Attack the Soviets post WWII?

Also the Russians did not take Paris…

Not by themselves but with the Prussians and other troops from the sixth coalition. They occupied Paris on March 31, 1814.

Yes, but not by storm, and that was after the French surrendered.

Who besides the Germans in WW2?

Maybe he was referring to Poland’s allegedly provoking the Soviets?

@Pleonast

What I wonder is, would the US/UK settle for pushing the Russians back into the Soviet Union, or would they try to push them back into Russia proper? That is, would freeing only the newly occupied states in Eastern Europe be the goal, or would they try to free the occupied republics (Baltic states, Ukraine, etc) as well? Would freeing the republics even be possible?

I’m pretty sure this would be decided situationally. If the US/UK get the Soviets on the run (unlikely IMHO) and are driving, they will try to go on and secure the Baltics. If it looks too hard, they might settle for less. Either way will be justified by rhetoric indicating said choice was logical and morally correct.
