As to Polish colonial ambitions - it may seem ridiculous, but it's true.

There was so called "Maritime and Colony League", which aimed to turn Poland into a colonial power, claimed that Poland ought to acquire part of the former German colonies. They wanted to buy part of Angola, or Madagascar.

As to Polish government "somehow preventing USSR from signing an anti-German alliance with the UK and France that lead to Soviet-German pact in 1939" you should know, that Sobviet condition was, that Poland would let their troops in, to station and go trough Polish territory."

The Soviets would be "guests" very difficult to get rid of.
The Baltics states let them in to defend them against Nazi Germany and how it finished - we all know. Today's Russian authorities maintain, that the Baltics invited Soviet troops, so it's legal, that those countries became Soviet republics.

I'm amazed you have unbiased attitude to Polish history. That's great, man!

Interesting, that the final result was the same. But, given that Poland would have kept its military if it had supported USSR's agenda before the British, this solution looks better.
As for the Baltics states, legally they invited Soviet troops. And at first, there were no resistance, until the Soviets began installing Soviet power.
