What if the UK and France stayed neutral in 1939 and then,when Hitler invaded Russia, sold weapons to both sides and kept them fighting until the USA invented nuclear weapons? That way in the best case senario both dictatorships are left too tired to threaten the West.
 
How are you gonna do that, WWII started because of Poland, perhaps if the Soviets attack Poland instead of dividing it with Germany, but Stalin was for to careful for that.
The most likely senario I can think of is that the UK and France act much like OTL Spain become(, perhaps becoming facist in the 30's), because of the lack of support and fear of a Soviet invasion they give the Nazi's some land in return for a militairy support.
I don't think Stalin would have attacked, but let's just say he underestimes the power of the German militairy and attacks. Voila
The thing is America wouldn't invent nuclear weapons, why would they, I'll place my bet on the Germans.
 
I can't see that happening and why assume the USA will invent the nuclear weapon? By this point they don't have the most advanced nuclear pogram.
And if they stay isolationist there would be little motivation to develop them.
And Germany won't let the french and the brits rearming like crazy etheir. Together they would overshadow Germany industrial capacity in the long run both countries have access to more raws materials as well.
