Countries of Western Europe also took their sweet time before they actually joined in. Poland was supported by thoughts and prayers for a very long period - pretty much until other countries were attacked directly.

Poland was invaded on Sept 1st 1939, France and England declared war on Germany on the 3rd. 2 days is a very long period?
