I believe Russia is an example of a country in both Europe and Asia. I'm sure there are more countries, but I'd need to look at a map to know what they are. Hope this helps!
Answer:
I believe you mean the Molotov - Ribbentrop Pact. Its was the Pact of nonaggression between Soviet Russia And Hitler's Germany. They Signed this treaty for both large and powerful nations at the time to agree on conquestable lands (Poland and Other Baltic Countries). But it was still more of a Non-aggression until Hitler broke it and started War Against Soviet Russia, Which was a very bad move.
Explanation:
Your question presupposes that there is one "literal meaning" to the word in question whereas there are a number of "figurative meanings". Where there are multiple meanings they can be read differently. It doesn't matter whether they are literal or figurative; it is quite possible for two literal meanings of the same word to be read differently. E.g. "I know the ship has a bow, but I don't know who it was that tied it."
