Maybe. But Britain must have the same intel Germany has, that by 1920 Russia will be too powerful to take on. That's fine for an ally. But if I'd just fought a war with Russia, I'd make sure the next one they fought ended with them limping back to St. Petersburg with their tails between their legs.They need to stop Hochseeflotte from its rapid expansion, I suppose. Ergo they must fought the Kaizer sooner than later.
