Then how do things stand? It opens up a number of interesting possibilities.

The defeat of Russia is now almost a certainty. Europe is pretty much left with a dominant Germany. The fun comes in the Pacific. The US had been badgering Japan for a while. What happens now though? With Britain neutral and nominally in the Germans camp, the US strategic position looks bleak indeed. Even with rapid militarization, could the US fight off the Japanese and Germans, while having to consider the possibility of the British becoming hostile? Or would be forced to climb down from its antagonistic Japanese policies?

That an easy one I guess. The alliance between Japan and Germany was not very close. 1st it was against ths USSR. 2nd every side hoped that this alliance would prevent an attack of the US. Hitler would not have done anything to help the Japanese. He might even helped the British to protect their colonies. One reason that he didn't want to invade the UK was that he didn't want that the Japonese get their colonies.
