Should have made the commies surrender while we were in domination mode.
While I hate the communists and generally agree with your post a lot of us probably wouldn’t be here today had we gone to war with the soviets.
The battles and bloodshed from a war between the soviets and US/UK would’ve been on an even larger scale than what we saw bw the Germans/Soviets. Both my grandfathers were a year or two young for WW2 but they would’ve been in the meat grinder had we gone to war with the commie reds.
It wouldn’t of been a sure victory and probably a long drawn out bloody stalemate unless we pulled out the nukes

Both mine were in WW2, and I’m pretty sure they were ready to come home and squirt out kids once that war was over. They wanted nothing to do with more fighting. Can’t blame em.

Nope. Had things stayed the same the Soviets would have been beaten.
However, chew on this: We all know that it was the invading of Poland that forced the Allies hand. Wasn't the annexations. We need to remember that Stalin was in full annexation mode, too. Poland would have been invaded by the soviets anyway.
And that's where it gets a bit interesting. Instead of Germany being seen as aggressors, we have to remember there was equal propaganda against the soviets and Hitler would have used this to align with France and Britain - which allows the Germans to push eastward using a humanitarian front against the soviets while the allies help and provide cover.
