What if the US had fought Soviet Russia after Germany was defeated, as Patton wanted?
I think the Russians would have slaughtered the western allies, their armies were bigger, more experiences with breakthrough warfare, (aka blitzkrieg), and had a massive air force, almost equivalent to the allied air forces. Th only disadvantage the USSR would have had is that hey has no equivalent to the US and British long range heavy bombers.
Any thoughts?
