Reclaimed is a weird way to say : took land that hadn't been theirs away from the people living there.
"After the Polish government fell" is a weird way to say, they invaded and helped destroy the government.
Another Whatabout? No one here praised the UK.
Reclaimed is precise. Poland seized Western Ukraine, Western Belarus, and Vilnius in 1921 while those nations were fighting for survival. The people there weren't Polish, they were Ukrainian, Belarusian, Lithuanian. The Soviet Union didn't "take from people living there"; it ended Polish occupation and reunited those populations with their Soviet republics.
No, you're confused. The Polish state collapsed under the German blitz. The government fled to Romania on September 17 then the USSR crossed the border. The Red Army moved into a power vacuum to secure the border and protect Ukrainian/Belarusian civilians from the advancing Wehrmacht. They didn't "help destroy" a government that had already abandoned its people.
The UK is literally in the image you're replying to and asking about. Are you illiterate? Idiot. But what's to be expected of someone who thinks Hitler was elected.
Lol. You literally asked a question and then accuse the answer of being "whatabout". You absolute idiot
Lol. Maybe you should learn basic facts before spouting off.
No, it's a normal way of saying the opposite
