There is surely a lesson to be learnt from history. The UK offered certain assurances to Poland before WWII then backed off when it realised that the heat was too much.

- admissionsguy 2y agoThis has been debunked. The French and English did not intervene in force because Poland fell unexpectedly fast. If Ukraine had fallen in a matter of days, there also would not have been Western help.
