Aha… So it was Germans who helped in creation of the USSR and then tried to undo their mistake in WW2, but unsuccessfully.
Well, they opened up WW2 in cooperation with the USSR to genocide Poland together.
Aaaand the USSR supplied germany with resources for years before WW2.
Yes, but then they attacked the USSR 1941. I haven’t said that they started the WW2 by attacking USSR.
