Backing Poland was a choice in the 1930s.

Just like not backing the Ukraine was a choice in the 2010s.

There were applicable treaties. It was a choice, and now all your friends are dead.

Not backing Poland has to be blamed on the guy before Churchill though?

Fine, Chamberlain.

The Dunkirk fiasco and movie should be renamed "So maybe don't back Poland next time"

Although the WWII's successes are taught as such, there just isn't a history of nobility to support what happened.
