Regardless
"I am not arguing that Stalin would have held back from introducing his drastic land reform policy had Germany not invaded the Soviet Union. Stalin was such a radical follower of Marxism-Leninism that he would have enacted a similar policy regardless."
Is it automatically clear that what I am trying to say is that regardless of whether Germany invaded the Soviet Union, Stalin would have introduced his land reform policy? Or does 'regardless" simply means a vague "whatever happens" when used as a stand-alone adverb? Is it okay if I just leave "regardless" hanging there at the end of a sentence? Thank you.
