@alexbeau348 So, whom they attacked at 17th September 80 years ago? I'm simply curious guy, you know.

@alexbeau348 How many Russians lived in this "Russian territory"? Do you know that "Polish robbers" resigned from some areas offered by the Soviets, like Minsk, for example? That's some sophisticated robbery, isn't it? They give you stuff, and you don't take it! And why have the Soviets signed, then violated the peace treaty if they still wanted those places? Germany still wants parts of Poland, no peace treaty. Japan wants their islands, no peace treaty with Russia. Soviet Union signs a peace treaty, even offers more than Poland takes and then suddenly decides otherwise and attacks "no one" (10 OOO casualties in this not-an-attack against nobody). BTW - Do you know that recently Russia wanted to get rid of Ukraine with the help of Poland? We take Lviv, they "liberate" the rest. I'm sure they'd attack nobody and simply regain their lost territories, like always... (We know of it, because our foreign affair guy became offended and spitted it all out.)

@alexbeau348 "its like japanese who fought 20 years after losing the war" Those idiots didn't know that Japan was no more? You say the most interesting things...

@agentc7020 "yes they didn’t know" I feel as stupid as them. Since when Japan is no more? Please, inform me.

@agentc7020 "[Japan] had lost the war" You mean, they capitulated? Oh, that's another story. Poland never capitulated. Actually, we still do not have official peace with Germany, but that's another story. Don't bother with the lost Japanese soldier. I know of him. The point was, that even if Japan has lost the war, it didn't stop existing. And another is, that the war is not lost until you give up fighting. Japan gave up finally, Poland never did.

@ohmandamp " [Romania] could not Harbor a government hostile to another government and still claim neutrality" Maybe, but since they didn't "harbor" any foreign governments, they could claim whatever they wanted. "Officially", since you are so hung up on legalese, the members of the Polish government were simply passing through. In more practical terms, they were coordinating the evacuation of the Polish army, at least technically. Whether their presence helped or not, large portions of the Polish army escaped and reformed in France later that year. German losses in October exceeded those in September. In part because defending very long border with Germany, Prussia and Czechoslovakia was an impossible task, which Polish strategy for defense recognized to some extend. The plan was to retreat behind Vistula and survive till the Allies attack. But it were the Soviets who attacked instead. What to do, apart from organizing more or less orderly escape?

@ohmandamp "military alliances with Poland that obliged the former to declare war on anybody that invaded Poland." Not really, unfortunately. The official part off the treaty does not mention Germany explicitly, but they are strongly suggested. The secret part of the treaty makes it clear that it's a treaty against Germany, and in case of invasion by anybody else, the signers will "consult" each other. Basically, they were not bound to attack USSR.

@ohmandamp "The treaty that is the topic of the quote above is the 1921 one." We had more treaties. The one from 1524 is especially interesting, because in case Italy joined the war, Poland would have to help France in regaining Milan. I'm not entirely sure we could have done that... Anyway, it was obvious from both the French and British treaties, that they were not interested in guaranteeing the safety of Poland in case of war against Soviet Union. 80 years later, they still aren't. (Substitute Russia for USSR, obviously.)

@ohmandamp "fascist White armies" Fascist? Read on who funded Bolsheviks. The revolution was created by German Reichsmarks. Astronomical sums! (In excess of 50 million gold marks.) Lenin was a German spy. Germans dictated Brest-Litovsk treaty. They could do it, because they were still paying and they could destroy Lenin by telling on him. Lenin was a spy and a traitor of his own country. Besides, fascism was a system which opposed democracy and proclaimed a one-party state. Dictatorship for life and so on. How many parties there were in USSR? One? Boo. Fascists idea. How about the term or service of rulers? Lifetime? Boo. Again, fascist idea. How about nationalization of property? Another fascist idea. Sure, fascists opposed international communists, because they believed in nation states, but apart from that there are more similarities than differences. Not so with the British and the French. Their ideologies of limiting the political power, free trade, free enterprise, freedom of speech and so on, were actually totally different from either fascist or communist ideologies.
