It makes sense they didn't declare on Russia because they couldn't have possibly beat both of them at once

so it didn't constitute an invasion in the eyes of the international community

this is partially why the german invasion of the USSR was so successful initially

Its not like they did the cold war afterwards lol

because they just jumped on them and destroyed them

there wouldn't have been a neutral state between them

germany would have just taken all of poland

Best irony of the war: Germany's air raid towers couldn't be destroyed by any weapons we used in the war (besides nukes), so they were basically impregnable fortresses.

Unfortunately there weren't enough of them.

again, the USSR could've guarenteed poland

Tfw you invade your own buffer state

or done something

the ussr tried to do something similar

but the allies ignored their request

They wanted other peoples stuff

what do the allies have to do with anything

Like all Communists

what stopped the ussr from saying

the ussr sent a request to the allies to conduct a joint invasion of germany with britain, france, and poland

"germany dont invade poland"

yeah i believe that

that's why they teamed up with germany

yes because the request was ignored

molotov-ribbentrop was the best move after that

>hey we're scared of the germans

"let's team up with them"

Who in the allies wants to fight all the way into deep Russia

The USSR could've easily said "We're declaring a formal military alliance with Poland. If you invade Poland, we invade you."

yeah, i bet hitler would've not invaded poland

cuz he would have still needed to destroy france

and britain

all he did was give hitler time

He would have just later on

yeah, but he would be fighting a two front war

and the fucking centerpiece of hitler's strategy

or rather, his main goal

was to avoid a two front war

He needed to destroy France and UK and they still dc'd on Russia, lol

yeah

but if stalin was like

"you invade poland, we invade you"

It'd be more aggro
