1945: Drive to the East to keep Poles and Hungarians and Czecks from of the USSR?

Let say that for reason Patton and Churchill surgestion to Truman about driving to the East to prevent the power of the USSR from the rising had been followed for followed and Western Poland (Including Western Warsaw), Czeck Republic and Hungary and been Part of the West?

While Eastern Poland, GDR and the rest of the countries in the East Europe and gone to the USSR?

And having East Poland be Kalingrad been connected landwise?

Having a Nation called Western Poland boarded by USSR Eastern Germany, Eastern Poland and USSR Slovakia and NATO Czeck Republic and NATO Hungary.

Which kind of cold war would this produced?

I don't think the allies will get those border without going to war with the soviets. The soviets will not allow to pass. There were already red army troops in the Czeck Republic, Poland , Hungary and Austria.
There are many problems:
1. The fact the allies didn't finish the war with Japan.
2. Massive public outcry at what would be an allied unprovoked attack against an ally. The perception that USSR is an enemy is not present.
3. War fatigue. Ouside USA no one of the western allies were capable of a millitary operation against USSR. Any attempt would see Churchill out of power and in France possible civil war.
4. The red army was a formidable adversary. There is no way you could cover the millitary opperations to fight the red army.
5.Kalingrad does not matter . The Baltic States were part of USSR .
In best situation,in most of the rational scenarios, if the allies will go with theese plan is a soviet border Rhine and a fully comunist Germany.
 
Since neither Atlee nor Truman nor Stalin showed any interest in revising the border agreements at Yalta what would be the basis for this?

Indeed, in every case where one of the allies crossed the line during pursuit of the Nazis they immediately retreated afterwards.

The French are virtually impotent, the British exhausted and crashing both militarily and economically, the US gutting units while the fighting is still raging in the Pacific to 'bring the boys home', and Stalin is looking forward to years enjoying the incorporation of his list of gains so who is starting a war?
 
Having a Nation called Western Poland boarded by USSR Eastern Germany, Eastern Poland and USSR Slovakia and NATO Czeck Republic and NATO Hungary.

Why would the Allies swing around Germany and attack Poland? That doesn't make logical sense to me and I doubt it would make sense to the leaders of the time either.
