You're a very consistent war monger Nadine. For you, war seems to always be the answer. If we'd kept going against the Soviets, do you think we would have won? They fought 80% of WWII, had a huge army, many more and greatly superior tanks than what we had. The only reason THEY didn't keep going was that they didn't have the bomb. en.wikipedia.org "After World War II the Soviet Army had the most powerful land army in history. It had more tanks or artillery than all other countries taken together, more soldiers, and large numbers of greatly experienced commanders and staffs. The British Chiefs of Staff Committee rejected as militarily unfeasible a British contingency plan, Operation Unthinkable,[22] to destroy Stalin's government and drive the Red Army out of Europe.[23]" They didn't know we didn't have any more nukes either, that we'd used all we had on Japan. A very well played poker hand by Truman. He even kept them out of the ME by threatening to nuke them with nukes he didn't have.
