Don't change the subject, this is quite clearly about who the Soviet Union leaders were, and whether they were exclusivly Russian, or a hodge podge of athiests from many countries and backgrounds, funded by foreigners into a successful takeover of Russia and East Europian countries like Ukraine.

Here's why this conspiracy theory is complete nonsense:

" the aftermath of the victory in Europe, Patton was disappointed by the Army's refusal to give him another combat command in the Pacific. Unhappy in his role as the military governor of Bavaria and depressed by his belief that he would never fight in another war, Patton's behavior and statements became increasingly erratic.

Whatever the cause, Patton found himself once again in trouble with his superiors and the American people. While speaking to a group of reporters, he compared the Nazis to losers in American political elections. Patton was soon relieved of his Third Army command and transferred to the Fifteenth Army, a paper command preparing a history of the war.

Bitter and intending to soon resign from the Army, in October 1945 General Patton assumed control of the Fifteenth Army. However, on December 9 he suffered serious injuries from an auto accident. Many conspiracy theorists believe that the drivers that were operating the car were ordered to hit him because of the belief that he was going to run for President when he came back to the United States, or because of his quarrels with occupation policies such as the Morgenthau Plan.http://rense.com/general63/patton.htm Patton died on December 21, 1945, and was buried in the American War cemetery in Hamm, Luxembourg."

As you can see, he was already finished in the US Army and posed no threat to the Soviets at that time. The "presidential ambitions" conspiracy theory are pretty similiar to the conspiracy theory surrounding McArthur's dismissal "because Truman knew he was going to run for president" or "Eisenhauer didn't want the competition" etc., etc..
