If you’re going to use the US as your trading country, then make sure you have a good transport system in place. Get a 4x4 going on. Four transports from Ecan to UK, and UK to EEU (preferably) or Kar. And buy a fighter EVERY round so you can fly it to Russia. Do the same with the UK. Buy a fighter every round and fly it to Russia. Get a good fighter cover going, have Russia buy infantry out the wazoo (and an armour every now and then) and continually wear Germany down.
Attacker retreat options
-
In EEU, Axis has 1 ftr, 1 inf, 1 arm
In BEL, Allies has 3 infLEN & BLK each has an Axis control marker, but do not contain any units.
In Combat Move, Axis attacks as follows:
Ftr: EEU-LEN-BEL
Arm: EEU-BLK-BEL
INF: EEU-BELAfter 1 combat round, no hits are scored & Axis decides to retreat.
Which options does the Axis has for retreat?
EEU is valid
But is BLK or LEN??? -
You may retreat to any territory you attacked from. For this reason I like to blitz my armor through any territory I may want to retreat too.

Well, you can retreat to any territory from where LAND units came from. So in your case you can retreat to BLK(arm-blitz), but not LEN(only air).

Correct, in that scenario, LEN is NOT an option for retreat.
I also assume that you mean UKR not BLK since Balkans is not adjacent to Belo.
So your INF and ARM can retreat to Ukraine or Eastern, but NOT Karelia. Your AF can of course land anywhere within range (so flying via Karelia on this attack is a waste of a move since it only decreases the landing radius of your Fighters without adding a retreat option).

Super! Thank you very much for your answers!
…and yes, of course I meant UKR, and not BLK…sorry, my mistake.
