Not as big a deal as you think it is. Russia on the Offensive, especially at this time, would have been pretty easy to deal with. They're outside their winter, they don't have the infrastructure to transport troops across Europe- honestly, Germany was as far as they were going to get. In the end, throwing men into the enemy guns till they run out of bullets ain't a smart idea.

Plus, USSR + Nazi Germany + Fascist Italy + Imperialist Japan?

Sounds strong, right? Except that little Axis of Evil would have been pissing themselves, cause once you have all the enemies of democracy lined up in a row...

The US IS going in, no matter what.

Also, infighting. Apart from Germany and Italy, all those powers distrusted each other. In the case of Germany and Russia, they flat out hated each other. That alliance ends the second one of them lets their guard down a bit too much.
