Even during the Cuban Missile Crisis they had a serious lack of survivable long range delivery systems. Looking at the nuclear ORBAT at the time, the Russians would be lucky to get a dozen nukes delivered to CONUS compared to the thousands the US would have been able to deliver.

"Mr. President, I'm not saying we wouldn't get our hair mussed. But I do say no more than ten to twenty million killed, tops. Uh, depending on the breaks."

Could be total hoax, could be overstated, could be accurate.

Thanks for narrowing it down for us (smile).

The most unhealthy thing he ever did was being born and now it’s gonna kill him.

Time and the Grim Reaper always win in the end.

[Secret Agent Man]

With the Norks its a true wildcard. Seriously.

:)

[Olog-hai]

I wonder if there’s a difference other than time period.

[Celtic Conservative]

Well, he is. But that occurred a long time ago.

When the Korean war started, the Soviets did not have many bombs but they had many times the military strength in East Germany. We (NATO), could not match their numbers and, as a relatively new organisation founded in 1949, NATO had not the ability to co-ordinate the militaries of 12 nations. SHAPE was not even founded until 1951!

Most members of NATO had drastically reduced their militaries after Ww2. The two largest European members had thousands of their troops stationed in their colonies, to try to keep them as colonies! The US had huge numbers of troops occupying Japan, as many as 350,000 by the end of 1945 but reduced somewhat by 1950. The Soviets still had a huge army that could easily overwhelm disorganized NATO forces in Germany. At the very least, in Paris the lingua franca would have been Russian now, if MacArthur had been allowed to nuke China.

But now who takes over?

Truman actually threatened Stalin with nukes in 1946 when Stalin tried to invade Iran.

Stalin backed down.

Truman should've followed through.

[PGalt]

Good news. Thanks for posting.

[blueplum]

Indeed.

Hah!

I think the S*** is really about to hit the fan.

I believe that CCCP see that they are a nanometer away from "Holy Crap, What Do We Do Now?

This could be their Archduke Ferdinand moment.

“Battle-hardened Marines could have ended that overthrow but were not allowed to do so.”

Truman’s good reputation was based as much on fake news as Trump’s bad reputation (among the evil).

It will be difficult to beat out Rep. Patsy Mink (HI) in that regard. The government wouldn’t declare her dead until after the election so the Rat governor could appoint a successor instead of having a new contest for her job.

[dsc]

Still the hero who saved Spain from both Hitler and Stalin, and still dead.

[OrangeHoof]

Who’s his successor

No, WHO is the one conning doctors to believe China.

Third base.

That looks like a hit from Xi the pooh.
