If you think there is any chance that Stalin would have honored any agreement with Hitler, then you know nothing about Stalin. Stalin and Hitler both had similar motivations... to delay the inevitable war between each other under the guise of a peace agreement. Hitler pulled the trigger first once it was clear Stalin was certain Hitler didn't have the balls and the Soviet Union was thoroughly unprepared to deflect a blitzkrieg from German forces. Stalin had been warned repeatedly by his own intelligence that the Nazi's were going to attack and he refused to believe it.
... a guy who had no qualms about murdering 10s of millions of HIS OWN people certainly wasn't prepared to share power or subjugate himself to the a guy bent on world domination for the long term.
