Well, Poland didn't deserve any help. They saided with the Nazis them selfs and where very happy to help Hitler destroy Czechoslovakia 38. They got exactly what they deserved.

Almost everyone sided with Germans against Czechs. Czechs were demonised by international mass media as persecutores of Germans in Sudetendland same way as Serbs were deminonised as persecutoers of Albanians in Kosovo. Slovakia was pressured to separate as Montenegro today and in the end the remainded of Bohemia got occupied.

It is true that Poles took side of international community against Czechs. I am not justifying this misdeed but the motive was to take back the Zaolzie region which Czechs stole from Poles in 1919 when Poles were fighting against Bolsheviks. If not this sorry dispute, Poles probably would remain neutral or pro-Czech.

Well on this we can agree. The similarities are frightning (Kosovo and the Sudets). I didn't lose any sleep over the stupid Macedonians either. When small countries try to get ahead by appeasing powerful ones at the cost of there neighbour they usually get screwed in the end. And as this article very well points out the Poles have learnt little if anything. The US will turn on the Poles as quickly as Germany once did, if it fits there interests.
