Well the civil war was already ongoing but ultimately splitting Poland with Hitler, and before that seizure of Azerbaijan and Georgia caucuses, occupation of the Baltic countries, invasion of Ukraine, Polish-Soviet war, and invasion of Finland etc even before the invasion of the Soviet Union sounds pretty revanchist to me

The point is Germany had no room to squawk about Versailles given the punitive terms they laid on Russia.

Thank you for using the word "squawk". My midwestern boss says it on occasion and it's just like hearing my fave song on the radio. You never expect it and it's just a delight.
