US nuclear threats directed against Russia predate the Cold War. They were first formulated at the height of World War II under the Manhattan Project when the US and the Soviet Union were allies.
The plan to bomb 66 Soviet cities was “officially” formulated in mid-September 1945, two weeks after the formal surrender of Japan.
And Russia would be fine because 20 million troops take continental Europe and found EUSSR. Would be a pretty cool timeline

Imagine if the Allies didn't stop at Berlin but continued all the way to Moscow and removed Communism.
How would Eastern Europe look today?

>Imagine can't youtube.com/watch?v=CjrApvHZZw8 4 minute mark is 'allies', 6 minute mark is communism circa 1945 soviets stopped because they've had enough war. allies stopped because what else could they do with all that air power but no army to speak of, comparatively
Christopher Baker
and it would have been worth it
Eli Adams
>army that suffered 1 to 1 losses fighting against volkshturm children and gramps >a serious threat against US and Britain lmao

Peaceful, Prosperous, Safe.

You just know that if stalin had nukes first he would 100% use them asap Americans are sissies who are afraid of a real war
100% this, Americans are being displaced from the 1# place in the world precicely because they are too pussy to do the things that ought to be done.

>Would be carried out in response to a NATO first strike on Poland. Such a strike was estimated to cause 2 million immediate Polish deaths near the Vistula
Daniel Jones
threat is not how I would put it. again, soviets stopped of their own will. allies clearly wished to fight USSR, but didn't. still > army that fought and won a war > vs an army that did a side show to it eh, you know the drill. bombing cities is the only winning tactic Western allies had going for them, but it's useless against a mobile and well-armed and land army.
true on Americans being pussies too. that's part of the reason they didn't do much in ww2 save for trading and logistics nah, all Russian leaders including Stalin always treated Europe with a softer hand. Stalin would also have used nukes on Japan sooner than in Europe.

>near the Vistula cracow and warsaw, so jews only
Liam Campbell
i think so
Ryder Clark
>Japan fucks things up by quitting
Sigh.

>NATO nuking Poland instead of Soviet occupation army in Germany I know that plans have to have some legend, but for what purpose would NATO do that? "lmao lets nuke civilians just because"?
Noah Sullivan
Taking out cities means taking out future conscripts and workers on military factories, also destroying those factories and logistics. Bombs were slow and imprecise, not possible to effectively target huge land forces with nukes
Isaiah Hughes
this is all japans fault. If they wouldve just surrendered insterad of needing to get HIROSHIMAd, we wouldve put off this stupid fucking arms war for at least another decade
Jaxon Wilson
the cold war predates ww2 retard america has been weary of the soviets ever since the beginnings of their revolution
Carter Thompson
>bombing cities is the only winning tactic Western allies had going for them it's still all they have which is why they keep losing wars. all their tech doesn't win a war, only causes destruction and then they puss out like the faggots they are and run home with their tail between their legs to get shot by jamal hernandez while waiting in line for their big mac.
Adrian Wilson
So all EE would look like Varshava?
Easton Baker
yesh
Luke Myers
that plan was a theoretical retaliation plan it's not like the warsaw pact commanders planned to nuke the fuck out out of everything west of the Oder nuking the vistula valley would mean halting land reinforcement from soviet union so it makes sense
