You’re expecting the USSR to have imperilled tens of millions of lives and risk wholesale extermination by deliberately undermining their own position based solely on “well, you know for sure!”
The UK and France didn’t commit to jack shit. They had a long history of enabling the Nazis at that point, planning to use them as their attack dog in the east. Not only that, the USSR had been pleading for an anti-nazi alliance for a long time and got ignored.
Then you probably shouldn’t condemn the soviets for not letting them have it
They let Nazi Germany have parts of Poland and Lithuania in the agreement.
They weren’t in a position to stop them.
We don’t know how it would’ve played out if both Western Allies and the USSR committed publicly to declaring war in case Poland is attacked.

France and UK committed to it. I don’t expect the USSR to have done it, but I would’ve preferred to see that sort of larger deterrent.

Ok.
The USSR isn’t obligated to sabotage it’s own existence because some random unborn Finish person “would’ve preferred to see it”
Not to mention the UK and Frances commitment turned out to be extremely token, a fact that came as zero suprise to the USSR
What’s this about being obligated
So what even is your position anymore? You’ve stayed completely from where you started
