No Bomb - ???Post War East Europe???

?WI the US had never had the Manhattan Project, or the Bomb wasn't ready in 1945? {Make up your own reasons here}

If the US is busy Invading Japan. and Russia is busy in Korea --?What does this do to Post War Europe?
 
Russia had occupied Eastern Europe before they invaded Manchuria and Korea and the southern half of Sakhalin and the Kuriles. If we don't get the bomb, they will still be in Eastern Europe.
Unless we use the resources we used to make the bomb to invade earlier in 1943 instead of 1944 and conquer Eastern Europe instead of them.
 
In August and Septembre of 1945, the US was rapidly pulling troops out of Europe and sending them home or to the Pacific.
If whe have to invade japan this will continue.
As such the US will have a much smaller force level in Europe 1946.
Whe will also be involved in Japan, and Russian moves in East Europe or Greece to destabilize the post war governments will be ignored.
There probably will be no or a reduced Marchall Plan.
Maybe no NATO.

OTL they was a lot of fear of Italy going Commie. ?In this case could that happen?. ?Any other changes?
