Again, when your the only one playing with nukes...2 more is all it would take.


I don't think the political and military leadership (Patton Excluded) foresaw the absolute menace that Stalin would be to the West. The writing was there for anyone to read. Stalin murdering Russian troops that mingled with the West should have been enough for the USA to know the war wasn't finished with the Axis.

Well I think you are talking about just defeating the USSR. That's different. Somebody else said taking over the world. Which is an absurd suggestion.

Believe me, I agree with you more you than you know on this point.
