Germany had by then realised it faced 35,000 tanks and all the fuel they required.... They declared war on the USA!!!! Afterwards, the got the Marshall plan.
USA rescued Europe from complete Soviet domination.
Just rememeber who encouraged Germany to rearm. Germany attacked the USSR. Not the other way around.
BTW, did the photographies show one of the NKVD officers, ready to shoot any of their own soldiers hesitating to "die heroically for his country" ?
As for the comment about amassing troops near Germany-USSR border: Stalin knew Hitler would betray him by attacking, so was preparing for it (maybe Stalin was even aiming for preemptive strike, but a counter-strike is more likely, in any way he wasn't ready), but Hitler attacked earlier than anticipated, and the Soviets had their butts kicked by Germans. The first real roadblock was Moscow, when Hitler was forced to order defence for the first time in this operation - it was one or two days before Pearl Harbor.
I think this could be reason the Japanese faction willing to attack USA (and not USSR) prevailed - they remembered their loss in August 1939 against USSR, and thought that Germans are losing their steam, so it's not worth joining them actively. The Japanese continued diplomatic relations with governments in exile of some countries invaded by Germans (like Poland) so it's clear they weren't 100% sure the Germans will win their war. Still, they overcalculated.
Soviet wouldn't be able to completely dominate Europe in any possible set of circumstances. They struggled against Germany which was fighting on multiple fronts, and were not attacked by the most dangerous Germany ally. They needed help from other countries. How could possibly they dominate Europe? This is a myth, which is still used today, but Russia is inserted in place of USSR, for propaganda purposes. Now, Stalin himself maybe had his dreams, but he was a psychopath, and they are always too optimistic.
And the only reason the were able to dominate part of Europe were agreements with USA, UK, and nominally with France. Basically part of Europe was sold to them by these countries (mostly USA, because UK was already subservient to the US, and France was for looks).
