Ahh, but the ONE historical hypothetical you forgot that I DIDN'T was the peace negotiation with GB and the US. Had he done that it would have extended the time frame on the US's buildup. Additionally, the Russian bear wasn't on the warpath at all. History tells us the idiot known as Stalin was caught so completely off-guard by Operation Barbarosa that German spies were actually sleeping with Stalin's wife and he didn't know it until it was too late. could you show proof of this? i have never heard it before Further historical evidence regarding the lack of preparedness of the Russian war machine was the sheer ineptitude of their turdy little a/c at the outset of the war with Germany. completely inaccurate when viewed with the light of supported documentation of the russian deployment of 170 plus divissions in the area Many of the significant German aces of WWII gained their fame flying against turd haulers flown by Russian pile its with zero ACM experience and that hadn't even bothered to grow hair in their armpits yet. russia never based its combat effectiveness on quality, it has always been of the mind that you should charge the enemy with overwhelming force until they run out of bullets then defeat them with your reserves To add insult to injury, the Russians had to lend-lease aircraft from the US...the P-40's and P-39's...planes rated as disposable by the US and no match for the German "wolfpacks". they took free stuff, they needed to close the gap in technology cause they were finding that the loses suffered in their previous strategy were too great. additionally the wanted to do as they have always done take and copy the tech of others.
So, my hypothetical trumps your hypothetical due to the realities of the war. niether your hype nor your realities stand up to a reasonable challenge
ok Changeup im awake and ready.......
first, the peace agreement between US and GB was a worthless document if the US did not have a staging area in the ET. our bombers could not cross the Atlantic, our ships would have no safe harbors and we would have had no place to build up on that side of the world. with out the constant bombing to delay and interfere with the German production of its war machine then the time that the US was delayed in entering the war from the Asiatic side of Europe (assuming they eventually defeated Japan and then managed to get China's or Russia's permission to occupy then cross through their lands with entire armies) how big do you think the German military machine would have been? (especially when they were facing only one enemy front? a landing anywhere in Europe would have been impossible, so only the eastern front could be assailed) with the tech advantage and the open pilfering of all of Europe's resources unhindered would have given them the ability to build up to a size that would quickly become unsurmountable by a third party military force.
second Russia had every intentions of pulling a sneak punch on Germany as early as late 38 early 39...as can be shown by their
negotiations with the United Kingdom, France, Poland, and Romania to establish an alliance against Nazi Germany. The negotiations failed when the Soviet Union insisted that Poland and Romania give Soviet troops transit rights through their territory as part of a collective security agreement. The failure of those negotiations led the Soviet Union to conclude the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact with Nazi Germany on 23 August. yes its WiKi but its correct so deal with it!
the Russian bear was most definitely on the war path, they were aggressors in the conflicts that would become WWII European Theater! they invaded Poland on 17 September 1939 then invaded Finland on 30 November 1939. thy spent most of 40 building up in what could only be viewed in a attack profile, not a defensive one.
now read this paper, very interesting read actually....give you a different perspective on the world situation..

P.S. just so the world at large understands, alot of the informational sites that you will find this anti-public school opinion stuff in is on sites that may (not all support, some just tell it from the other side of the fence without promotion or twisting of events) support either Germany at large or the nationalist theme of government.
none of the papers i posted are politically undertoned or tainted, but others on the sites may be. i am not in any fashion a NAZI or a NAZI sympathizer, i am just into knowing as much truth with as little propaganda as possible, i find that the only way to accomplish this is to look on both sides of the fence while balancing upon the top. the papers letters and speeches sited as references within the articles exist as well as the events that transpired, this is the factual side of things, what truths or conclusions you as a person draw from the information is purely up to you as an intelligent and sentient being capable of thinking for yourself.
let few men tell you what to think......let NO MAN tell you how to think!!!!
