Let's say that Britain and France don't go to war over Poland but instead attack the Soviet Union due to the Finnish War. The British and French go through with Operation Pike, however, because they expect the Germans to attack France on their own and want to deprive the Germans of resources.

Instead, the Germans ignore Britain and France and attack the Soviets who are now deprived of oil. Britain and France meanwhile are happy to sit back and watch as the Germans and Soviets clobber each other.

How would such a war play out?
