Sorry guys, once again, stay within the original thread, China and Japan have signed a peace treaty, America lifts sanctions so Japan can freely buy imports, like rubber, metals, oil from South-East Asia (America will sell to anyone), plus those divisions that served in South-East Asia, Pacific and China would be serving against the Soviets, that is 107 divisions the Soviets would be facing approximately 3 to 4 million men, plus the entire Japanese Navy and Army and Navy air forces, if this does not tie down the Soviet Far Eastern Front then i dont know what would, so no transference of men east by the Soviets, as the Central Asia, Ural, Transbaikal, and Far Eastern Fronts would be diverted to the Japanese offensive.

Another part of the senario that is ignored and that Nationalist China signs the Anti-Commintern Pact with Japan, meaning Nationalist China would effectively fight Mao's Communist forces.

Also none of you have answered this NO AMERICAN involvement in Europe, so Operation Torch, Overlord or USAAF bomber offensive, can Britain on her own launch these two operations alone. And can the Soviet Union survive without allied help on a two front war.
