Sooo many things wrong, here.

Japan attacks anyone else, the US will get involved. The Philippines, fyi, are right between Japan and any targets to the south, and must be dealt with first. And, fyi, the US was in more or less a shooting war with Germany by that time anyway - open war was months away.

Nazis attack Soviets, they lose. Can't debate that. And of they tried that, France is at war with them - it would make a two-front war look easy. Try it, and French crush them.

Argentina, weak and easy. Brazil alone would walk all over them, and they couldn't land troops on the Falklands - and they knew it. Nor did they have "close ties" at all anyway.

Impossible to take Gibraltar, and Spain is never going to join the Axis. Nor is a few more divisions on the eastern front going to make any difference whatsoever.

What troops? Japan didn't have any more. Even a loss there only delays the inevitable by a few months.
