We should have turned Patton loose on them AFTER they got to Berlin.
Wouldnt have worked!
At that time the Soviet forces were the most massive and powerful land force on earth.
Had Patton attacked the Soviets he would have suffered the same fate the Germans did at Kursk
They would have flicked us off the continent like a piece of lint. Sorry, just the fact. Besides, in 1945 there was absolutely no public support for a wider war or picking new fights, we still had the Japanese to defeat. No one knew at that time whether the A-Bomb would work, or if the Japanese would even surrender after one or several were employed.
Eisenhower saved a lot of American, British and Canadian lives by letting the Russians take Berlin.
