The Russians would have attacked them and they would have lost. If Stalin was willing to take over eastern Europe at such great cost as he had to pay, don't you think he would have picked it up for free if he could?
It doesn't matter anyway because Hitler's primary goal was the defeat of Russia and his secondary aim was revenge on the French and if necessary the British for the humility they suffered in World War I and under the Treaty of Versailles. No matter what, his battle plan ended up to lash out in all directions until his lines were thin and weak, at which point they would be consumed and die. He had no concept of strategy, only of tactics. Limited, attainable victory was not on his menu. Had it been, there were many opportunities to present a fait accompli, stop the fighting and declare peace.
Of couse, he would have defined peace as a short period of preparation for the next stage. But such measured use of force was beyond his ability or comprehension. Force which cannot be restrained is useless. The power of force comes from its disciplined and restrained use.
