in that the pact between the Nazis and Communists only gave the Soviet Union *part* of Poland.


Riiight, just as the Nazis got a ‘part’ of Czechoslovakia. Six months later they got the rest of the country.

——————-
The Nazi-Soviet pact gave the Soviet Union approximately half of Poland, among other things. The Germans had a very tight grip on the rest of Poland. Had the Germans not attacked the Soviet Union nearly 2 years later, that would have stayed that way for quite a while. As it is, neither side had any intention of abiding by the terms of that pact forever, it was just a convenience that suited both of them at the moment.

History doesn’t care whether you like it or not, it just is. Facts are facts, and despite the fact that you despise the Soviet Union, it did help to destroy roughly 3/4 of the German army during World War II. Also, factually, the Germans attacked the Soviet Union, not the other way around. Believe me, I despise the Soviet Union and all leftist ideologies, as my grandfather‘s family was destroyed by Communism. But facts remain facts, whether you or I or anyone else likes those facts or not.
