Believe it or not Hitler once thought that the US was a natural ally to Nazi Germany (perish the thought!!!)

Exactly, eventually the Germans would have had to bring all or most of their troops out of western europe to defend their eastern border from the Red hordes. Even then, it would have been difficult for them to stop the Soviets.
Some people forget, or never answer, how the Germans financed their military adventures. Since trade from many places was cut off by the British, they had to rely on internal resources, and what they could steal from those countries they invaded. Every time they invaded a country, they robbed the national treasury of that country. Socialism, national socialism in this case, spends more than it takes in in all cases, Germany was no different. They were always one country's national treasury away from economic depression during their 12 years in power.
