assuming he acquired atomic capabilities, how would he have deployed them on the united states? he had no aircraft carriers and no long-range bombers to attack america with.

All true. Though he did have a submarine fleet which operated right off the east coast of the US, sometimes sinking ships within sight of land. Boston Harbor, the Hudson, the Potomoc would be potentially accessible.

i see no reason why germany and the united states had to be enemies of each other.

Well, it's an historical fact that Nazi Germany declared war on us. So any alliance between the US and Nazi Germany would have had to come before Pearl Harbor. And presumably after the ending of the Nazi-Soviet pact in 1939. I'm presuming you would not have wanted America to ally itself with both Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. So how do you think we should have communicated our desire for alliance to Nazi Germany in that window of time?
