A month after invading Poland together, Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia signed the "Nazi–Soviet Boundary and Friendship Treaty".

    A month after invading Poland together

    They did not. Germany invaded Poland and poland capitulated and the government went into exile. Then, the Soviets entered the former Polish territory to prevent it getting into the hands of the Germans.

    Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia signed the "Nazi–Soviet Boundary and Friendship Treaty".

    Having "friendship" in the name is not an alliance either.

    Oh shit! Soviet Russia didn't aid Hitler in a premeditated war of conquest against Poland? The Soviets and Nazis "didn't" make agreements on how to divvy up Europe between them?

    Yeah, Stalin waited two weeks to invade Poland, he's a SAINT!

    No they literally did not. The molotov-ribbentrop pact is declassified you can go and read it. It said nothing about a joint invasion.

    Thank you for the explanation, here I was thinking Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia coincidentally co-invaded Poland by happenstance.

    Invasions take months of planning. The Nazis were planning on invading not the soviets. The molotov-ribbentrop pact was signed 2 weeks before the Nazis invaded and signed 1 week before by the supreme Soviet.

    Of course I'm sure you would've rather all of Poland go to the Nazis when they capitulated.

    So the Soviets didn't sign a treaty with Hitler to split Poland between them?

    Here I was thinking signing an alliance with Adolf Hitler to invade a country together was something vile enough anyone could easilly condemn, thanks for correcting me!
