Perhaps, but since the basic premise of the OP is so farfetched as to render it academic. The only way the guarantee to Poland isn't issued is if there is no Munich Agreement and the. Germans don't march into Prague. It should be remembered that Hitler didn't expect the Munich negotiations to...

Sorry but you are wrong here, reclaiming Alsace-Lorraine and destroying the French army were prerequisites for turning east, the intent to reclaim Alsace-Lorraine was right there in Mein Kampf. The idea that Hitler thought the French and British would stay neutral is a myth, he knew full well...

There have certainly been suggestions that the CIA turned a blind eye to drug running to prop up the likes of the Contras but its been wildly exaggerated in the years since.

There was no alliance in 1939 and all that really united the British and the French was the security guarantee to Poland. Once Germany invaded Poland a declaration by those countries was inevitable. The war started because Hitler wanted a war, and kept pushing until he got one.

To what possible end? Stalin generally acted from cold strategic calculation when it came to foreign policy.

Ignoring the distinctly unlikely scenario Churchill will still lose the election because the Labour manifesto aligns with what the majority of the British people wanted and the Conservatives just couldn't offer a similarly radical agenda. The new PM would still be Attlee.

I am assuming someone in the State Department spent a miserable few months in Spain at some point?

The Germans can invade Spain successfully, but it will create serious problems. Firstly Vichy is technically neutral, letting the Germans deploy forces to attack Spain will cause serious internal problems in France, possibly leading to the execution of Case Anton and depending on the timing that...

I am working on a new WW2 TL, which I like to think as the mother of all Alliedwanks :)

Actually I selected all markets. Here's the link for the USA: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CYSVSBKY

Okay so after several delays owing to work, illness and just prevaricating in case Sea Lion Press did stir themselves to answer the first volume of the TL is up on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0CYSVSBKY

Of course they can, its just that the scenario proposed by the OP is more than a little unrealistic and they have consistently refused to offer their views on what would happen if Labour did win the 1918 election.

No it wasn't a fluke, it was a result of the Germans having limited resources. Also both those flying boats were operated by the Luftwaffe. I also question whether air launched German torpedoes will function better than those carried by ships and U-Boats.

But there in lies the question, why were the Americans willing to offer unsecured loans? There seems to a be a presumption that the Americans in WW1 didn't really care who won the war and yet this is clearly not the case. Prewar all the outstanding issues with the British had been settled and...

Except they can't just seize collateral, you once again seem to be putting forth a very odd view of how the war was conducted, and the economic situation of the combatants.
