To welch on Yalta?

So whenever the issue of either the W-Allies or Soviets taking more territory than they did OTL somebody inevitably brings up the results of Yalta. So my question to you is, what are the chances of either the W-allies or Soviets welching on the Yalta agreement? What would it take.

I personally think that if FDR had died earlier allowing Truman to take office before VE day could have allowed for the Western Allies to take a bigger chunk of Germany.
 
In answer to the question, though, I think either (or any, since the US and UK aren't as closely married as they will be yet) side would welch if they could have. With some slight changes you could have communists take Greece or Czechoslovakia become West-aligned. It's also true that the various powers were talking past each other when they bandied about the phrase 'sphere of influence.'
 
Stalin and Zombie Lenin send their massed horde of mooks westwards in an attempt to crush the backstabbing capitalists.:rolleyes:

The Soviets were quite scrupulous about only taking territory that had been agreed upon at Yalta, if the WA break that deal it opens up a can of worms in Asia...

The fact that Czechoslovakia was allowed to be taken over by Communist hardliners was a moment of sheer and utter idiocy in early Cold War US foreign policy. A Communist elected government is fine, it can be thrown out of office... but the second they tried for a coup the US should have started arming anyone and everyone else in the country to the teeth and rebuilding its military presence in Europe.
