Sounds like that's an argument for that decision having prolonged the war, but Poland has every right not to cede territory to anyone. Still not on board blaming Britain and France for Germany's decision to invade Poland.
That decision is the primary reason for the war.
Hitler didn't want Poland to cede any territory. He would have ceded the German territories in exchange for a corridor to East Prussia. They refused and in the end lost everything.
And besides a nation also has every "right" to take back its occupied territories.
If you tell someone "we'll support you no matter what" you involve yourself directly and then you are at the very least partially responsible for their actions. Whether you like it or not. Britains guarantee made sure that Poland would refuse any and all peaceful resolutions to the corridor problem and thus it directly caused an escalation.
