If Hitler hadn't broken his pact with Stalin, the very best outcome of the war in Europe would have been a stalemate

Funny you bring that subject up...

Maybe if Stalin had allied with France and Britain in opposing the Nazi invasion of Poland, instead of conspiring with Hitler to carve the poor country up between them, there WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN a WWII in the first place.

Stalin's non-aggression pact with Nazi Germany was a DIRECT CONTRIBUTOR to the blood bath that was unleashed upon the world. Including the 15,000 Polish officers who were imprisoned, and after failed attempts to "re-educate" them, were massacred and buried in mass graves in the Katyn Forest, and elsewhere in the Soviet Union.

So what was that you were saying about Russia's critical role in fighting Nazi Germany??

In a way, it reminds me of Russia and France's attempt to engage in their own form of "non-aggression" pact with Iraq.
