DBWI: Truman decides to nuke Japan

OOC:

Indeed that last post was demented. Stalin knew the full details on the A-Bomb and the Soviet had their own bomb project up and running by 1942. Hampered only by the war effort & lack of uranium.

I also call bullshit on the idea of Stalin starting a war in 1948. The U.S.S.R was utterly spent. However powerful Stalin was, he could not on his own start WW3 if the enitre party & military were against it. He'd be bumped off in short order, trust me...


OOC: Seems to me this is a Berlin Airlift gone very wrong, ending in a US convoy driving to Berlin and reigniting WWII. The Idea of pushing the US hard, after six years of war and its will at its weakest, doesn't strike me as ASB. A war developing when the relief attempt turns into a ground campaign, and then any hope of peace crushed by US use of nuclear weapons

Nither side had the cold hard will to ignite WW3 right after WW2. Even when US troops dying in their thousands in Korea fighting a Soviet armed PRC & DPRK.

The Berlin Airlift starting an all-out war is ASB. One side or the other will back down. Even if shooting starts it'll be smoothed over. The Politburo and Red Army brass wernt morons, even Stalin could be prevented form pushing things too far if eveyone stands against him.
