Topic: Could USA defeat USSR before the WW2 begun??

Well, I'd have to disagree since the proposed conflict is supposed to occur before WW2. Japan and Germany wouldn't be fighting the USSR because the proposed conflict starts and finishes before WW2 (ie before war between the USSR vs Germany + Japan begins).

Still, it brings us back to one of the major reason that this hypothetical conflict was so incredibly unlikely. The USSR had more important threats and other things happening directly on their borders. They'd never have bothered trying to launch a risky invasion across the Bering Strait. The USA was determinedly Isolationist in its foreign policy. If it didn't involve their mini Empire, they wouldn't have cared.
