http://www.cracked.com/ If Patton who was relieved of service already was allowed to invade Russia, whose army outnumbered the West's by 2:1, whose country had only been conquered once in its entire history by a nonrussian, and who pretty much could strangle all of Europe at that time, bad things would have happened. Yes. Soviet Russia's communist uprising was becoming more and more of a threat. Other countries were turning communist, too. And if we had dealt with it then and there, the Korean War, and the Vietnamese war would have never happened. Along with the mass homicides committed in China, Laos, Cuba, etc. It would have easily saved over 50 million lives. Patton had more experience and skill then any Russian General at that time, and was better equipped. So what if we were outnumbered 2:1. Alexander The Great, Hannibal, Julius Caesar and many more great generals have won with even worse odds, and sometimes they were even under-equipped. Side: To hell with the Ruskies
First of all Patton was no Hannibal. Second Russia has only been successfully invaded once. Third Russia would have developed an a-bomb before we ever totally conquered them if we could. Fourth we would have had no allies as Russia could have destroyed them with their millions stationed in Europe. Fifth China would have aided Russia, and theoretically they could amass a larger army. Sixth Russia has a lot of oil and the American economy cannot function without it. Seventh our base closest to Russia was Japan, who would've been wiped out by Siberian forces, and the Japanese militarists. Side: To hell with the Ruskies
"First of all Patton was no Hannibal." Patton was the best general alive at his time. So was Hannibal. "Second Russia has only been successfully invaded once." So they can be invaded again. "Third Russia would have developed an a-bomb before we ever totally conquered them if we could." Russia only learned how to create the A-Bomb through stealing it. The war was over so we had let our guard down. But, during war, Russia wouldn't have touched our special recipe =) "Fourth we would have had no allies as Russia could have destroyed them with their millions stationed in Europe." Japan is pretty darn near close to Russia. If we had attacked Russia, Europe would most likely have sided with us. "Fifth China would have aided Russia, and theoretically they could amass a larger army." At that time China loved us. Our Flying Tigers were famous amongst the Chinese people as "Dragons." "Sixth Russia has a lot of oil and the American economy cannot function without it." Theres more in the Middle East, and Alaska =p "Seventh our base closest to Russia was Japan, who would've been wiped out by Siberian forces, and the Japanese militarists." Siberian Forces can't wipe out the US Military. Who was stationed there. Side: To hell with the Ruskies

If, we used only one a-bomb on Japan and saved the other one for Moscow, we might have been able to do it. We had nuclear capabilities 4-5 years before they did. Russia had lost the most lives in WW2. If we had taken out Russia, the Korean War wouldn't have happened, the Vietnam War wouldn't have happened and China wouldn't be communist and we could possibly be in better economic condition than them right now.

No the world has just witnessed the bloodiest conflict in human history. And the russians helped us strangle the German army in Berlin. If the nazi soviet pact had not fallen through with the nazi invazion. There would be just grounds for Invasion. The russians lost 25,000,000 people to the Germans. idealogical differences shouldnt be the basis on going to war especially after they helped us win World War 2 Side: To hell with the Ruskies
General Patton, God rest his Loyal Patriotic American soul was right! Our once great nation is about to find out why invading the USSR in 1945, after taking Berlin, wasn't such a bad idea after all. Keep a close eye on what's about to happen in Chicago at the NATO summit. Russian troups will follow shortly afterwards and they will be coming to a US Military installation near you. They are Russia's Elite Forces and supposedly are going to undergo terrorist training....I'LL LEAVE IT UP TO YOU ALL TO FIGURE OUT WHO AND WHERE THE TERRORISTS ARE!....STAY FROSTY!
