Western Europe literally joined the Nazis. Stalin merely had a truce with them.
You also ignored all the Western truces with Hitler including by Britain.
Hahahaha no it wasn't.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molotov%E2%80%93Ribbentrop_Pact
And for added lols; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish_Operation_of_the_NKVD
They had more than a truce. They had a full alliance. They planned together and the soviets completely engaged in aiding Germany with it's assault.
It's also likely Hitler betrayed the Russians and did what he had done because he was on fucking meth. A more level headed leader probably would've played the relationship different and work alongside the soviets even longer.
So to reiterate, they formed a full on alliance and focused on the cultural destruction of the Polish people. And it took Hitler on meth to betray the Russians for them to drop the relationship.
And how am I ignoring anything? It's well known in history how the west aimed to appease Hitler and failed because it was understood how aggressive he was aiming to be and they didn't want a second great war. It has nothing to do with the relationship between Hitler and Stalin. You're just trying to smear blame and pull some whataboutism crap. It won't fly.
Did Stalin offer the West to fight Hitler with him before that truce and was ignored yes or no?
