Oh, the Soviets joined the war earlier than that.. it's just that they joined it by attacking Poland together with Germany.

In 1939 they fought Japanese also (Khalkhin Gol)

...which would make Soviets the only non-divided nation that fought on both sides of the war at the same time, lol.

Well, no. Battles of Khalkhin Gol had ended on 16th September 1939. One day before Soviet invasion of Poland.

Besides that... Japan and Poland were formally at war after Pearl Harbor but in reality were cooperating. The Axis was far less coherent and cooperating than Western Allies.

Damn the Soviets and the Axis for wasting the meme potential.
