No, there wasn't any appetite for War with Russia, but we had the Bomb and nobody else did so the Russians probably wouldn't have put up too much resistance. I can't say too much. I imagine people were not up for another war right after the war with Hitler. Hindsight is 20/20. Its easy to judge them in 2015.

After we dropped the 2 bombs on Japan, we were out of bombs, at least temporarily. We didn't have enough Uranium refined to bomb grade to make any more. Truman pretended he had some more to keep the Soviets from invading Iran, but he was bluffing.
