Yet not on the Soviet Union for invading Poland, then became allies of the Soviet Union.
Both governments were secretly controlled by Bolshevists.

Its interesting, why declare war on one country and become the ally of another (shortly thereafter) when they both did the same thing.

Do you have a link for this because I'm not seeing anything about it on MSM.

Britain and France had a treaty with Poland, specifically agreeing to defend it from a German invasion. No such clause about Russia. If you're saying itvwas hypocritical, no argument from me. But it wasn't arbitrary.

Did this happen today?

Russia also didn’t exactly formally publicize what they did. And it happened a few weeks later. And declaring war on another massive country would have been a bold move under the circumstances.

And to top it all off. Fought said war to defend Poland and turned around and gave the rest of Poland to Comrade Stalin after the war was over.

You’re overthinking this. There were other reasons

Russia tried to ally with the French and British against the nazis and they wouldn't do it. So they looked to the Germans to keep them at bay longer

1. The French and British guarantee to Poland only concerned German aggression. It never once said anything about the Soviet Union.
2. The British and French viewed the Russians as exploiting Germany’s conquest for their own ends, not necessarily as a co-equal power in the Axis alliance.

Ok I’ll bite. What makes you think Britain and France were run by bolsheviks? They sided with America during the Cold War. Winston Churchill was a hardcore anti-communist and advocated for an invasion of the USSR after the war. I suppose the USA was also secretly communist for lend lease. But yes I’m sure the world is now run by globalist bolsheviks or some shite like that and the Soviet Union was only a front to hide their true intentions. France and Britain declared on Germany because of the treaty Jim was talking about and tensions were very high with Germany at the time. It would also be suicide for them to declare on both Germany and the Soviet Union.

The Soviet Union also invaded neutral Finland, but, that didn't stop the Allies buddying up to the Soviet Union.
And Lawrence of Arabia massacred Turkish Army non-combatants but the UK considers him a Hero.
Moral of the story: A lot of what we are told and taught is just propaganda.

The Allies were at first very conflicted about what to do concerning the Soviet-Finnish War. Eventually they had formulated a plan to send soldiers through neutral Norway and Sweden to assist the Finns but by the time they had that plan in place it was too late.

At any rate, it was a worthless pledge. There was very little they could do directly to stop Germany. They could have done even less to Russia.
