Ah but like a gambler on a roll, neither Hirohito nor Adolph knew how to "quit while they were ahead"! Between them they could've dismantled the British Empire and keep Russia and the U.S. out of it, but they couldn't help themselves. Germany still might have wriggled out of it's eventual destruction had they simply not declared war on the United States and foolishly invade Russia. Begging for a two front war is the definition of insanity!
Worf
That is one of the decisions Hitler made that convinced me how insane he was. He had it all - Continental Europe (and, in time, the UK) if he had just left Russia alone (and not needless declared war on the US). And once he had locked down Continental Europe and the UK, he could have taken the USSR whenever he wanted in a one-front romp.
