While I hate the communists and generally agree with your post a lot of us probably wouldn’t be here today had we gone to war with the soviets

Nope. Had things stayed the same the Soviets would have been beaten.

However, chew on this: We all know that it was the invading of Poland that forced the Allies hand. Wasn't the annexations. We need to remember that Stalin was in full annexation mode, too. Poland would have been invaded by the soviets anyway.

And that's where it gets a bit interesting. Instead of Germany being seen as aggressors, we have to remember there was equal propaganda against the soviets and Hitler would have used this to align with France and Britain - which allows the Germans to push eastward using a humanitarian front against the soviets while the allies help and provide cover.
