Port yes they joined ON GERMANY's side. They jointly entered Poland and split it 50/50 This is revisionist. The Soviets didn't "team up" with the Nazis as many like to paint it. The Soviets were begging for the help of America with Germany and didn't want to join arms against them without a guarantee of support since they would be entering a war with two fronts. The treaty was expected to be broken by Hitler and was simply a measure to delay, for the Soviets and Nazis, neither side was 100% committed without ensuring proper support. Stalin anticipated correctly and did eventually get the help of the Americans. Stop with the anti Soviet propaganda pieces our western nations push

Stop with the anti Soviet propaganda pieces our western nations push Your argument doesn't address the fact that the soviets still cooperated with Germany to invade Poland. That's what teaming up is. Don Quixote de la Mancha , may have been wrong about the Germans and Soviets being on the same side, but they were right about how Germany and Russia still cooperated with each other. Furthermore, Stalin never saw American support as necessary until he got caught with his pants down in the initial stages of Operation Barbarossa. If Hitler left the soviets alone, Stalin would have eventually invaded him with a fully prepared Red Army. Stalin would be willing to fight Germany without American support if Hitler did everything that Stalin predicted he would do. This isn't revisionist nor propaganda. It's fact. By the way, isn't it revisionist for you to downplay the soviet invasion of Poland?

Don Quixote de la Mancha, the Soviets got like a third of the population. It was nowhere near 50-50. However, the Soviets still killed double the Poles as Germany, so there is officially some reason to believe that the Poles did not like Soviet occupation. We at your local news station are horrified that some people do not like the glory of communism. Coming back next time with a theatrical representation of "Ode to Lenin"

RIP Franco, he got a generic portrait. I know, even Classic gave him a spot in the HQ.
