The way I read it, the Soviet Union partnered with Nazi Germany to invade Poland.

This wasn’t the Soviet Union invading Poland to protect Poland against the Nazi invasion. The Soviet Union attacked Poland and fought the Polish army in order to split Polish territories with Nazi Germany.

Not sure how that compares to Ford/IBM selling equipment to the Nazi regime prior to hostilities.

Don't forget Munich Agreement [1] that had happened a year before the respective strategic move on the part of USSR. There's no moral stance to hold against another nation's attemt to get a favourable position (for themselves) if it happens in a wake of and in accordance to their geo-political opponents' moves. The rest of Europe had been acting the same way whilst being busy preparing for a newly emerging conflict.

Yes, and justifies further the West’s attempts to arm Ukraine to prevent Russia’s territorial aspirations.
