IOTL, during WW2, before Germany attacked the Soviet Union, France and Britain contemplated on attacking Soviet oil fields in Baku from their air bases in Syria and Lebanon because the Soviets were exporting oil from there to Germany, feeding its war machine and making the Allied blockade less damaging. What if they actually carried out the attack? Would Soviet Union join the Axis? If so, how would that change the outcome of WW2? Thanks.
