Because the ethnic cleansing of Poles as a cleansing mostly happened in Ukraine and Belarus? You know where they shipped most Ukrainian and Belarusian Poles to?

Poland!

There's obviously a lot to say about THAT in a Glorious Communist Utopia but it's pretty hard to argue Stalin was ethnically cleansing Poland of Poles when he was also shipping more ethnic Poles into Poland.

Now if you want to argue that Belarus was Polish territory before the Tsars conquered it there's at least a point there.

Are you taking the piss right now.

A million Poles are deported from Poland itself, some 150,000+ are outright executed, and you're saying that the Soviets were performing these atrocities on a larger scale in Ukraine and Belarus, when there weren't even a million Poles in the whole of the USSR.

Are you fucking stupid.

From your own source

The population exchange between Poland and Soviet Ukraine at the end of World War II was based on a treaty signed on 9 September 1944

1944

Couldn't do it in 1941, now could they?

Don't forget the part where America and Britain agreed.

...

We're talking about a genocide that happened 1938-1941

Don’t forget the part where America and Britain agreed.

Yes, I remember when America and Britain said "Wow, you go Stalin, I love that you've expelled and exterminated over a quarter of the Polish nation in the land that was once Poland, a sovereign state that one of us was outright allied with!" in 1941.
