thing im curious about what did stalin get out of molotov-ribbentrop? just half of Poland? seems like stalin was giving up way more than he was getting what incentive did he even have to ally himself with hitler?

My impression was that various purges of the Red Army meant that parts of it, particularly the officer corp, were not as battle ready as their German counterparts. So, a delay in hostilities gave them a bit of breathing room. However, I'm not a professional historian.

deffo neither "professional" or "historian", but that'd be my take as well
