And remember that Britain and France were trying to woo Russia, before Russian signed with Hitler. The reason? Britain and France said “no” to Russia getting half of Poland in return.
And just to be clear, I’m not a fan of Ukraine/US/EU in all this.
As I’ve been saying from the beginning regarding Ukraine:
We are being lied to by the Russian media and authorities.
We are being lied to by the Ukrainian media and authorities.
We are damn sure being lied to by the US media and authorities.
We are being lied to by the EU media and authorities.
We are being lied to by the Brit media and authorities.
In War the first casualty is the Truth.
The Poles may be the least bad actors in all of this.
“And remember that Britain and France were trying to woo Russia, before Russian signed with Hitler. The reason? Britain and France said “no” to Russia getting half of Poland in return.”
Which just supports the conclusion that Russia is interested in expansion, and always has been.
Think about it: Prior to Germany’s invasion of Poland on September 1, 1939 the Russians were playing off the Germans against the French and British; its only interest was itself: It would align with whichever gave the Russians the best deal (the Russians coveted Poland). France and Germany said that neither they nor Russia should take any part of Poland. Russia said, “Nyet! We want part of Poland, and if you don’t agree to that, we’ll go to the Nazis and make a deal with them!” Which, of course, it what they did.
Parts of Poland weren’t a part of anti-Hitler deal.

No. The Soviets did not ask the British and French for Polish territory. They only asked to enter Polish territory to fight Germany. The Poles refused Soviets on their land and Hitler swooped in with a better offer.
