The unfortunate part about the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact being used by libs as a defence, is whenever it’s debunked the Libs come back full force talking about the dual-invasion of Poland, claiming the Soviets and Nazis worked together to destroy Poland.
I would like to point them that these baltics , the whole poland, finland were under Russian empire before WW1 . Lenin came and signed the Brest treaty which was sort of humiliation for Russia (even Trotsky was against it ). Finland was given independence , balts became vassals of Germany and the curzon line drawn after Poland was given independence was violated by Poland. Now it seems Red Army in 1920 violated some protocol to free Poland ,stalin negated this step (it was bolshevik poles who wanted a Bolshevik Poland it seems idk). In that war Poland took huge chunk of territory which is now western ukraine. In molotov pact, Stalin reversed this by gifting some fuel to hitler that's it and avoided a severe clash in 1939 after getting rejected by UK and French. So summing it up balts were not independent they were vassals of Germany . Stalin avoided a direct confrontation and 3rd and its a lie from balts and polish fascists governments that Hitler and Stalin both started WW2. That's a enormous lie.

I like to bring up that the Soviets didn't invade Poland, they liberated the Polish-occupied parts of Ukraine, Belarus, and Lithuania.
