WWII ended with the Red Army marching all the way into Berlin and the USSR swallowing everything up to that point.

What if the Western allies basically told Stalin "We agree Germany must be stopped. But we are not going to allow you to turn red all of eastern europe. Russia cant have other legitimate goals other than Russia and if you insist on conquering everything from Russia to Berlin, we will support a German anti-nazi coup, then form and the war will continue as an unified front against the USSR. Also forget about lend and lease."

What do you think would happen? Do you think Stalin would stop or he would keep going anyway? If he kept going, could this alliance defeat the USSR?
