Careful who you make pact with
Let’s return to those thrilling days of yesterday that have faded away in memory. In 1939 there was this pesky country called Poland that was located between Hitler’s Germany and Stalin’s Russia. Each of them thought Poland should not exist and both concluded a treaty called the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact calling for Poland to be divided between the bitter enemies and each would friendly wave at each other across the demarcation line. This treaty also called for a non-aggression pact between Germany and Russia which allowed Russia the freedom to attack Finland and absorb the Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania creating the old Soviet Union. When Germany invaded Poland, France and Germany declared war on Germany and World War II began to engulf the entire planet.
