The CCCP was a co-beligerant with Germany in Poland. Dunno why they get a pass for that. Had germany not invaded, they would have happily been part of the problem as they were in 1939. The UK and France were most in the right in 1939, period (including the isolationist, neutral US). They put it all on the line for another country attacked by TWO great powers. Oddly, they didn't also declare vs the Soviets who were just as guilty, IMHO.
The decision cost France quite a lot (people forget how very many French were lost in the BoF, even though they folder quickly).
