In hindsight it's obvious that the allies should have betrayed USSR, overthrow their shit dictator and make them give back the countries they stole during WW2. But in 1945 everyone was so ready to stop fighting.

Even worse, we might have lost and that would've been a shitshow on a completely different level then.

Maybe they also saw what happened when Hitler tried to invade Russia. In my hindsight it's obvious why they made the choice they did. Trying to start a new invasion of the Soviet Union in 1945 would have been insane.
