  1.  @sifuhotman1300  the Americans only had a few nukes at the time and weren't willing to fight the Russians after a world War plus their economies would have been pushed to brink

  6.  @sifuhotman1300  and there were only 3 nukes wich wouldn't really be significant just 3 Russian cities partially destroyed thats it, unless nuke Moscow decapitating the entire Soviet leadership in one blow, the head of the snake or not as important but economicly hurtful oil city Baku the former being more preferable if not the best option if it is defeating the Russians if at all If push against Moscow is attempted Allies suffer more casualties Russians would still outnumber the Americans but combined with other allies Russia 170 million, America 140 million, British Empire 400 million, French Empire around 300 million then the Allies in total would outnumber the Russians. So Russians invade, push into France up to Paris Allied planes bomb Soviet supply line and units while they enjoy shorter supply lines, Allies invade, push into Poland up to Warsaw Russian planes bomb Allied supply lines and units while they enjoy shorter supply lines whoever attacked first would strategically have a great advantage it was more of a big risk not worth taking cuz Europe (including Britain) and Russia was already devastated by a world War no one wanted to fight another world War

  7. But at the time itd be determined by strength of industrial production and stability of supply lines as in all modern wars

  9.  @sifuhotman1300  if I understand correctly individually Russia has a total population of 170 million and America 140 million seems like USSR has a higher population than USA
