>between 1945 and 1949 the US had a window of opportunity where they were the only country with nuclear weapons and could easily destroy the USSR and conquer the world
How would the world look like today if the US then wasn't infiltrated by soviet-jewish agents and used this opportunity?
>>
>could easily destroy the USSR
It took them like 3 weeks to produce one nuke. Let's say they waited a couple of years and stockpiled a 25 nukes. That still wouldn't be enough to completely crush the USSR and the USSR would retaliate by invading Europe. USA would become a pariah state.

imagine being so butthurt that bourgeois Russians don't privately own a textile factory that you're willing to nuke the world over it

US nuclear build up was extremely limited to the point the third bomb the US was going to drop on Japan befored they surrendered wasn't even fully ready yet, it also runs into the other issue of you need to secure air dominance to fully use since you needed good old bombers for, in which case you will need air strips which would require the army to get involved meaning you had to hope the American public, and the public in Western Europe to approve of another war, which was never going to happen

Among who? There was no "international community" yet since that's basically an American invention itself. Geopolitics was ruled by mutual defense pacts rather than some elected officials who "condemned" national governments. Nobody back then gave a shit if you bombed or conquered your weak neighbor unless it directly affected their national security. This is also why Wilson's League of Nations ultimately failed. The US didn't have the power or desire to be world police in the 1910s.

>Among who?
Among the European nations being dragged into a third world war because of your retarded nuclear bomb campaign

Have you ever seen a map of the number of divisions the Soviets had in Germany in 1945 versus the number of divisions the Western Allies had man
And if the US started throwing nukes around Stalin would rush nuke tech faster than he did in our TL

>we will make a pariah state out of the only superpower that has the industrial capacity to wage war on the communists
The European sphere of influence no longer existed. They were at the mercy of America or the USSR whether they liked it or not.

>And if the US started throwing nukes around Stalin would rush nuke tech faster than he did in our TL
Especially since all the communist fellow travelers in the US nuclear program would be handing over secrets even faster than they already did if the US suddenly decided to fulfil Hitler's ambition to exterminate international bolshevism.

>Among the European nations
Wow, it's literally nothing. Even in 2026 it would be a small effect but in 1945 with them still being war ravaged it would be literally nothing.
>>
>>18438404
and once the bullts ran out? Mind you the reserves were also gone and 25M-30M dead in the past 5 years

Nuking lolcow would have been sufficient.

>>18437104
The window of opportunity was lost by FDR. He kept sucking Stalins dick AND lost China to the communist by sucking Chiang kai sheks dick too long. The US would have lost Japan to the Soviets had the bombs not been dropped.

>The US didn't have the power or desire to be world police in the 1910s
They also didn't have the will or desire to start a giant fucking war immidiately after they just finished the biggest war in history.
