The one that is the most threatening. USSR could not threaten France or the UK directly. The Allies also knew it was only a matter of time before Germany and USSR went to war.

If I'd say that CCCP is short for Svaz Sovetskych Socialistickych Republik,
that would just further daze and confuse you.

Germany had a long history of talking and then invading. After so many lies you have to act. Russia was a surprise but Germany was the only real threat. To attack Russia would be impossible anyway. To declare war on Russia would have been insane. They were barely prepared to fight Germany.
The only chance they had was to invade Germany at the very start of the war, which they were mentally, politically and physically not capable of. After France quickly fell all Britain could do is hang on and hope Germany would do something amazingly stupid.
The best way to lose a war is to fight it too long. The only way to win a war is smash the other side, grab as much loot as possible and leave. You should always fight a war on the other sides land. You should never start another war before ending the one you are in. This is a lesson lost on our current government.
You cannot be both feared and loved so it is better to be feared. The key is to keep from being hated.

Well, this is an English speaking board, so USSR is much more familiar to most of us, hence the confusion with SSSR.
I don't think Roosevelt or Churchill was very fond of Stalin, but they worked together because Hitler was the common threat, and a much more serious one, seeing as how the German Army pretty much curbstomped any country they went up against, including relative powerhouse (at the time) France. And the British just barely managed to stay afloat to weather the Battle of Britain.
I wonder what would've happened had Germany not of been at war with Russia when the D-Day landings took place, or worse yet, won in the Eastern Front. Eisenhower's infamous "failed to secure beachhead" letter probably would've been published, and we'd probably have a Cold War with Nazi Germany instead of the Soviet Union (and Hitler made it pretty clear anyone not of the "superior" race would've been at best, enslaved, or just be killed off). What a vastly different world that would've been...

Weren't commies much bigger threat for "american way of life" before WW2?
Also, we're speaking about attack on Poland, time when Hitler didn't attack anyone yet,
but, you guess it, Poland. And he did it together with Stalin, yet, noone
declared war to Stalin

Yeah, the West wasn't a very big fan of Communist Russia, considering all the bad things happening there. But it's probably a status quo thing where they didn't want to get involved with a war with Russia.

Imagine casualties that USA and Britain wouldve experienced if they didnt have millions of soviet zerglings to use as cannon fodder?

I believe original thought was that there already was one superpower setting western Europe on fire so why pick a fight with another one that necessarily wouldn't make a move against western parts.
and Both USA and Britain did act against Soviets during that time. During Finnish winter war both Britain and USA gave Finland material support
