Germans,not nazis.They were about usual prussian thing - conqest more territory.You really need to actually understand what Hitler and the Nazis were about. As well as your irrational hatred of democracy which also throws your judgement totally off.
As long as soviets do not try openly backstab them/what Molotov did in 1940/ they would be happy with taking Africa and invading England.
And,as a result,soviets would backstab them and we would have soviet Europe.
P.S I was taking not about Democracy,but Democrats.And their strange custom of giving everything to soviets for free.
Allies,like Poland,should be sell for something,noit given free!
Who teached FDR and Truman politics ?
1.You have a point.I forget,that there was one road.Soviets would throw slaves to build more,but it would take time.Soviet logistics in 1940 are just as bad as half a year earlier, when during the mostly unopposed invasion of Poland some tank units lost 3/4ths of their tanks over 200-250km due to breakdowns.
There is a single - single tracked - railroad across mountains and steppe/desert leading from Baku to Abadan - 1100km. Good luck!
With Churchill and other "Easteners*/panic mongers" in the Gov't rest assured that by spring '40 there would be a strong British corps - if not more - in Iraq. Plus possible French troops.
Yes, the Soviets would get to south Iran. Give them a few months. And then it is a repeat of the Manchurian War (or North Africa) on a smaller scale. Same principle applies - long distance, one RR.
Look at Soviet performance in Afganistan 40 years later.
* Ye Olde British "ankle biting" warwinning strategy - capture an island here (Wrangel Island or suchlike would be ideal), a peninsula there (Kamchatka!) ...
ATP hints at harbouring a certain distaste for democraTS (the US DNC), not democraCY.
And,where we taking about ankle biting,Magadan was connected only by sea with rest of soviets,had gold,and deatch camps,and only NKWD thugs to fight there.
Ideal for taking - England would get gold and propaganda ammo.
And, yes,i do not like Democrats - not becouse they gave us to soviets,but becouse they did it for free.
When in politics notching should be for free.
