This has been said a million times by now, but the main issues with Germany victory was time, practicality and a feasible end-point.
Capture of Egypt was more important than ever capturing Britain and certainly a hell of a lot more practical than going after the Russians. With the defeat of France in 1940, all Germany had to do was actually supply Rommel with adequate number of troops and secure oil supplies in Egypt. Then regardless of what Churchill preached, establish a Cold War front with Britain and be done with it.
If after you have those securities you still want to go East, stop at Ukraine.
Obviously never declare war on America. The United States wouldn't care to participate in Europe even after Pearl Harbor if there was no way in Africa.
It's really all about greed.

What is crime if the end result affects only the individual who commits it?
