Just want to remind us all that V-J day (assuming it began recently after V-J Day) was September 2, 1945.

So, if the US and Allies went on the Moscow as some have suggested, they would end up caught in the Russian Winter, and bogged down.

Now, I do not know what was in MacArthur or Patton's heads, but I have a feeling after Napoleon and Hitler, they would not go on to Moscow before March/April/May.
