Because as it stands Russian involvement in the war was far too isolated and never really poured into something greater, or has been written into. German Aggression involves a wider number of parties that creates a stronger column to give the story some merit.And Russian aggression isn't exactly something they haven't been doing and there's been little involvement from any one for the most part. If anything, as shit destabilizes in Europe there'd be too many distractions to raise fuss from the European powers as Russia re-absorbs some of its former Imperial provinces (which should also include a large part of Poland actually). Georgia doesn't really have any allies apart from Armenia and the Turks would be the most relevant since they're in the neighborhood. And a collapse of NATO and the European Union would certainly rationalize a weak response to Russia, if there isn't one retconned in.

Why does does WWIII -have- to revolve around Poland, though? Sure, it seems like Russia's aggression never really escalated to that point, but aren't there still plenty of problems that could cause a third world war? Dwindling fossil-fuel supplies, eastern Asia, etc. I don't see why an invasion of Poland -has- to be the catalyst for a third world war, and why a German invasion has to succeed if it does happen.
