They would be the tragedy of US metal. We'd wonder what they could have done after five great albums, an unblemished legacy to stand up to the best of the Scandinavians.
Stalin had the ability to find Zhukov, recognize his abilities, and put him in charge. He didn't however take decisive action until it was almost too late, and this delayed response cost Russia dearly. Plus his purges had deeply weakened the armed forces.

Not so. The seismographic evidence would be unmistakable. A 3.8 megaton bomb is a 6.0-6.5 magnitude earthquake if all the energy is coupled to motion of the earth. Assuming 1% of the energy is coupled, then 4.0 magnitude earthquake. That will be detected, and given the region it takes place in...
The United States government would be caught with its pants down. Having reassured the public that nuclear testing was safe they would have been crucified in the press for killing rich white people with cancer. The Nuclear Disarmament movement would grow overnight, and the United States...
