Yep, I intentionally used a double-negative, the term "least unlikely", because, unlike many AH'ers, I acknowledge that the USSR and Stalin maybe did not have some compulsion to start a war with *anyone*, much less a major power internationally.

But assuming that Stalin *is* going to be interested in starting a war with a major power, or is interested in engaging a high-stakes aggressive policy in the general direction of another major power that he knows brings a high risk of war, who would be most most and least likely to pick a fight with:

a) Germany
b) Japan
c) Italy
d) France
e) Britain
f) United States
g) China
