In OTL, the Soviets signed the Nazi-Soviet Nonaggression Pact because they were unhappy about not being invited to the Munich Agreement. What if the Soviets had been invited and attended?
What difference would a country that has no direct border, is an international pariah, and is too busy with the Purges do when France and Britain sells Czechoslovakia down the river?
Because they were firmly allied with Czechoslovakia, and wouldn't sell them down the river, like France and Britain did?
Hilarious. All we know is that Stalin was very adamant about defending Czechoslovakia when there was absolutely zero chance of the USSR doing so.
If Stalin actually needed to defend Czechoslovakia - either alone or with the West - I doubt very much if much Soviet help would actually arrive. There is no evidence that Stalin would act on his words, and lots of historical precedent that such commitment would be ignored as soon as it can be convenient to do so.
Romanians would tolerate and actually allowed overflight OTL especially if promised they will be in certain higher altitude.Hitler doesn't go. Besides, the Soviets don't border the country and there is no way in hell the Poles or Romanians will tolerate the Soviets moving through. Hitler will get two new allies like that, pre 1939, if that happens. To say nothing of the purges.
