Yeah, I know that about Spanalot.
But concidering possible confrontation USA-USSR I dont believe that it was possible. Well, US could nuke Moscow but than again, Russians lost 20,000,000 people allready and I dont thinkg they would surrender like Japanese did.

“Russians lost 20,000,000 people allready “

BS - your Great Patriotic War used Ukrainians and Poles as cannon fodder - Far more Ukrainians and Poles died than russians.

“Well, US could nuke Moscow but than again, Russians lost 20,000,000 people already and I dont thinkg they would surrender like Japanese did.”

Let me suggest some real history here, as opposed to fantasy history:

The decision on precisely where US forces in Europe were to go may have been Eisenhower's, but the configuration of post-war Europe had already been decided by Roosevelt-Churchill-Stalin. So even if Ike sent allied forces on to Berlin, he would only have had to immediately withdraw them again.

And in the spring of 1945, the real threat appeared to be coming from southern Germany and Austria. The Nazis were said to have built underground redoubts and were planning to hold out there. That's why Ike went south.

As for starting another war, in May 1945, against the Russians — how can I say this politely enough to get past our ever-vigilant moderator? Sorry, I can't. But you know what I think of that idea, right?
