Incredible.  I didn’t underestimate them, though, brought in 4 infantry and enough air to almost certainly not give them a second chance  :-P
Had a lot of trouble with Russians lately…. had one survive 53 pips of attacking power before I finally killed it.  That’s right, 53.

Japan fighting USA
Incomes roughly equal, TUV roughly equal

USSR and UK fighting G/I
Incomes roughly equal, TUV roughly equal

Europe assessment:
Advantage: Germany
Income and firepower are superior to UK and USSR separately and neither Ally presents a credible offensive threat, however the UK fighters will no doubt defend Russia when needed and it will probably take many rounds for Germany to exert her advantage effectively.

Pacific assessment:
Advantage: USA
Japan still reeling from a naval battle disaster, is fortunate to be able to take the Phillipines bastion, temporarily tipping IPC income in her favor, but the USA has a building, imposing fleet.
Advantage to USA because Russia/UK/China have joined forces and are creating a 2 front war for Japan while USA is 1 front.  But will USA be drawn away to aid her allies in Europe?

Stay tuned!  Every decision and die roll weighs heavily!
