1. Time - to build up their armies as both expected war eventually between them
2. Poland - the two divided Poland, Russia also invaded Lithunia Latvia but failed versus Finland
3. Resources - for Germany, it received raw materials from Russia that was used in its invasion of western europe
4. eventual Allied concessions made to Soviet Russia at end of WW2 - a Soviet Nazi alliance was simply too much for Britain to fight, even if US had joined the war earlier. When Germany attacked Russia, Britain itself was fighting for its life, so even as Russia must have welcomed allied aid in forms of military aid and equipment, the allied powers were the ones pursuing Russia to become a full pledged allied power ( it was earlier a Nazi ally or even an axis power itself ) Soviet Russia got the better deal in this alliance as eastern europe was conceded to Russia including division of Germany, UK and US were happy just to defeat the Nazis and they considered the huge loss of soviet lives ( instead of UK US lives ) was adequate price for the concessions. in short, by this secret agreement, but secret only in name, russia increased its asking price to join the allies.
Answer:
The South African Border War, also known as the Namibian War of Independence, and sometimes denoted in South Africa as the Angolan Bush War, was a largely asymmetric conflict that occurred in Namibia (then South West Africa), Zambia, and Angola from 26 August 1966 to 21 March 1990. It was fought between the South African Defence Force (SADF) and the People's Liberation Army of Namibia (PLAN), an armed wing of the South West African People's Organisation (SWAPO). The South African Border War resulted in some of the largest battles on the African continent since World War II and was closely intertwined with the Angolan Civil War.
Following several years of unsuccessful petitioning through the United Nations and the International Court of Justice for Namibian independence from South Africa, SWAPO formed the PLAN in 1962 with material assistance from the Soviet Union, China, and sympathetic African states such as Tanzania, Ghana, and Algeria.[31] Fighting broke out between PLAN and the South African authorities in August 1966. Between 1975 and 1988 the SADF staged massive conventional raids into Angola and Zambia to eliminate PLAN's forward operating bases.[32] It also deployed specialist counter-insurgency units such as and 32 Battalion trained to carry out external reconnaissance and track guerrilla movements.[33]
South African tactics became increasingly aggressive as the conflict progressed.[32] The SADF's incursions produced Angolan casualties and occasionally resulted in severe collateral damage to economic installations regarded as vital to the Angolan economy.[34] Ostensibly to stop these raids, but also to disrupt the growing alliance between the SADF and the National Union for the Total Independence for Angola (UNITA), which the former was arming with captured PLAN equipment,[35] the Soviet Union backed the People's Armed Forces of Liberation of Angola (FAPLA) through a large contingent of military advisers and up to four billion dollars' worth of modern defence technology in the 1980s.[36] Beginning in 1984, regular Angolan units under Soviet command were confident enough to confront the SADF.[36] Their positions were also bolstered by thousands of Cuban troops.[36] The state of war between South Africa and Angola briefly ended with the short-lived Lusaka Accords, but resumed in August 1985 as both PLAN and UNITA took advantage of the ceasefire to intensify their own guerrilla activity, leading to a renewed phase of FAPLA combat operations culminating in the Battle of Cuito Cuanavale.[34] The South African Border War was virtually ended by the Tripartite Accord, mediated by the United States, which committed to a withdrawal of Cuban and South African military personnel from Angola and South West Africa, respectively.[37] PLAN launched its final guerrilla campaign in April 1989.[38] South West Africa received formal independence as the Republic of Namibia a year later, on 21 March 1990.[22]
Despite being largely fought in neighbouring states, the South African Border War had a phenomenal cultural and political impact on South African society.[39] The country's apartheid government devoted considerable effort towards presenting the war as part of a containment programme against regional Soviet expansionism[40] and used it to stoke public anti-communist sentiment.[41] It remains an integral theme in contemporary South African literature at large and Afrikaans-language works in particular, having given rise to a unique genre known as (directly translated "border literature").

The correct answer should be the third one you listed. The "current drag" then is a device that is used in order to measure the sub-surface currents. This device and the measurements it provides are extremely important for the field of oceanography which studies the aspects of the oceans both the physical and the biological ones.
So you know how they had that whole Ferguson riot and all of that, well its kinda like this, it was always there but because the public saw the negative it made an uproar and no one really knew the truth. he was jay walking, the cop that stopped him just had a call to were he had to perform CPR on a baby which didn't make it through and he was verbally aggressive, but because of them looking from the outside it looked worse than it really was.
