In hindsight, we should have listened to Patton and took out Russia while they were weak.
To be fair, the 3rd Army would have had trouble with 300-something divisions the Red Army had at the time.
We had an army, and they had an army. We would have hit the same buzzsaw that chewed up the finest divisions of the Wermacht and Waffen SS. Just to keep things completely in perspective.

Russia would never have been able to prosecute the war without shipments of raw materials from the US. We would've kicked their arse

And we had the bomb, the materiel and a completely intact country. Don't forget, superior air power as well. We had large forces stationed on either side of Russia and were a major supplier to their war effort.
Politically, war with Russia was a non starter though.

We would have rearmed the Germans.

The strategic capabilities of the United States would have been a whole different ball of wax for the Russians. The entire Pacific side of Russia wouldn't have lasted too long. On the European side, those hundreds of divisions would have never made it to the battlefront with the air campaign we would have unleashed.
