They agreed to spheres of influence. It’s one thing to agree that, in a coming war, neither party will cross said lines, and it’s another entirely to make that a binding agreement to invade all of Europe together. You jumped from point A not to B, but to Z, making up a bunch of assumptions that have no logical basis in between.
Well it was an agreement to divide Europe. Invasion ended up happening in lots of places to further solidify that sphere of influence. So very closely connected.
No, lol. It was an agreement that if war broke out, the Nazis and communists would stick to their areas. First, neither expected it to last, and second, it isn’t an agreement to invade Europe.
I don’t know about those, I just know what happened in that they did divide Europe to those spheres if influence and did end up invading or otherwise incorporating the mentioned areas. Not just the Soviets but the Nazis too.
They didn’t, though. They went to war to stop the Nazis, the only time it came into use was when the Nazis invaded Poland and the soviets prevented them from taking all of Poland.

Yes that’s what the secret protocol is about, it spells it out very clearly
Correct, it wasn’t about agreeing to invade and divide Europe. You’re conflating the two, but they aren’t at all the same.

That’s how the dividing worked
You’re implying
That the Soviets intended on invading Europe, and having the pact last
That the Soviets wanted to invade.
Neither is backed up by the facts at hand.

Also, there’s no need to reply on both threads.
