Poland was a lost cause by the time the Soviets made their invasion. All they'd accomplish by declaring war on the USSR is drive them to directly ally with the Germans, which would make an allied victory nearly impossible.
Jordan Adams
They did not know what "sowjets" were.

Or after Soviet invasion of Finland?
Gee, I wonder!
Because Churchill was not man of the hour yet. Had he been listened there would been no war in Europe and Anglo-Italo-Franco alliance would have crushed Germany and Bolsheviks would been kept at bay (again, had Churchill been listened, Brittons would have not left Russia before proper intervention and desruction of the Bolsheviks after their coup).

Churchill wasn't getting bankrolled to go after Asiatic Jews. Quite the contrary, actually.
Adrian Howard
Why would they do that? The British were pragmatic and knew that they could just let them duke it out with each other for the most part.

>the UK only went to war with Germany because of "the jews"
Imagine being this delusional

They didnt really think they could handle both germany and the soviets at the same time. When germany and soviets were allied the situation was pretty gloom for the brits.

Same reason your father didn't pull out, everyone makes mistakes

Filthy angl*s said they'll declare war if germans attack us, not if anyone attacks us. And then they did declare war. They even attacked Germany, 5 years later. Greatest ally.
More seriously, they had no obligation to declare war on ussr because they had no binding agreements regarding that with poland/finland/other soviet victims. Sneaky angl*s knew there will be a chance to convince the soviets to join them later.

I expect the idea, was don't bite off more than you can chew. Especially after the white Russian business. Plus the Germans were more of a threat. The Germans 1939 to 1945, the Soviet union 1947 to 1991. With a tea break, 1946.

Because Fascism is a threat that must always be resisted, at home and abroad.

They nearly did. They were close a couple times but of course they would forget all about it if they had to so it wouldn't change anything.

Gee I don't know.
