Stalin said the same thing. He thought he was going to get a war in the West, which would destroy the British, French and German armies, and all of Europe would be easy pickings for the Red Army. Of course, one thing he didn't count on...France falling without much of a fight.
As far as I understand he wasn’t planning to be a spectator as the French planned to be, hoping the Hitler would have his vector east as they themself rejected Molotov’s offer to take on Germany.
Stalin surely was a worst of bastards but still had more sense and honor than the French.
