Basically agree, but WWII might have turned out differently for the soviets.  Although they and japan were on opposite sides of the war, they didn't attack each other (till the end) even though they are right next to each other.  Reason?  The japanese had their hands full fighting the americans, their only significant opponent.  The US fought all over the globe dealing with a two-front war.  The soviets were fighting on one front and on their own territory.
