Krainer's thesis is that the UK was acting out its three-bloc concept by trying to use Hitler to smash the USSR. This would allow the Anglosphere to dominate natural resources and infrastructure all over the world and extend the viability of the empire.

It has the virtue of making Chamberlain less foolish and naive and it would look very similar to seeking preventing of a German-USSR alliance.

England was trying to re-arm and felt it was not ready for war yet.

It’s amazing after WW1 how the US demilitarized itself. My guess was England did something similar.
