(I know this is *slightly* ASB, but as it does not involve the intervention of aliens or magic spirits, I figured I'd post it here.)

The day after Germany invaded the Soviet Union in 1941, then-Senator Truman said, "If we see that Germany is winning we ought to help Russia, and if we see that Russia is winning we ought to help Germany, and that way let them kill as many as possible." The obvious idea was that since both fascism and communism were dangerous enemies of the United States, the best interest of the United States would have been to let them destroy each other.

Suspend disbelief for a moment and speculate as to what form such a policy might have taken and how it might have unfolded.
