Also some historians think that Stalin had plans to start a war with Germany, but Germany started the war several days sooner (For instance Mark Solonin talks about this).

USSR was willing to go to war with Germany as early as 1938 but France didn’t want to, and Poland refused to allow Soviet movement thru their country.
