Here's a serious question I have.

So Germany invaded Poland. England, France, DOWd Germany.

Russia invades Poland a week later.....no one DOWs Stalin.

How come?

[Caliga]

Because Stalin was trying to help the Poles.  Duh!  Putin is good at helping people in that manner too.

The Soviets liberated The Baltics and Poland from the tyranny of self-rule.

iIRC the soviets didn't actually DOW Poland and were just claiming to be defending the Belarusian and Ukrainian minorities (Hmm.... That sounds familiar....) since Poland had collapses due to the German invasion.

It was noted however and helped push along the crazy plans to bomb the soviets during the winter war.
