Well aside from breath a collective sigh of relief...what would Britain/France do if the Nazis and Soviets got into a full blown war in the period 1937-39? This scenario also entails there being no D.O.W by France/Britain prior to war breaking between Germany and the Soviet Union.

Do Britain/France sit out the conflict and simply step up defence and war prep production?
What would the reaction be if the Axis or the Soviets start making large gains?
How does Japan/Italy/Poland react?
Who would have an edge-Axis or Soviets at this point?
What effect would it have on the ongoing civil war in Spain?

In terms of PODs its pretty tough but perhaps some dispute over Romania. Perhaps a more paranoid Stalin and an earlier Soviet attempt to annex Bessarabia with the Romanians actually resisting. It escalates into a full blown Soviet invasion which draws in Germany and things go from there...
