Trotsky did oppose the disastrous invasion of Poland in 1920. But he also declared in 1933 that if he were leader of the USSR (and therefore the Red Army had not been crippled by Stalin's criminal adventure of forced collectivization) he would have mobilized for war at the instant Hitler was named Reichskanzellor. And who can doubt that he would have been justified to do so?
