They probably would have been too ineffective to do significant damage

Wasn't the Germans getting oil from Russia at that point?

I'm more curious about the effect this has on the West's relationship with the U.S.S.R.

So you're asking if the attack would have solidified the non-aggression pact?

I would assume if anything it'd just be more incentive for Hitler to break it. Either a further weakened enemy after a successful attack or further surety that it wouldnt develop into war on two fronts.

Not good.

It would give him every reason to keep it. Stalin would probably extend the loans favorably, because he now has even more reason to enjoy watching the Germans fuck up Britain.

Germany has no need to further diplomatically isolate the British, or the Soviets, since they're doing a great fucking job on both fronts.
