Patton and the end of WW2?

Question

After the defeat of Germany, Patton wanted to invade the Soviet Union.
"The war shouldn't be over. We should stop pussyfooting about the Russians! We'll have to fight them anyway. Why not do it now, when the army's here? lnstead of disarming Germans let's get them to help fight the Bolsheviks."

So we all know Patton was correct.
Since the cold war really started at the Yalta conference. So the cold war was already on.

How many troops did we have in Germany at the end of the war?
U.S. Third Army, The Seventh Army, US 4th Infantry Division.
Any more?
How many men?
Could they have defeated the Bolsheviks?

The soviets had 10,700,000 deaths and 11,900,000 injured.
And they had about 14% of their total population killed.

Answer 1

No one has successfully invaded Russia. Several people have tried.

The West won the Cold War economically, not militarily (and there is a lesson about what China could do there).

Answer 2

america would have lost a conventional land war with the soviets right after ww2 even with german help. the soviets would have gained all the territory from russia to portugal. the soviets might have lost 14 percent of their population, but they still outnumbered america and the allies as a whole in having better tanks and alot of it like the t34's, more infantry, a logistics and supplies advantage since their home country was close by, and unlike germany towards the end of ww2 the soviets had an air force and especially more artillery. america on the other hand had more planes, ships and a ground force in europe compared to the soviets but they wouldve had trouble sending supplies and reinforcements from thousands of miles away from america to the front lines in europe like england versus america during the american revolution so it wouldnt have been possible to take out the soviets unless america used atomic weapons.

Answer 3

Patton was a fascist and would have fitted very nicely into the SS but this was distasteful to most of the other Generals who had seen thousands of their men killed by the Germans and seen what the Nazis were capable of in the concentration camps.
