Considering that Russia had just lost over 10% of their population, it is understandable how paranoid they would be. Russia wanted to ensure they would never be invaded again. I doubt if they would have wavered on that point. Russia also felt that they bore the bulk of the burden against the Nazis and deserved most of the spoils.
FDR could have fought it, but it would have involved removing Russia from already occupied territory

Bullshit.
Patton for one wanted to beat the Soviets to Prague and Berlin and the Germans would have gladly helped him in that effort. But Ike was under orders from Stalin's favorite sock puppet, FDR, as to disposition of Europe; that is, Uncle Joe get a lot of the prime real estate. FDR was advised by Communist spies. Joe McCarthy told the embarrassing truth that USState was overrun with Communist spies. History bears out McCarthy.
In his journals and letter Patton calls WWII a huge strategic failure for the USA because it left "major European capitals in the hands of the descendants of Genghis Khan"
50 years later, thanks to Ronald Reagan, Eastern Europe broke the yoke of Communist oppression.

Patton was a great military leader. However, his combat losses at times were for meaningless territory at great loss. His ego put soldiers in the grave for no militaty reason at all many times.
McCarthy used the shotgun effect. Accuse EVERYONE and see what sticks. Roy Cohn was his assistant and accomplice at that along with Bobby Kennedy at times.
McCarthy could have cared less about the American doctrine of innocent until proven guilty. For every spy he may have revealed 1000 innocent people had their lives ruined.
Stalin's desire at the end of WWII was not pure expansion. Initially all he wanted pro-soviet buffer states between himself and the west and in this he succeed, especially due to Roosevelt's nativity and Truman's lack of knowledge concerning our dealings and promises made to Stalin by Roosevelt. (Truman was not included in the negotiations). Churchill was horrified by what Roosevelt was doing but was actually not in a powerful enough position to effectively counter so was forced to accept the inevitable.
Yeah well it didn't work out all that well for the Soviets, did it?

As much as I disagree with Rightwinger on most subjects in this instance he is 100% correct. Stalin and the Russians were paranoid, distrusting the west. They wanted those buffer states and they wanted them under their control. After WWII the soviets allowed themselves to be hemmed in and it was only later they started exporting communism (and armaments) mainly to develop trading partners but also to discomfort the west and in some instances cause open conflict. Of course we did the same.

Patton was an ass when it came to evaluating the political realities of a situation. The Russians had killed 7 million Germans during the war. How many million casualties would the American public have tolerated ?
Bullshit.

Patton knew Ike and FDR agreed to sell out Eastern Europe
Patton predicted Ike was going to run for the US Presidency.
Patton knew handing Eastern Europe to Uncle Joe was one of the worst ideas in human history and made the US War effort a strategic failure

LOL!!! He did all himself, did he? What about Carter's backing the Afghanis and embroiling the SU in its own Viet Nam? There are instances like that throughout the history of the Cold War. Reagan merely came along when the SU was already on its last legs. It was brought down by its own citizens and the citizens of the other Iron Curtain countries.
