1. Is it not true that the reason we did not bomb the Soviet Union at the height of the Cold War was because we knew they could retaliate?

The answer "Yes" would be based on the well-known concept of Mutually Assured Destruction.
You say "No"...then...Why did we not bomb the Soviet Union at the height of the Cold War?
A one word statement of "No" is mere gainsaying...hardly an answer.
