what stopped the ussr from saying

2019-07-15 08:10:48 UTC  

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

2019-07-15 08:10:49 UTC  

"germany dont invade poland"

2019-07-15 08:10:56 UTC  

yeah i believe that

2019-07-15 08:11:00 UTC  

that's why they teamed up with germany

2019-07-15 08:11:07 UTC  

yes because the request was ignored

2019-07-15 08:11:13 UTC  

molotov-ribbentrop was the best move after that

2019-07-15 08:11:17 UTC  

>hey we're scared of the germans

2019-07-15 08:11:21 UTC  

"let's team up with them"

2019-07-15 08:11:21 UTC  

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

2019-07-15 08:11:26 UTC  

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

2019-07-15 08:11:38 UTC  

yeah, i bet hitler would've not invaded poland

2019-07-15 08:11:43 UTC  

cuz he would have still needed to destroy france

2019-07-15 08:11:46 UTC  

and britain

2019-07-15 08:11:53 UTC  

all he did was give hitler time

2019-07-15 08:11:53 UTC  

He would have just later on

2019-07-15 08:12:03 UTC  

yeah, but he would be fighting a two front war

2019-07-15 08:12:09 UTC  

and the fucking centerpiece of hitler's strategy

2019-07-15 08:12:12 UTC  

or rather, his main goal

2019-07-15 08:12:15 UTC  

was to avoid a two front war

2019-07-15 08:12:19 UTC  

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

2019-07-15 08:12:23 UTC  

yeah

2019-07-15 08:12:26 UTC  

but if stalin was like

2019-07-15 08:12:30 UTC  

"you invade poland, we invade you"

2019-07-15 08:12:38 UTC  

It'd be more aggro

2019-07-15 08:12:42 UTC  

hitler would be forced to fight a two front war immediately

2019-07-15 08:12:48 UTC  

It might even prompt a sooner German invasion

2019-07-15 08:12:49 UTC  

which hiter did as much as he could to abvoid

2019-07-15 08:13:00 UTC  

No, hitler really wanted to avoid a two front war

2019-07-15 08:13:05 UTC  

he did everything in hus power

2019-07-15 08:13:09 UTC  

Then why'd he start one

2019-07-15 08:13:10 UTC  

to avoid it

2019-07-15 08:13:16 UTC  

because he throught the british werent a threat

2019-07-15 08:13:24 UTC  

cuz he was winning on all fronts

2019-07-15 08:13:24 UTC  

yeah maybe a guarantee on poland could have worked

2019-07-15 08:13:27 UTC  

ALSO

2019-07-15 08:13:33 UTC  

i can't really say why that course of action wasn't pursued

2019-07-15 08:13:34 UTC  

He literally negotiated with France to try and keep them out of the war.

2019-07-15 08:13:34 UTC  

He thought the ussr was useless because of the winter war

2019-07-15 08:13:44 UTC  

that's one important point

2019-07-15 08:13:47 UTC  

They where
