You think that Russia didn't want Western Europe? Man are you missinformed. They would have taken ALL of Germany, if it weren't for the US getting to berlin at the same time wouldn't they?
The meeting of the American and Russian forces in Berlin was carefully choreographed for propaganda reasons. The Russians were ordered to wait and the British were ordered to stay out of Berlin to allow the Americans who were a little behind to get there. Thats fairly well documented, if the Russians were so hell bent why wait? But they did, because at that time we were ALL on the same side.
Then they got nukes,a few years after the US. So say the US went back into it's isolationist thought. You think Russia wouldn't have invaded say, France, with no American nuclear detterent?
That was the common belief at the time, as I said, but it can never be proved or disproved because it didn't happen
The fact that Russia had TENS OF THOUSANDS of tanks ready to invade all of western Europe is testiment to their true intentions. Howeer, the Russians were not stupid and realized that the US was their equal and would defend there allies. Hence, you do not live uder comunism.

The problem with you Yanks is that you're so high up that you can't tell whose a friend or an enemy.
