Also, didn’t Poland annex Czechoslovakia along with Hitler’s Munich agreement with the Western regimes?
U S S R was against that and even proposed a united front against Nazi Germany, but was ignored.
No. When Soviet troops entered eastern Poland on September 17th 1939, the Polish state had already collapsed. The government fled to Romania September 15th. Warsaw was already burning. The army was broken. The lands the USSR moved into were also not Poland proper but territories Poland had seized and occupied by force in 1919-1921 from Belarus, Ukraine, and Lithuania. Moving in to secure this land saved millions from extermination.
Whether the territory truly belonged to Poland is irrelevant. Frankly, I don’t give a shit whether Stalin was justified or if Poland was already collapsed. It’s just a matter of fact that they helped invade Poland. Russia and Poland still had a skirmish. Stalin and Hitler were in the talks. No reason to dance around it.
Why did you ask the question if you were just going to argue with the answer, to the point of just declaring that reality it wrong and that you’re just going treat your beliefs as “fact”
Didn’t Stalin help Hitler invade Poland?
Nope, that is one of the myths this meme is referring to.
Edit: never mind, you’re asking in bad faith like the right wing troll you are

But just downvote me, it’s fine.
You are right and these people practically negating an invasion that happened Is stupid, but everyobe was in talk with Hitler, even Poland and UK

Part of the act
Russia was literally one of the last to make a deal with the nazis
Like the allies very famously took forever to do anything of substance
