Supposedly he wanted Trotsky to succeed but nobody listened to him in his later days

How would Trotsky fair against the Germans?
Would he have attacked the Japanese after Khalkin Gol?
I can't imagine him doing something like a Molotov-Ribbentrop-Pact.
Would he have waged the Winter War?
Would he have continued WW2 against the Allies after he took Berlin and Tokyo?

Possibly a little worse than Stalin. I'm not saying he didn't know how to organize armies but he couldn't have fostered a ludicrous personality cult and myth of a national liberation war like Stalin did either.
No he wasn't that stupid.
Why? After being isolated by the West it was the best option to buy time for the Stalin regime, Trotsky would likely see that if he were in the same position. Though hopefully he wouldn't make the same mistake of shipping hundreds of thousands of tons of petrol, oil, and manganese to Hitler.
The idea was to secure the Soviet northern border against potential aggression so Leningrad couldn't be lost so easily. It's very possible Trotsky might have agreed with Stalin here but I see no reason to give a definitive answer either way.
I would be genuinely surprised if a single person in the Soviet Union at the time would have been dumb enough to even consider this.

Well now that it's actually been tested history we can now see that it should not have been Trotsky, Stalin, Bukharin, but rather it should have been no one, and everyone.

It should've been SR:s, not the bullshitweaks to begin with.

that anime spoiler is literally the most annoying thing about this board and is used by anarkiddies to countersignal.
