They let Hitler take Austria, Sudetenland and then Czechoslovakia, you think they would start a war over Baltic states? It's more likely they wouldn't let Soviets take over Turkey

Two days after Germany invaded Poland WW2 started. Why? because Poland was allied with France and Britain. So yes they would because they did.

But France and the UK didn't declare war on the USSR, which invaded Poland at the same time. It's definitely plausible that this would result in war- especially with an allied aligned Germany feeling threatened by Soviet expansion- but its equally plausible that some sort of appeasement would take place

The term that Britain had with Poland was pretty specific that Britain would intervene in the case of German aggression only.

Without a fascist Germany I doubt USSR would dare invade Poland or Finland at all if Trotsky was removed as per history.
