DBWI : no decisive allied victory at Mons?

What if the Soviet General Sarkov decided not to push his luck and not move his army group across the bridgehead at the Rhine and rather let his counterparts mop up in Austria , Northern Italy , and Scandanavia first?

This decisive victory probably made it so that the allies would hold out against the Communists along the Rhine. Any thoughts?

Furthermore , what if the Korean war didn't escalate in 1955 into World War III at all? Could the USSR survive until today.

Well if you want to technical WW2 and WW3 were really one in the same, The Korean "War" was only the spark that the Allies need to finally turn their backs on the Soviets.

When the Soviets pushed into Seoul in August of 1945 without even considering the new South Korean Republic the Americans finally opened fire on the soviets.

Who knows maybe if the Soviets didn't need to spend all their resources on building up the eastern european countries in an effort to gain allies in the Third Great War they might have gotten the Atomic Bomb before the Americans blew Moscow and Leningrad into another dimension.
 
I cringe to think about what the world would have been like had the Soviets been given a chance to better develop their military forces after the Second World War. Frankly, I'm glad that President Dewey was also in charge during the Third World War and not his predecessor, President Wallace.
