It's pretty interesting to compare the population density of North America and Asia (same zoom).

The winning move for Germany, of course, would have been to leverage trade and industrialization to become the economic powerhouse at the center of a Europe at peace.
Which was also the winning move in 1914, alas, not taken then either.

So Hitler's position in 1940/1941 is not a good position ruined by foolish decisions, but in fact a deceptively weak position that is almost certainly doomed, leading to insane gambles that only make it worse.
The catastrophic mistake was having a war, a result of the worse mistake of being a Nazi.

In practice, Hitler had left himself three options:
1) Hold pat on his gains and become a wholly owned subsidiary of the USSR.
2) Go all-in on U-Boats to push Britain out of the war, end up buried under a tide of American steel.
3) Go all-in against USSR, end up buried in a tide of Russians.

The basic calculus wasn't fatal instantly, but it had to be fatal *eventually* the question was simply how.
His only lever to end the blockade was a U-Boat campaign, something that would very obviously eventually bring the USA into the war, as it had in 1917 and was doing again in '40 and '41.

As Tooze's Wages of Destruction notes, breaking from global commerce left Germany extremely reliant on imports from the USSR and the Soviets understandably set the terms of the bargain to favor them - if your customer chains himself to your store, you may charge him whatever you like.

Going to war with Britain had meant severing Germany from basically all global commerce except on land via the USSR.
Bombing London functionally guaranteed that British resistance would be implacable and Hitler had functionally zero chance of breaking the British blockade any time soon.

I actually would disagree with this take - though he might not have known it, Hitler has essentially set the conditions to make eventual defeat and regime extinction very likely (and so his great power position very poor) by November 1940 at the latest, even with the success of Fall Gelb/Rot.
From a great power diplomacy perspective, Hitler had a good run until the twin idiocies of invading the Soviet Union and declaring on the US.
His luck might have run out with the invasion of Poland if the invasion of France hadn’t worked. However, he did have a de facto alliance with the Reds.

In defense of my discipline, we do not, in fact, all agree to that.
Indeed, the general view from a military perspective is that the Wehrmacht succeeded (to the degree it did) substantially despite Hitler. I'm not sure many serious historians of any field would label him a 'genius.'

Admittedly I'm not a journalist and I know suggestions get lobbed from the peanut gallery all the time, but I would love to see politicians, including Democratic politicians, directly asked this question in large numbers. I feel like that would be a very newsworthy story to share their responses.
It's amazing how many corporations -- much less private individuals -- still believe they need to stay active on the white nationalist forum and CSAM generator.
Sure, you may have succeeded in blocking yourself from seeing these things there, but all of us still see you there alongside those things

Modernism gets a bad reputation and it's possible to take it too far, certainly, but one of the things it gets right is that certain things are not contingent. CAR T-cell therapy works regardless of where you are from and what traditions you hold to. Human rights are the same way.

I've nearly been run over twice, both times when I had legal right of way. One time the driver was an old person who probably needed an uncomfortable conversation with their kids. The other time, it was the most vacuous-looking idiot I've ever seen, and my younger sister was nearly run over too.
