What if we ignored N. Africa and the MTO?

I really am unsure about this.

It *might* be possible for Hitler to win the East. Say an early German
assault on Leningrad and then once it falls, a very risky direct assault
on Moscow and pray that the Russian army on his flanks in Kiev don't do
him much damage.

You're kidding, right? Look at Russian history! Even Tsushima, as
terrible a defeat as can happen to a Navy, with demoralized crews,
they fought many ships until the water closed over them, or no more
ammunition remained or no guns could fire. Pray.... yeah right! :-)
