<Snipped quote by Prawn>
That would have been interesting to see because at that time the reds would have won.
Considering the fact that the Allied forces were exhausted and tired from fighting their way through France and Germany, I think it would have been a disaster. Have you read up on Operation Unthinkable? It was a proposed attack on the Soviet Union, pushed for by none other than Winston Churchill. Fortunately, the Americans dismissed it as unfeasible and never even considered doing it.
By 1945, everyone was tired of war - and it was only a few warmongers (i.e. Patton and Churchill) who wanted to keep it going. There was even talk of rearming the Germans against the Soviet Union. That's where the danger lies, with individuals who think that unwinnable wars
can be won - and in the nuclear age that is a catastrophic mentality to possess.
And here we are, North Korea and America each staring down the barrel of a gun.
