If they threatened war, they would have been attacked. They knew an attack was coming, and giving the Nazis a cause for war could have been used by the west to side with the Nazis. This was not without evidence.
Harry Truman later, in 1941 in front of the Senate, stated:
If we see that Germany is winning we ought to help Russia, and if Russia is winning we ought to help Germany, and that way let them kill as many as possible, although I don’t want to see Hitler victorious under any circumstances.
Are you calling the mountains of evidence the Nazis did it falsified, or do you just make it a habit to take Goebbels at his word?
If they threatened war, they would have been attacked.
We don’t know that, nor if the attack on Poland would’ve gone ahead with the threat from both sides. That’s why it would’ve been a gamble. Then again, so was making a deal with them, Germany might have continued on the attack once both sides met in Poland.
Gotcha, so your point is that you denounce the Soviets for not taking an almost assured loss, and you do tkae Goebbels at his word even when evidence points to the contrary.

I mean I’m denouncing everyone else too who didn’t do more to stop the Nazis.
The Soviets did the most before, during, and after World War II, and it isn’t close.
I’m not sure how you’d measure it but they sure sacrificed a lot.
And yet you wish they had sacrificed more
20 million Soviet lives, countless buildings and factories, massive amounts of resources and material. It was by far the most.
