> he would have risked russia launching a surprise attack, or he would have given them more time to arm themselves and prepare for war. russia never actually intended to be anything but allies with germany. stalin had a (no homo) boner for hitler, who in his meth fueled paranoia foresaw them betraying him like they did napoleon. even though they had no motivation whatsoever to do this being landlocked with so many potential enemies on all sides. hitler also could have critically changed the course of the war in his favor by not bombing britain. had he just left them to rot on their shit stained rocks yapping for more war like a little dog, the us might've gone through with their (real and factual) plan to blockade the brits and annex them even in spite of the hebraic plan that was executed to rope us into the war on the side of britain. the justification wouldn't of been there with its cities intact, cities we wanted to conquer intact with a blockade mind you.
