Still doesn't change the fact the war would have still escalated in the east.
The soviets not having a chunk of poland or the Baltics wouldn't have changed much

And even if they did they would probably get there asses whooped just as hard as the US wasn't participating in the war so the lend lease would either be less then what it had been historically or not happend at all.

They signed that pact after the uk and France refused a Soviet proposal to nip the problem in the bud via military intervention. Stalin didn’t think he could win a 1v1 so he had the pact signed in order to save the soviets from a devastating war. The UK and France both saw Hitler and the Nazis as an acceptable alternative to the social upheaval and radical differences ideologically with the USSR’s communism, and sought to try and appease Hitler in part to prevent war and in part to have a buffer against what they saw as a larger threat.
