  1. It wasn't a stupid idea. Somewhere in the Pentagon there exists a contingency plan even now. BTW, Canada, as a polity was launched by the losers of America's FIRST civil war -- they shipped out of New York last. The English re-settled their Tories up in Ontario. Many locals were so disgusted that they fled from north of Maine (Massachusetts back then) to land in Louisiana -- calling themselves Cajuns. Yes, America has had two civil wars -- the first is widely known as the Revolutionary War -- but it was mostly a civil war. The British just couldn't really land a true army in the Colonies in the age of sail. An expeditionary force would have to do. Back then, a mere regiment was termed an army. The 1861-65 blood-bath was actually American Civil War 2.0.

  2. Stalin was negotiating with the Poles as late as July 1939 -- proposing that his armies be given a free corridor straight through Poland so as to attack the Nazis in conjunction with Poland and France. Britain was figured by Stalin to be a non-factor on the ground. Warsaw, amazingly, didn't trust Stalin. Go figure. So, Stalin double-crossed his erstwhile allies and launched WWII in Europe. Yeltsin's late 90s presentation to the world's press made it crystal clear that STALIN, not Hitler, launched WWII by way of the anti-Western Pact. Hitler always wanted a prompt war, see Munich, but was totally frustrated by both Goering (Munich again) and strategic realities (Oil, nickel, rubber, ... the list is long) The Soviet theory -- soon proven catastrophically wrong -- was that the Reds could 'aim' Adolf against the West and after a huge blood-letting the Reds could/would come in the back-door... reaching all the way to the Atlantic. Virtually to a man, Western experts are still stuck on the idea that Adolf started the war. BTW, the negotiated deal was for BOTH the Nazis and the Bolsheviks to invade 9-1-39. That was put in writing. 'Clever' Stalin delayed his entry until the onus totally fell upon Hitler. This entirely fake fumbling was to result in Barbarossa. One should note that MORE nations were invaded by the Reds as a result of the pact than by the Nazis -- right up until 5-10-1940. (Finland, Romania, the Baltics, Poland -- even a touch of Slovakia was taken when the. Nazis invaded from the west. ( The passes through the eastern mountains) As for the Pact: Stalin had the original -- it was drafted in Moscow -- and Hitler merely got a 'carbon copy.' (!) It was the original that Yeltsin presented to the world. The Press was gobsmacked. Allied war propaganda was proven to be totally wrong. The West became allied with the initiator of the conflict -- the fellow that gasolined the French air force out of the sky. Yes, the crazy high number of sorties over the Meuse were ONLY possible because of Soviet crude oil. Paris never planned on that. Poland's aggressive policy consisted of not trusting Stalin. Oh, my!
