Dude, by 1945 all the Soviets had were US tanks with a red star painted on them firing US ammunition.You idiot. In 1945 the Soviet army was a tiny shell and was totally dependent upon American weapons and ammunition. The population hated Stalin, Russians were doing their best to get to the West. We could have taken Moscow in a week.You moron. America lost tens of thousands of lives in the Cold War. Training accidents, operational accidents, etc etc. Hell, just in the Berlin Airlift alone we had 76 casualties. The world was a blink away from all out nuclear war in 1963.Political genius.
If we had taken Russia decades of Cold War would have never existed and all of the lives and money lost could have been used for good.
We lost no lives in the Cold War with USSR
An invasion of Russia would have cost hundreds of thousand of lives to obtain an objective we won anyway
Compared to the hundreds of thousands we would have lost by invading Russia?
You show why I hate public education. They never teach important things and idiots like you go off on uneducated rants.
The Soviets had the best armored divisions in the war and knew how to use them. They also had superior artillery
They also knew the terrain they would be fighting on
Russia had already taken 20 million losses...they could withstand another million
The American public would have never stood for another 100,000 losses to conquer a former ally
Russian people did everything they could to flee to the West. They would have supported the removal of Stalin and the world would have been much better off.
