Really? Like what? Don’t get me wrong, we really didn’t want to go to war with Russia, but at the same time, we had nuclear weapons and the will to use them. Russia had a force spread out across Europe that had taken truly massive losses. They had a big army, but no way of transporting them en masses across the ocean.
Truthfully, we could have overthrown every government on the planet had we been ruthless imperialists with some B-52s and 20 nukes and there really wasn’t a damn thing anyone left standing at the time could have done about it.
Hell, if Churchhill’s advice was taken about nuking Russia at the time, they would have ceased to exist.
