The Red Army had that capability. Indeed, they already occupied all of Eastern Europe up to and including the Eastern parts of Germany.
As western militaries demobilized, there was really nothing stopping the big red machine from continuing the westward March.
The modern Russian army is nothing but a paper tiger compared to the Red Army of the 40s and 50s.
