Oh, to have the luxury of such problems…

The soviets weren’t just running low on reserves, they were running low on the Russian People altogether. By the time the red army got to Berlin, the stragglers of the wehrmacht were fighting siberians from northern asia.

We weren’t ready for a longer war with anyone big.

Yes, that’s the point. FDR’s pro-Soviet regime had to violently intervene to prevent WW2 from ending as it should have ended.

“FDR had a man in Moscow who watched the entire Moscow Trials and filed a report that said “yeah basically these trials were fine and they deserved it.”

“Roosevelt fired his ambassador who kept warning him the commies were dedicated to world revolution… curious.”

Well … nothing apart from the Red Army.

Years ago, some old Brits who had served in WWII told me that one of the reasons the Brits voted Churchill out of office even before the fighting stopped was that they were afraid he would turn against the USSR as soon as Germany surrendered. Churchill was perceived as loving war, but the people who did the fighting, dying, and suffering had had enough of war.

Except for the fact that Patton was assassinated in 1945.

Patton from marching to Moscow within the week. But, I suppose, in order to have a Cold War, you must first have a communist adversary.
