While you may or may not be right again it's important to remember the timing of the Doolittle raid
We weren't sure what the result of the Pacific war would look like at that point and weren't sure if we could defeat Germany at all.
The question of what to eventually do about the USSR was way down the priority list

I mean, that’s somewhat cool but I also now think you suck because you’ve done something I’ll never get to
So it’s a wash?
I carry no hate, as it owns you.
You’ll get to do something cool I won’t.
PS: I don’t suck but I can be a shite from time to time.

Ironic that in 1946 we were asking Japan if we could bomb the Soviet Union from there.

I think the crew likely figured out they had better survival odds in Russia than not making it to China.
This sounds like the best explanation IMO.
I love learning more and more about these stories from WW2
