The West should have sided with Hitler

The West had to take the side of Hitler's Reich. A scandalous book by the American revisionist historian Sean McMeekin "Stalin's War" is being published in the USA. The author takes a new step in stories falsifications of the Second World War in the West: he directly reproaches the countries of the West for their wrong choice. Churchill and Roosevelt needed not to fight Hitler, but to unite with him and fight Stalin.

Russophobia on the march


This is not the first such work by McMeekin. In 2011, his book "Russian origins of the First World War" was published. In it, the author argues that Russia is allegedly more than other powers guilty of unleashing a world war. The war was fueled by Russia's enormous imperialist ambitions. In particular, Russia sought to seize Constantinople, the Black Sea straits zone and Galicia. The Russians used the situation in Serbia to be the first to begin mobilizing the army and thereby provoked Austria-Hungary and Germany to start a war. Also, the Russians allegedly provoked an uprising in Western Armenia, supplied the Armenians weapon long before the Ottoman Empire entered the war. This is the origin of the Armenian catastrophe.



The traditional method of Western propaganda: when white turns into black and vice versa. For example, in the West, the greatest and most effective Russian rulers, Ivan the Terrible and Stalin, have been turned into tyrants and villains. At the same time, propaganda has worked so well that even a part of Russian society believes in it.

Basically McMeekin didn’t come up with anything new. After the collapse of the USSR, history was already rewritten in the West. Russia is no longer considered the liberator of Europe. Moreover, in the Baltics, Ukraine, Georgia, Poland, the Czech Republic and many other countries, Russians are considered “occupiers” and “rapists”. Stalin was put on a par with Hitler, and communism with Nazism. The theory of the equal responsibility of Germany and the USSR in unleashing a world war has spread. Soviet soldiers-liberators were equated with the German occupiers and SS men. Moreover, in the wake of the “democratization” and liberalization of Russia in the 1990s, similar sentiments prevailed among Russian liberals and Westernizers.

Year after year, the postulates of the "criminal conspiracy" of Stalin and Hitler - the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, which allegedly began the Second World War, were approved. About the "Soviet occupation" of the Baltic States, Bessarabia and Western Belarus, and Ukraine. About Stalin's "criminal war" against Finland. How Hitler and Stalin "jointly" destroyed the Polish state, and much more. For each position, many articles, "scientific" papers and documentaries were published. They were approved in the "world" public opinion. Now this is a "truth" that is denied only in Russia and partly in Belarus. Although there are Westernizers or nationalists in Belarus who agree with this anti-Soviet and anti-Russian myth.

London and Washington nurtured Hitler


The fact that it was London and Washington that at one time nurtured and fostered Hitler, preparing him for a campaign to the East, is not told to the western man in the street. How Germany was helped to restore a powerful industry, the military-industrial complex, to create the Wehrmacht. What could not have been done without powerful financial injections, colossal economic, technical and resource assistance. Germany was allowed to break the Versailles agreements that contained it, to create full-fledged armed forces. That Hitler was given almost all of Europe. Austria and Czechoslovakia. England and France allowed the Reich to crush Poland - a "strange war". Britain slept through the occupation of Northern Europe. Then the masters of the West merged France.

Hitler and the Third Reich seemed to the West as an ideal anti-Soviet weapon. Until the very end of the war, the USA and England tried to avoid landing in Europe in order to strike the Reich. After all, the war between the Germans and the Russians was planned and went like clockwork. Millions of Russians were killed, German armies reached Leningrad, Moscow and the Volga. In the Far East, the Japanese Empire was to strike at Russia at any moment. The fiercest battles bled Russia and Germany. As a result, the Anglo-Saxons had to finish off the weakened winner, establish their own world order. The United States and England joined the ranks of irreconcilable fighters against Hitlerism only at the last stage of the war, when it became clear that the Russians had turned out again and became even stronger.

It is this truth about the war that Western falsifiers are trying to hide.

They take revenge on the pages of history textbooks, humiliate Russia and the Russians. They tarnish our heroic past. They are trying to make us Ivan, not remembering kinship, to hammer into Russians the idea of ​​their historical and civilizational "inferiority", of the need to be obedient to the will of the "developed, civilized and free world." Turn us into slaves of the Western order.

Therefore, the next step is now taken.

Russians are an absolute evil. Stalin is much worse than Hitler. Like, the Fuhrer and his henchmen were not so bad guys. They tried to protect Western Europe from the "Russian barbarians". In fact, this is a continuation of the theory of the revisionist writer V. Suvorov (Rezun), who suggested that Stalin was preparing a preventive war against Germany (The myth of Stalin's "preemptive war") and Hitler only got ahead of him, and thereby saved Europe from complete occupation by the Red Army and from its Sovietization.

The historical, informational basis for the assertion that Russia is an aggressor country is presented. At the same time, the Russians are aggressive at any period of their history: the Russian kingdom, the Russian Empire, the USSR and the Russian Federation. The Russians attacked Turkey, Sweden and Poland, started two world wars, the war in Afghanistan, invaded Ukraine and Syria, etc. Conclusions from the adoption of this theory can be made broad: from the fact that today's Russia (without repentance) cannot be a full member of the UN and the world community to the need to revise the borders of the Russian Federation. For example, the Russians should abandon Vyborg, Kaliningrad, the Kuriles, Crimea, the North Caucasus, etc. Pay compensation to the peoples affected by the "Soviet occupation". In particular, in the Baltics, in Poland, similar proposals have been put forward more than once.

Interestingly, in Germany itself, which was previously one of the strongholds that opposed revisionism, the process of rehabilitation of Nazism is also underway. For example, the German state channel ZDF launched a campaign under the hashtag #MeinNaziHintergrund (“My Nazi past”), urging young Germans not to hesitate to talk about their grandfathers and grandmothers who served in the NSDAP. The German generations who were ashamed of their past are gradually leaving. And sooner or later, quantity will turn into quality. Not surprisingly, Nazis are increasingly being found among the elite German troops.

The primary source of world wars is the predatory nature of capitalism


The First and Second World Wars were caused by the crisis of capitalism, the Western world, which is based on the constant expansion, development and plundering of someone else's energy, resources and space. When there are no new zones of “free hunting, for parasitism and robbery, there is a severe crisis. It is solved by organizing a big war. It will make it possible to destroy competitors, including those within the Western world, and to rob their wealth. Also, destroy the previous political system, states, infrastructure, in order to create a new order in place of the destroyed one.

Before World War I, the West was at such a dead end. Then the masters of England, France and the United States pitted the Russians and the Germans against each other (World War I - the treacherous war of Great Britain and the USA against Russia and Germany). As a result, the Germanic, Russian, Slavic (Balkans) and Islamic (Ottoman Empire) worlds were destroyed and plundered. The West, due to the inflow of gold, capital, raw materials, the seizure of foreign markets, crawled out of the crisis. The Anglo-Saxons crushed their main rival within Western civilization - Germany. However, Russia by some miracle was saved (the red project of the Bolsheviks).

Therefore, when a new stage of the crisis of capitalism began (the Great Depression), a new world massacre was organized. The Anglo-Saxons prepared, financed and armed the Hitler project (Who brought Hitler to power; Hitler was only a tool to crush the USSR). The simple-minded Germans were once again set against the Russians. Even earlier, fascist Italy was created in Europe as a future hotbed of war. In the Far East, the United States and England have long fostered militaristic Japan, directed against China and Russia.

In general, the Second World War had to solve several important tasks:

1. Destroy Soviet civilization as the main threat to the West. As an alternative vision of the future of humanity. As a society of knowledge, service and creation, which in the future completely buried the slave-owning model of the West. With the hands of Hitler, finally solve the “Russian question: destroy most of the Russian superethnos, enslave the rest, with the complete elimination of the spiritual, cultural, educational and scientific and technical potential of the Russians.

2. Defeat Germany, weakened after the war with the Russians: dismember and occupy. First, turn Europe into a battlefield, and after the war - into a completely dependent on the United States.

3. Defeat and subjugate Japan in the Asia-Pacific region.

4. Weaken the British Empire, ensure its transition to the position of a junior partner in the Anglo-Saxon tandem. Ensure the penetration of American capital into the British world.

      It’s very interesting for me to see how the history of literally the last century was perverted in the west. And already many representatives of young people are firmly convinced that the victims are in fact aggressors, that black is white, that what was fiction, and that fiction is considered true, etc.
      And this is about events that happened less than 100 years ago.
      And in this regard, thoughts arise, do sources inform us about the events of the 18th century, the 15th century, and even more so the 10th century, for example? I am very inclined to believe that at best 20% of the truth remains there. The era of Peter 1, the Tatar-Mongol yoke, the formation of Rurik ... How true are the events of those eras?

      The distortion of history will lead to the fact that once again, as has always been the case in history, Russian troops will find themselves in the capital of the attacking country and hoist the VICTORY Flag there. And this is at least, and at most a certain part of their territory will be in Russia. So it was under Napoleon, because Russian troops entered Paris, so it was under Hitler, because Russian troops entered Berlin. The only thing that saddens is the casualties from the Russian troops, but Russia has drones, calibers and other weapons that minimize losses.

      Churchill and Roosevelt were much more cunning than Sean McMeekin, they pitted Germany and the USSR

      Joseph Stalin, who signed a non-aggression pact with Germany, turned out to be more cunning than them. After that, Hitler, whom Chamberlain wanted to use "in the dark", turned to France a month before she, together with England, in a desire to push Hitler to the USSR, planned a large raid on the Azerbaijani oil fields, which would have bled our aviation and armored and other equipment for at least the whole summer. Hitler did not know this, and at the same time he did not trust France very much. And therefore he was afraid to turn his back on her. He assumed, and not unreasonably, that as soon as the Wehrmacht got bogged down in battles with the USSR, the Anglo-French coalition would hit him in a weak spot. The British, in principle, knew that if the agreement on security in Europe between France, Britain and the USSR was not signed, Stalin would sign an agreement with Germany. But they hoped that they could endlessly drag out the time during which Germany would start a war against Poland, and then, as if in one breath, the war would pass into the territory of the USSR. So that the war between Hitler and Poland did not break down, England once again reassured the Poles with a guarantee from its side. Stupid Beck did not realize that guarantees without a detailed military plan cost less than toilet paper, and therefore rested on his ambitions to the last. The war began strictly according to England's plan, but the Poles simply fell apart unexpectedly quickly. And Stalin jumped off the hook of the empty promises of the British and made an agreement with the Germans. It is because of this cunning move that the West hates Stalin. He "made" them like the last suckers. Despite the fact that he even contrived (well, such circumstances developed as a result of the M / R pact) that the British themselves came under Hitler's blow and miraculously survived (and in fact there even eggs were sold on ration cards laughing ). They will never forget this and will never forgive us.

          The USSR has been selling oil to Germany, among other countries, since 1929. Specifically for 1940:
          Germany bought oil in 1940 - 654 tons - from the USSR, 000 tons - from Romania, 1 - its own production with Austria. Plus, there were purchases in Spain, France, etc. As you can see, the USSR was not the main supplier of oil even during the trade agreement.

                        in 1944 Germany received 48 thousand tons of American oil and 1100 tons of tungsten a month through Franco's Spain. In addition to trading, Western companies owned hefty property in Germany: the size of American investments in Nazi Germany at the time of the events in Pearl Harbor amounted to approximately $ 475 million. Standard Oil's investment was estimated at $ 120 million; General Motors - $ 35 million; ITT - $ 30 million; Ford - $ 17,5 million.

                        But this nonsense is not yours, but Hayam's. In reality, the Germans received 3 thousand tons of tungsten from Spain in 42-44 years, and the whole supply of oil and oil products to Spain in 6 months 44 years - 100 thousand tons. At the pre-war level of Spanish consumption itself, 50 thousand tons per month. The Americans really didn’t like that Spanish tungsten was being fired at their tanks, and in 44 they badly pinched the caudillo testicles. Vinnie had to fit in, the complete blockade of Spain was not in British interests.

    Such books appear because we are silent! In Soviet times, many books were published about the war, about our contribution to the Victory. The history of the USSR was taught at school, then the time of anarchy came, and from the people they began to massively raise Ivanov, no kinship was remembered. So that time hung, no one needs anything, the authorities curry favor with the West, allowing them to rewrite history in their own way. Where are our historians? Where is our counterpropagating wave meeting, where are the claims for clevette, for falsifications? One REAL film about the last war without lies and beauty was created, and then with the money raised by the people "28 Panfilovs"! The rest are fairy tales about the war! Therefore, they write a lie that we ourselves, starting with the power of the country, allow us to distort history.

    Russia is no longer considered the liberator of Europe. Moreover, in the Baltics, Ukraine, Georgia, Poland, the Czech Republic and many other countries, Russians are considered "occupiers" and "rapists." Stalin was put on a par with Hitler, and communism with Nazism.

    We believe that beautiful, civilized Europe suffered under the yoke of Nazism, and supposedly now condemns it. And we believe that we should be ashamed in front of Europe for Stalin, for the Gulag and that this is the most terrible atrocity of mankind. Europe, however, never wanted to be liberated and denazified, and we believe that the greatest evil is Nazism, but Europe does not think so. And she doesn't care how many millions of our fathers, grandfathers and brothers died for her release.

    Gentlemen, we are discussing nonsense))) Any person who sighs about "oh, what a pity that Hiteler did not unite with the United States and Britain" is not particularly catching up - but in fact, against whom should this union be? Against the USSR, seriously?) The British Empire at that time had access to all the raw materials it was interested in and minimal problems with its production and transportation by sea - why would they get involved in this adventure? There is no benefit here. At that point in time, the United States generally adhered to isolationist tendencies - above and below them there was a sufficient "pantry of the sun" if they suddenly needed resources. And there would be much less problems.
    Do not overestimate the pre-war USSR - we had not yet had an oil and gas boom, the second five-year plan had just ended and food supply issues were far from ideal - the country was poor, militarized and damn vast with its difficult land relief, terrible climate and roads. Figuratively speaking, the countries of developed capitalism would have nothing to take except for a portion of hemorrhoids. Except Germany.
    By the way, Hitler began singing about bloodsuckers-plutocrats from the same time as he began to hate Jews and communists - bloodsuckers-plutocrats were also not particularly eager to get involved with him, especially since there were many in the financial and political environment of the USA / WB people of Jewish nationality, whom Adolf Aloizovich would not be doubly sympathetic to.
    But, suppose that such a "union" would have a hypothetical piece sweeter than the USSR - for example .. for example what? Post-Attaturk Turkey pressed to the nail? Iran in the Middle Ages? Colonial empires were already overwhelmed with logistics and the protection of their wealth - BB2 showed this very well. Britain no longer really needed to pull something away from these territories. The United States preferred economic or commercial enslavement to the prospect of keeping troops and fighting the rebels across the seas. Both those and others lived much better than pre-war Germany - much more satisfying and spacious. And their capital had room to grow. As the saying goes, a full hungry person does not understand. And then, what kind of union with the West could there be if the West and Western capitalists were called by Hitler the main stranglers of the Reich? Was it not their countries that sucked reparations from Germany and humiliated her?

        If there is even a microscopic rational grain in the views of Suvorov-Rezun, holding on to the postulates of hypermilitarization and the not particularly hidden original plans of the Bolsheviks, then there is nothing rational at all, Hitler's Germany could not be in the same bloc with Great Britain in principle, GG was already quite traditional for herself an enemy after the First World War, from which the victorious powers of that time squeezed out the already not very large colonies. They zagrebli for themselves, as they say, and if the Japanese could "chew" it, given their impractical range, then chewing the WB or France was not comme il faut at all. There is even nothing to discuss, I do not seriously understand, on the basis of what did the people write the book then?) There is really 0 factual material or prerequisites - well, yes, there were sympathies for Hitler and Nazism - both in the USA and in the World Bank, well, there are sympathies for Communism was, so, now there is sympathy for tolerance of all forms, then something else will be - there by nature, addicted people live. There are these hobbies, and there is a real politician - the division of money and influence - and here Adolf Aloizovich would have had a good deal, he would have chewed on some continental expansion - in the end, the World Bank considered (I suppose) part of the territories of the deceased Austria-Hungary as a kind of "unpleasant zone of influence", like the former Soviet republics in relation to modern Russia. And in this regard, yes, they could "chew" some Czechoslovakia or Austria, or even, perhaps, part of other territories of Austria-Hungary - because they understood that this was all a zone of strong German influence (potentially) and working against means spending resources for air. But outside the borders of some of the territories of AB, their perception of German ambitions ended - there were already British and French ambitions. Well, for Hitler, of course, this would not have been enough - he did not hide it. So there could be no question of any "alliance" - with Italy, but it worked out (unfortunately, rather), with Spain it could have worked out, with Turkey. Without a close post-war link between the World Bank and France - purely hypothetically it could surely add up to France. But definitely not with the United States and definitely not with Britain. They had their own vision of the architecture of the world and a mustachioed skinny corporal pushing incendiary speeches there would not be integrated in any way.

    This is not the first and not the last attempt by Russophobic historians to ascribe aggressive strivings to Stalin, with the aim of a world proletarian revolution. And this is a lie, because he defended the possibility of building socialism in one country. The USA and England were close to achieving their goals, but the USSR emerged from the war stronger, despite the colossal losses and damage. Hence the attempts to resolve the "Russian question" and the fear of losing everything.

    All this undoubtedly corresponds to THEIR logic - Hitler expressed the same ideas of racism, Eurocentrism and "civilization" that they themselves wore (albeit in a slightly different form). In fact, Hitler was himself a part of the West and had many supporters in all countries (at least until the height of the war from 1941).

    BUT the West could not unite with him in any way for the simple reason that Hitler is a dictator. And the West is a system of power of financial oligarchs under the guise of democracy. They cannot rule if the dictator seizes all power, it would be dangerous for them because the dictator could repress them by force with the help of the force apparatus (or like Mao Zedong through the Cultural Revolution).

    You will of course say that Hitler did not touch these circles at home - Krupp, Bosch, Quandt and others worked perfectly with his government. But I am sure that such a consensus was temporary. Sooner or later, the financial circles would come to a clash with the dictator, because the question would have arisen "who is in charge after all?" Both those and those were not ready to give up power. Therefore, a war was inevitable between Hitler and the "democratic" West. And it happened.

    Well, that is the greatness of Stalin, he made his enemies conditional friends. And Stalin's peacefulness in 1941 was calculated primarily on Roosevelt. Purely mathematically, the USSR would not have pulled a war with the whole world of capital. And the curtailment of the world revolution and the dissolution of the Comintern are all from this series. And as a result of the war, the West was forced to destroy its "Reich" project, and the British Empire was plucked in full - although they disguised themselves well (reformatted), because the monarch is still the head of the entire British Commonwealth. The British are not us, we did not destroy the country to its foundations ...

    Again, instead of real analysis of agitation. As all the scoundrels abruptly stirred up, everything was foreseen. And the fact that in 1940 -42 everything was hanging on snot? Did you figure this out too? Now everyone is strong in hindsight. Several if: 1. The USSR collapsed in 41, by the way, everyone in England and the United States was confident in just this option. After that, the Germans decide most of the issues of providing resources for the further conduct of the war. 2. The Germans in '41 are not rushing at full speed to Moscow, but stop at the positions of November? And in 42, having replenished the troops, in April they start a new company? 3. The Germans, having transferred several mobile units to the Middle East and carried out the brites from Egypt, break through to Iraq, Iran, etc. 4 is the USSR's way out of the war incredible? With today's knowledge - no, well, but in the reality of 42 years it no longer looks so incredible. 5. After the capture of the Middle East and the end of the carnage in the east, Britain begins to strangle. The smartest faces are usually with those who are going to do an enchanting stupidity or argue about how it should have been done. The USSR confused all the cards with the fact that it withstood a terrible onslaught in 41 and 42 years.

    The author takes a new step in the history of the falsification of the Second World War in the West: he directly reproaches the countries of the West for their wrong choice. Churchill and Roosevelt needed not to fight Hitler, but to unite with him and fight Stalin.
    The author, Sean McMeekin, is an eccentric with the letter "M" (as the hero of Shukshin said in "Kalina Krasnaya"). The West fed Hitler anyway, actually giving him Austria and Czechoslovakia, and, further, most of Europe, for the sake of creating an anti-USSR with the proper potential - the Third Reich.
    Further, the "strange war" on the one hand, and Hitler's order to stop the offensive for three days, on the other, which allowed the British troops to take their feet from Dunkirk (otherwise Britain would have remained in Europe without an army).

    Anglophile and protege of the West, Hitler, fulfilled his bloody order. "Sea Lion" was a screen, "Barbarossa" was the main task. The Anglo-Saxons raked up the heat with someone else's hands, letting the Germans "cannon fodder" against the main enemy of world capitalism - the USSR, earned colossal money in the world massacre, eventually gained world influence, becoming the sole leaders and masters of capitalism.
    England, and then the United States, is no stranger to fighting with someone else's hands, profiting from blood and world troubles.

    Apparently, the scandalous revisionist historian wanted to whitewash his masters, where the West allegedly had nothing in common with Hitler, and helped the USSR, not for the sake of money and for the Russians and Germans to "kill each other, as much as possible" (Harry Truman).

    Stalin's genius and luck - he managed to meet the war in the most advantageous strategic configuration. Let us be kicked for the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact, but it allowed us to fight only against Germany and in alliance with the whole world, and not against the whole world and Germany together ...
    .
    The desire in the West to rethink the situation in their favor is also understandable. But we also need to abandon our delusions. Globally, the war was between the United States and Great Britain. The states raised two of their fighting hamsters in Europe: Germany and the USSR. If France had not fallen under the Germans so quickly, then the attacks of the Anglo-French on Baku and our entry into the war on the side of Germany would have been quite probable.
    However, France fell under Hitler, England fell under the States. The goals of the war were achieved by amers. Accordingly, the continuation of the war in the western direction became impossible for Germany. The question arose about the utilization of Germany's surplus potential. And the Germans were set against us. With all the scale and horror of the war after 1941, this is only an exaggerated, but globally insignificant episode of the Second World War.
    As soon as we get rid of children's egocentric ideas about ourselves and our place in World War II, it will immediately become easier for us to fight off the accusations of the West. We didn’t start the war, we didn’t fan it. We are small people, the big uncles in London and Washington are to blame for everything. And we are just victims in their showdown. We fought back and matured during the war, we are honored for that. We showed heroism, defended our homeland. But we are just a victim of the war, not its cause!

    If the author believes that it was more profitable for Britain and the United States to support the USSR, then he is an ignoramus, a fool, or just an idiot. Because he does not understand at all what opportunities opened up before Hitlerorm after the defeat of the USSR.
    To begin with, three resource problems of the Reich would be solved. Oil, food, aluminum. The latter would radically change the situation in the skies over the English Channel. And a new "battle for Britain" would have ended in defeat for the "allies". Since having received the Soviet aviation industry, albeit imperfect and problematic, the Germans would have received an industrial aviation base not accessible to British strikes. And themselves, based on the coast, they could systematically carry out the British aviation industry step by step, object by object.
    In addition, having received the Nikolaev shipyards, Hitler received the closed water area of ​​the World Cup for the construction and concentration of the invasion fleet. Taking him out of the World Cup to the Atlantic would be a task, but solvable on condition that Gibraltar was returned to Spain.

    But Hitler had a way to turn the "Mistress of the Seas" into a tattered whore begging for alms without it. Having defeated the USSR, the Reich received access to the border with Turkey. And the Turks, and without this, were inclined to an alliance with the Germans. Only the Russians were afraid. And without the Russians, what are the problems?
    What is Turkey? Turkey is a land route to Syria, Iraq and Iran. Arabian Peninsula, Persian Gulf, Central Asia. No problem from the British Navy. And now we recall how Rommel drove the British across the desert in Italian tanks, and we estimate the fate of the British contingent in these places, provided that Rommel will have Tigers and Panthers, and Luftwaffe veterans in "thin" and "pieces" cover him from the air. But this is not the worst thing. The worst thing for Britain is Iran. Since Iran is Central Asia, and further on land is China. Or Afghanistan and Pakistan and where on land? Right to India. And again outside the control of the British fleet! How long would it take Germany to build a road through these countries? 5 years? 7 years? And the entire colossal military mechanism of the Wehrmacht either, having united with Japan, from the north through China, or directly through Afghanistan, kicks out the British ground troops from the key regions of the British Empire. And then let the British whine quietly on their islands. They can even tag across Canada and Australia. But without major resource regions, the British Empire simply does not exist. You say the fleet? And what about the fleet? I repeat, the German fleet is built in the Black Sea, controls the Mediterranean and goes through Gibraltar to the Atlantic.

    As for the United States, the author, as I understand it, even knows the history of his country only from comics, movies and cartoons.
    The main and fundamental problem of the United States in the 30s was the colonial system. Yes, that's it! And someone thought that the British administrative control over the markets of China and India brought the States every second joy? Nothing like this. The states had a vested interest in destroying the restrictive systems of the colonial world. They needed markets and raw materials. Therefore, "the United States and Britain" is like this, so that "brothers forever" are not in sight. If it weren't for Roosevelt personally, the state officials would not have been generous with Lend-Lease.
    But these are interests. And what threatened the States as a result of the defeat of the USSR? Nothing good. First, Japan's position would have changed dramatically. Oil from the USSR could go to China via the Transsib. Together with the products of the German military industry. And I would have looked like "heroic" US flyers would have bombed Tokyo.
    Secondly, having devoured Eurasia, the Reich would have surpassed the United States in terms of self-sufficiency. In addition to the resource base of Russia, the Balkans, Central Asia, the Persian Gulf, North China and Korea, Hitler would have at his disposal the industries of France, Italy, Germany, the USSR, and of other European misunderstandings such as Denmark, Norway and other Swedes.
    In such a situation, it was a matter of time to acquire an invasion fleet. And already the Statesmen would have received the "curse of two oceans" would have been forced to oppose one powerful enemy fleet with two of their own.
    Yes, the US had the Bomb. But even the B-29 would not have reached the territory of the Reich from the United States. And provided that the Germans had a decent radar power and a large number of fighters, the shtatovites would most likely have no chance of using it at all.
    Well, then everything could be sad. The invasion of the Germans would start from South America, there would be a territory for deployment. The US Navy, of course, would try to resist the process, but the Germans would not be inferior either qualitatively or quantitatively. And then gradually from south to north and the fate of the States is decided. Because now the Germans would destroy the infrastructure of the United States, being safe themselves.

      This is all true if we take the fall of 1940 as a starting point. But if England and France had not attacked Germany in 1939, they could well have remained neutral in the war against the USSR. So there would be no English channel.
      By and large, England and Germany had nothing to share. The Germans would have advanced inland, while Great Britain would remain with its overseas colonies.
      Yes, in the long term, this could lead to conflicts, but in the very distant future. Indeed, in order to digest the territory of the USSR, the Reich would have needed more than one decade. At the first stage, the Germans did not even plan to develop such vast territories, they were satisfied even with the territory that did not reach the Urals

        How would they not have declared war on Germany in 1939? They were also bound by binding treaties with Poland. If they had not done this, a queue would have lined up for Hitler from all sorts of European countries and countries on questions of a military alliance or even joining the Reich. And on condition of the conclusion of the PMR, this would create a situation "all against France." A and F did everything so as not to fight the Germans over Poland. But it was impossible to do nothing at all.

    First, McMeekin is not a historian. At the very least, if he claims that someone "should" do something, this is not the position of a professional historian.
    Second, McMeekin (if he really claims what he claims) does not understand the history of World War II. In purely economic terms, Germany in the 1930s was the strongest European power. Any alliance with England and France was impossible, since in such cases England and France found themselves in the position of "junior allies" in relation to Germany.
    Thirdly, it is time to forget that "Britain and France raised Hitler to send him to the East." Outright nonsense, long ago refuted in historical science. Britain and France made concessions to Hitler only because they themselves were economically weaker every year (can be compared with the modern United States). Moreover, Britain and France used Hitler's Germany to fight each other (Eastern Europe after Versailles became the "sphere of influence" of France).

      Open the text of the Munich Treaty. This is an allied agreement that provides for any joint action (there is no exception to joint military operations)
      As for the economic weakness of Great Britain and France ... The thesis does not stand up to scrutiny. Only after gaining control over almost the entire territory of western and central Europe, Germany was able to compete with Great Britain. But this could not have happened before, until 1938. When Western powers could easily leave Germany without resources. Including without the Soviet.

    The West could not side with Hitler. World War II is a proxy war between the United States and Britain. It ended with England's veiled surrender in 1940.
    The States' combat hamster (Germany) could not attack the second combat hamster (USSR). If the Anglo-French turned out to be more confident, then a military alliance between the USSR and Germany would have been likely. Especially after the planned British-French bombing of Baku.
    Everything that follows in geopolitical terms is just an exaggerated appendix of war: the annihilation of Germany's excess power, the proxy war of the States against a geopolitical rival by the hands of Stalin and Churchill. Well, there was no one to eliminate Stalin. The USSR lived to see the Judas-Gorbachev.
    .
    Therefore, dreams of a general war against the USSR are groundless.
    .
    This scheme, the most effective for the US, became possible only thanks to the genius of Stalin, who already slipped between the dangers of those years. Well, English arrogance played a role: the Britts did not attack their cousins ​​in the early 30s, when there was a chance to win.
    .
    Moral of the whole story: one shouldn't lisp with geopolitical competitors. They must be squeezed as long as possible and their revival should not be allowed.

    "In general, the Second World War had to solve several important tasks: ..." All 4 points of this would be unrealistic. Especially numbers 1 and 2. If with overseas help all of Europe and the USSR were under Hitler, then the next target would be themselves, and the combined forces of the 3rd Reich together with the former USSR. even without the help of small European mongrels, this transatlantic world abscess could easily have been wiped off the face of the earth, especially after they had acquired nuclear weapons no later than the summer of 45. And then 99% of the overseas oligarchs would simply turn to dust in the furnaces of the crematoria. Damned capitalism would have survived, but for the state it would have increased dramatically, and there would have been a radical change in owners - neither Abramovich, nor Khodorkovsky, nor Berezovsky, nor Gusinsky, nor ... would ever become oligarchs.

    McMeekin is fundamentally wrong. The question should be posed in a completely different way: why did the Western countries betray Hitler? After all, he was their boyfriend for them. Neither racial doctrine, nor anti-Semitism, nor colonial ambitions, nor pathological Russophobia and anti-Sovietism were invented by the Nazis. Everything was borrowed from the USA and Western Europe. In Munich, Italy, Germany, Great Britain and France entered into an alliance agreement on the division of the third party.
    Poland is solely to blame for the fact that England and France suddenly kicked up. As soon as the Poles went to the creation of the Baltic corridor (I am sure that Hitler would have cut off a piece of the Belorussian and Ukrainian SSR "for excitement"), and everything would have turned out completely differently. England and France would not have unleashed World War (formally, it was they who started it by attacking Germany), and there, you see, they would have supplied the Wehrmacht with fuel and minerals, and most likely with volunteers for the eastern front. The Poles would have fought against the USSR (the army of Craiova, in fact, was already doing this, headed by the London government).
