If the Japanese had invaded the USSR at the same time as Germany, then the Axis probably would've won WW2
I have now told you something
I hope for your own sake you don’t believe this nonsense.

Since ranting about this is technically not off topic since I’m telling people stuff I‘ll do it quickly.
-Japan was a naval power their army was always underfunded with the budget being sent to the navy.
-The Ussr was the largest country in the world, but more than half of it is forests, and tundra.
-The majority of the USSR’s factories and infrastructure is located west of Moscow where the Germans attacked.
-Japan will have to march their tiny army who’s whole combat doctrine has been made for fighting in jungles and islands across from Siberia and Manchuria up to eastern Europe.
- There are hardly any roads only train tracks. The Russians in Manchuria can just destroy the trains, or leave on them. Japanese railway trains use a different gauge rail and cannot be shipped over without heavy modification.

Don’t take everything in Hearts of Iron so literally

It would've helped the Germans since the Soviets wouldn't have been send first-rate Siberian divisions to Moscow. Though I will concede that my knowledge of the Japanese army is subpar, so let's not turn this into a full-blown argument.
