And many of the troops in Europe were going to be sent to the Pacific for the anticipated invasion of Japan.

Patton wanted to go kill Japs but MacArthur didn’t want him.

So “Pushing to Moscow” was a pipe dream and he knew it.

Yes, I agree. Patton was just thinking out loud, dreaming a bit. He was right of course about the Soviets. But moving against them was wildly impractical…just a dream.
