If Voldemort had a "today, Britain, tomorrow the world" approach, that would 
not preclude his making use of any foreign support that came his way.  The 
obvious analogy is Hitler, but I don't think there's enough information yet 
to tell.  His political agenda, such as it is, seems to consist of:
1.  Get immortality and dark powers for self.
2.  Get Harry Potter.
3.  Get Muggles.

This may be heresy, but I think V is a bit of a tiresome nuisance, more 
effective off-stage than on.
