This was the mistake. Invasion to the USSR was the mistake, leaving Britain behind unpunished and just enraged by bombings was the mistake. Both countries should've worked closely together, like Allies did after the real war started.

We vould've lived in a wholly different world now, probably much better for the most than it is.
