Patton said we should have marched our armies straight to Moscow after Berlin fell. We'd have to fight the communists eventually anyways we may as well do it now while our armies were in Europe. But, the politicians weren't having it and instead they have Eastern Europe to Russia and hundreds of millions of people suffered and died in the decades that followed.
Oddly, the world didn't care when Stalin killed millions in camps.
It's more than just "politicians weren't having it." The idea was wargamed and we couldn't win. The war we fought was not the war the Soviets fought. We didn't have the means to win in the open terrain of the east. The logistics problem of the USSR being BIG has never been solved. And our populace was war weary.
At that time,the soviets were weak and Patton noticed what the soviets did to the eastern Germans. Patton was disappointed that the USA destroyed Germany.he considered the Germans the finest people in Europe and when he discovered the lies about the war,he died a mysterious death.
Lots of Soviets had died. They had more. Their war production was fine, despite all the destruction. We couldn't take out their tanks and rockets, not without nukes.

What lies do you refer to?
That makes sense. Learn from the mistakes of Hitler and Napoleon.
