"The USA and England divided Europe with the USSR."

Yes, I'm aware. Our difference is only that I believe Churchill and Roosevelt thought Soviet occupation of eastern Europe was an existing evil they had to accept under the circumstances, not a desired goal of the western alliance as you seem to be putting forward.

"The USSR didn't over run western Europe. Ask yourself why they didn't do so."

The presence of the British and American armies in western Europe. Otherwise the Soviet army would have kept going till they reached the Atlantic.

"They didn't over run eastern Europe."

They most assuredly did. Yes, they were chasing the retreating German army, driving it before them. A real military accomplishment belying the "paper tiger" label you have put on the USSR.

"They had 2 conferences which divided Europe giving eastern Europe to the USSR."

The conferences occurred after Russian troops already had eastern Europe.
