Seriously, folks, other than Hitler being astride the route to India and Indochina, tell me what interest Britain and France would have in declaring war on Germany because Germany invaded Poland to go after the Bolsheviks?

British colonial imperialism, French colonial imperialism, and fuckin' Churchill lying in wait to have another war.

It's not that complex, he caused the first war, and it was an utter catastrophe which destroyed his reputation, so he wanted a do over.
Your timelines are utterly fucked. Churchill was an out of power crank all during the 30's warning about Hitler with no one listening. Germany wasn't invading the USSR in Sept 1939, that was another 9 months later. Hitler had the Molotov-Ribbentrop peace pact, the Nazis and the USSR split their victim Poland like a couple of muggers. Churchill didn't return to government as 1st lord of Admiralty till 9/3/39, the day the UK declared war. Thus he was hardly the cause of the UK declaring war.

Churchill's father had business interests with the Rothschild family in Africa. Churchill was a stinky jewish lackey that couldn't stay sober enough to air his own speeches. He hired actors to broadcast them.

The actors reading his speeches was a security measure. It enabled him to travel in secret while appearing to be in London making a broadcast.
For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

I think all four leaders did that shit. There were these weird intelligence games going on. British ran Allied intelligence, Germans were obviously their own thing, and Stalin was just a sneaky rat bastard.

People are so mystified by Stalin's reaction to Hitler invading. Stalin was working with the US and England to make sure they did. He liquidated entire officer classes to keep them quite. He didn't want to be prepared for the German offensive. He wanted it to happen exactly like it did and he worked with higher powers the entire time all the way to the nuclear bomb.

When Americans touched down in Russia to supply them with equipment they were frequently surprised to learn from the Russians there was a top secret city called Los Alamos where a new kind of bomb was being built.

I think FDR, Churchill, and Stalin are very possibly burning in Hell right now. They were all bad.

Well, isn't that nice and simple? If only life was actually that simple. Some people really are more bad than others, Stalin & Hitler were exponentially worse than any argument you can possibly make against FDR and Churchill. All 4 were egotists and cynical manipulators, but only the former were dictators and mass executioners of their own people.

I think you vastly underestimate Churchill's role in making two God damned world wars happen.

He was actually a real piece of shit. He and FDR were conspiring in secret for years about how to get Americans into that war.

And Churchill was no friend to your people either.
