He is alluding to many Americans felt (and did for years after) that we shouldn’t have stopped at Berlin, we should have rolled on to Moscow (as Patton said)
That we should have attacked Russia while they were depleted to kill the communists off and end the Cold War before it began.

Well of course they were, but don’t be silly. Churchill, Stalin, and FDR-Truman all knew that there was an inevitable confrontation that was going to happen between the East and West after the war ended. Communism vs Capitalism. It could be argued and I believe that the Cold War started well before the end of WWII. Churchill definitely wanted to go after the Russians and so did our military generals.
Communism could have died in Europe in 1945 and that probably would have been the end of that. You probably don’t have the spread of communism to China and Vietnam. North and South Korea could just be one Korea. Allowing the USSR to survive and keep going, has brought tremendous amounts of pain, and hostilities between nations since 1945. Communism is the biggest pain in the arse the modern world has had to deal with.
