What if, instead of a mere border clash, Japan goes for an all out war with the USSR in 1939?
I think FDR would have a hard time embargoing Japan because the USA hated the USSR and would have loved for this to happen. No Pearl harbor in this time line, no US involvement in WWII.
Also, with the USSR fighting in the Far East, wouldn't Hitler want to attack from the west as soon as possible? If Japan can hang on for 2 years, the USSR will be toast.
