It's scary how many spies were in high levels of the FDR administration, including one that accompanied FDR to the Yalta Conference. How would Eastern Europe have turned out? Would Japan have committed the attack on Pearl Harbor? Would USA have entered the war directly?

You know you're going to get crucified on this thread?

Pearl Harbor would have happened, the Japanese weren't really collaborating with Germany and had a separate agenda. The US would have entered the War at some point, Hitler was one of those guys who just couldn't help himself.

The spies didn't run the war. Even FDR's cabinet never knew for certain exactly what he was thinking and they had full access to him.

So the thread could have been as easily named "Thoughts on how WW2 could have ended up if FDR didn't have so many Jews on his staff?" or "Thoughts on how WW2 could have ended up if FDR didn't have so many Republicans on his staff?"
