They did honour the polish treaty, though I dont think Hitler thought they would, and called their bluff, but they werent bluffing. Molotov-Ribentrop might be the biggest betrayal. I think the allies were counting on Soviet support but Stalin was playing both sides.

Nah. Stalin was certainly cynical, but logical, and did not betray any commitments. How could he trust the British/French after Munich? Much more to it than that (my area of study) of course, but that captures the spirit of the thing.
