No. The Soviets were our allies.
We were exhausted and still had to finish the war in the Pacific.
Lines had to be drawn,and they were.
I can't argue with you on those points.
We let these "allies" get away with declaring war on Japan AFTER we dropped the bomb. This got their foot in the door for a piece of a pie they never paid a drop of blood for. (How many russians died fighting japs?)
In turn, they then gave us the Korean War, the Viet Nam war, and the Cuban missle crisis.
The Soviets were our "Allies" in name only. General Patton knew their true colors and wanted us to go into Prague and help those people but wasn't allowed to. Eisenhower and Bradley used Patton and then threw him away. By this time, we had won the war but the bottom line was that one dictator (Hitler) was replaced by another (Stalin). Look at Poland-those poor people went through two hells and it wasn't until R. Reagan, John Paul II, M. Thatcher and others, did they gain their freedom.
