Operation Unthinkable . Could it really be pulled off by the US and British army in 1945? The Soviet army had more manpower than the US and UK combined at the time. Nukes wonโ€™t stop a Zerg rush.

Maybe to push the USSR back to its pre-1939 borders but then what? There's just miles and miles of Russia that you have to cross and there's nothing there worth having. As another anon pointed out the political will to launch an offensive against an "ally" likely wasn't there to support such an action. Maybe if the Soviets attacked first and triggered similar sentiment to the reaction to Pearl Harbor I could see it happening. But I think the Soviets knew they were reaching the limits of their manpower reserves, whereas the USA had legions of untapped potential.

Would the other allies be able to beat Russia in a straight fight? Undoubtedly yes. Their military was weak to begin with, further degraded by their massive losses, and without Lend-lease propping them up, would have been totally ineffectual.
Was there any political will to do so, and would the public or the enlisted have stood for it after 5 hard years of war? No chance.

Discounting things like morale and homefront fatigue, yes. The SU was fairly stretched on manpower and materiel, and such a situation would see the loss of Allied industrial and economic support. It lacked decisive advantages in tactical aircraft and had no strategic aircraft worth anything. It lacked any meaningful naval assets and would be faced with the real risk of new frontlines opening up. Would it be easy? No. Could it be pulled off? Yes.

Yes but with a huge asterisk. Atomic bombs were a force multiplier beyond anything else, the Soviets basically couldn't have any force concentration, bases, hospitals, or logistical depots because they'd just be nuked. Also the Allies were at the peak of their military buildup, huge number of battletested veterans, and also Germans would have likely joined in as well to retake their East German clay. Plus Poles, Czechs, and so on all revolting.
HOWEVER, everyone was completely exhausted by war by 1945 so anyone who said "let's go for round 2" would not have been taken kindly. You'd have seen outright commie revolts throughout Europe and the US, even if these were easily put down the Soviets would just ramble on about "capitalist warmongers" forever.

Neither side could really invade the other. The USSR had far more ground forces in europe, while the allies would absolutly dominate the sea and air. So mainland USSR wouldnt fall, and neither would the brit empire and naturally not the US. It would just be another euro bloodbath that fizzels out or ends up with US nukes.

No, we're doing that thing where you pretend that deep penetration raids are something you can just do at the drop of a hat. Apparently you need it spelled out that the USSR still had an air force in 1945, and that it wasn't completely swamped with intercept mission to the point where "probably a recon flight" wasn't worth the effort of intercepting. You're not getting one of the less than 5 nukes the US can get together in late '45 into Moscow without first winning the air war for a third time, against an enemy that now knows what a lone bomber can mean.

Can it be done, yes. But now you're asking for a major air campaign that's going to involve throwing that bomber force that just got done thinking it was over back into months of high-intensity operations, including about 300 miles round-trip outside of escort range. It took less than 6 months for the Cold War mentality to settle in, you do not have time to re-invigorate the armed forces for another round or develop a smaller bomb.

You stupid fucking niggers fundamentally fail to grasp the monumental scale of the things you ask for, and then have the utter fucking gall to ask with a straight face why nobody does it.

No because US and UK wartime propaganda and policy has been that commies are their valiant and indispensable allies this entire time.

Turning around and declaring them the big bad after years of whitewashing and pouring money into them would not only fall flat but undermine the whole political structure they've created.

They could've justified an invasion around 1948 following the soviet occupation and upheaval of local governments in subsequent warsaw pact states but they clearly didn't care about that by that point.

In a vacuum, they could do it, the Soviet Union was strained after fighting an existential war and it would not be able to put up with more war against much less exhausted opponents. The problem though, is there would be no political will to go through with it, the people were tired of war and would be less than tolerant of the idea of going to war with people they had just spent years being told was their ally.

However, it's a different story if the Soviet Union is the aggressor. If America and Britain insisted on giving Europe a fair deal, and forced the issue of Poland, and Stalin chose to fight over it, that would be a valid casus belli, as it would come across to the western powers as the communists betraying them, rather than the other way around.

Their air force did not have the capacity to deal with high altitude bombing campaigns and was reliant on US fuel shipments to even fly the missions they did. A B29 would be in uncontested airspace over Persia and Alaska corridors.

You have to be both a retard and a psychopath to consider this. Years of brutal warfare just to turn and fight one of your largest allies from that conflict.There would be no faster way to turn both the civilian populations and military against you.

Anticommunism rots brains and ironically benefits communism because all they ever do is jack off about killing countless people to stop an ideology they never even actually took the time to define or read. Liberalism has led to the best case scenario of the soviets dissolving without war and defanging anticapitalist movements worldwide because it actually improves conditions instead of hanging priests and butchering school girls

In terms of weapons, manpower, tactics, and logistics, probably. But when you factor in individual mentality it turns into:

The US alone had close to 14 million people in uniform in WW2 and that was still a far lower percentage of our total available military-age male population than the other major combatants. We had untapped reserves of manpower in 1945. The Soviet Union absolutely did not. And you, if Lend-Lease had been cut off while fighting was going on, the USSR would have suddenly found it's manpower reserves had abruptly gone DEEP in to the negatives and they'd either have to demobilize hundreds and hundreds of thousands at a minimum in 1945 just to get a crop sown in 1946 or else the entire Red Army would collapse before the start of '47.

I'm pulling out of my ass either. In real-life the war ended in '45, WW3 didn't start, the Soviets were able to demobilize millions of men by the start of 1946, and they still had close to a million people die of famine in 1946-1947. An Operation Unthinkable scenario basically ends with the death of Russia as a concept without even considering what effect WW3 itself would have had.

manpower means jack and shit degenerating into meat assault (like in ukraine 2025) without LOGISTICS. Vatnik union in 1945 was bombed to shit and could not really even feed itself without daddy americas hand outs. This is before the gross technological and industrial superiority of allies like b-29 bombers

Zigger union would have and should have been pounded to dust post berlin. WW2 was half assed and should have ended in 1947 with allied forces rolling into moscow. Vatniks did start the war together with the germans, italians and japanese after all. They deserved the same kind of atomization and reconstruction the other three got

Not finishing ziggers off in ww2 directly leads to todays world of monke, agent orange and regional war burning in east europe. In addition to the copius amounts of subversive propaganda that has poisoned the western thought for close to 80 years now. From marxist wannabe tyrants to todays "tradcon" fifth column grifters

also mainland china being occupied by the communist regime is a direct result of half assing ww2. Mao and his merry band of rats would have never graduated past mountain/steppe guerillas without vatnik union backing them up with gear and weapons. Even with all the corruption and incompetence going on with the nationalists at that time

Related to that Korea and Vietnam wars are also directly tied to that. Kim jong fats dynasty could have never established itself without stalins backing. Even if north Vietnam had its communist beginnings the idea that guided US into the war (domino theory) had no legs without maos china and CCCP up north

Bailing out vatnik union was the first disaster and the second one was not finishing it off after the germans were finished. vatniks are the biggest imperial cancerous tumor this planet has ever seen with its tentacles stretched across the globe

My alt history plan is a little more subtle. The Americans and Brits intentionally give the USSR as little as possible, so they can fight the Germans, but not well, and hopefully collapse. With a German occupation of everything up to the Urals, the Allies can then drive through after the war as liberators and install liberal democratic governments. Alternatively, Russians are bogged down in the east, and the German lines don't collapse. So then the Germs surrender to the Anglo-American allies, and the lines are drawn there. Cold War still happens, but the line of demarcation is in Poland or something.

Also: Putin.

It's funny he was portrayed as some kind of young reformer when he first took power, but he really was the KGB-mafia goon we now see him as. he never changed. He had a nostalgia for the USSR not for ideolgoical reasons, but because it was the biggest the Russian empire had ever gotten. As Mayor of St. Petersberg, he was the head of the Mafia for that city. What did they expect out of him?

The only way to get a reformer was someone who wasn't brought up as a true beliver in the system.

Also irony: word is Putin was part of a group who were robbing the state blind through KGB secret funds. Rather than spending it, they just pocketed it all and put it in off-shore banks, then when the USSR collapsed they swooped in with all this cash and bought up all the now privatized companies.

So he officially likes the USSR and considers its death a tragedy for Russia, but he was robbing from it and doing everything he could to undermine it. Is there no better pure Platonic form of a Russian leader than Putin?

Did you know that Operation Magic carpet had to be expedited to avoid mutinies worsening? Yes, there were several MUTINIES and strikes in the armed forces because guys just wanted to go home now that the job was done. The rate of demobilization in the United States was so rapid because of troops being done with soldiering, it functionally gutted the armed forces for it be still a problem when shit kicked off in Korea five years later.
Morale would've been fucking though the floor if you told them to initiate another war against an ally even stronger then the Nazis. Not to mention the chaos that'd erupt behind the lines. In France, for instance, where communists had just a moment ago been a major resistance player. And at home? Do you think people would continue working long hours to supply such a conflict, or would the be trouble from the highly unionized labor force of the day?

Everyone who says "yes" should remember that the soviet army had enough resources to spare to launch operation august storm in manchuria, decisively destroying an admittedly poorly equipped, trained, supplied and deployed japanese kwangtung army.
The operation occurred over an area that coincides with the area of western europe.

got half of it right, it would've taken a literal order (10x) more manpower than what the western front allies had planned for (about 4.7 million men).

Wouldn't have been needed but would likely make the entire thing a cake walk. Remember that both Churchill and Patton were for this but the OSS killed Patton and Eisenhower made Churchill kneel in exchange for money.

Additional reminder; Operation Unthinkable would never have needed to be considered had Eisenhower listened to Churchill who said that instead of a southern invasion of France that force should have landed in the Baltics (or was it the Balkans, I forget) and prevented USSR from annexing/influencing it. But Eisenhower in his infinite wisdom said the liberation of France was more important. So a huge army lands in southern France and faces nothing but token forces at best and most of the issues were literally just supplies and logistics. Thus cementing USSR hold over Eastern Europe for the next 45 years, the effects being seen to this day (go to east Germany and talk about the USSR near old boomer civil servants, they'll all shed a tear and start singing the Red Anthem).

I don't think the Soviets being able to destroy an underequipped, undertrained, undersupplied, and understaffed army of low quality troops and walking wounded that Japan could not reinforce because the USA was busy actively invading its territory counts for much.

Roosevelt was a communist through and through. His new deal policies were straight up communist central planning theft of private property and all (Theft of US citizens gold and outlawing ownership) A few of the new deal things were unquestionably positive like public works and water towers but its still debated whether overall they helped end or prolong the great depression. And then when WW2 hits its no surprise he goes all in on keeping the Soviet regime alive.

at a bare minimum it demonstrates that the soviets were not the molasses, giant mass of human meat that give off the impression of slow and uncoordinated, who advanced on germany only through sheer numeric superiority (which they definitely had in their favor if the allies were to remain at 47 divisions).
It should also be mentioned that the forces sent to manchuria were troops that the soviets spared precisely because they knew the troops left in germany could fend off any western allies aggression (short of muh nooks). Stalin is many things, dumb enough to fall for an empty non-aggression pact twice is pushing it.

It took the USSR more than 2 years to barely take back the territory Germany, a Nation half the size of Texas, took from them in six months.

The that was while Germany was fighting a ware on other fronts and being strategic bombed to shit.

The notion they are going to steamroll the western allies, who are infinitely better supplied and capable, while they are suddenly the ones on the receiving end the strategic bombing, is absolutely comical.

Yeah, it took the US two years, only they were crossing the Pacific and purposely skipping islands.

Oh yeah....they didn't lose 10 million soldiers doing it either.

Citing "numerical advantage" is hilarious considering how badly they got fucked up by Germany despite this. If they were "coordinated and capable" they wouldn't have lost 4 men for every 1 German they killed.

Capitalism is what imports people from the third world so they can wage-squeeze. Under Liberal wage schemes companies should actually pay fair wages to everyone and anyone so would get no benefit by importing foreigners because they'd have to pay them the same as they would any domestic worker. But sure, run through that old Capitalist trick of causing the problem then blaming it on others.
