That's such a s*** crock that America was allied with the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union invaded Poland as well, the polish people were fighting a war on two fronts! Russia had an Alliance with Germany!
America and the Allis should have held the Soviet Union accountable for their alliance with Hitler, and invasion of Poland. America had the Atomic Bomb and Russia didn't. I don't think Russia would have stood much of a chance.
We let Russia oppress and conquer Eastern Europe. They were just as ugly as the Nazis.
So, would it have accomplished the greater good, if the Allis just went all the way to Moscow and dealt with the Soviets the same way they dealt with the Nazis?
After all that devastating losses in battles with the Japanese and Germans, and the superb counterattack by the motivated Soviets , I don't think the western allies had the resolve to wipe out the U.S.S.R as well, with their weary forces lacking in morale, men and material.
And they would also have been more intimidated by the prospect of facing the Russian Winter, which had wiped out Napoleon;'s Grand Army in the early nineteenth century and the Nazi forces as well then.
