It's bullshit. First, we had friggin nukes, and the Soviets still didn't have any long-range bombers worth the name. Second, IF we had had time to redeploy (and fully mobilize) then the US/UK (plus commonwealths) would have far more population and far more troops, potentially, then the Soviet Union.

I'm not saying by any means that it's some kind of cakewalk. FAR from it, but



IS COMPLETELY WRONG.


Edit to note that Russia would have zero capacity to launch any kind of amphibious assault against England, much less cross the ocean and attack the U.S. Their "navy" at the end of WWII was a complete joke. Like basically non-existent.

Since you didn't read Otters hypothetical, he asked what would've happened had the two allied. And that answer is simple: they'd have overrun Europe (including England) in a matter of weeks.


Your nuke rebuttal won't work because by the time America developed and tested it, we were already deep in 1944. All allied lands would've already been conquered and hence those forces would've been impossible to dislodge. If you're arguing for raining nukes down on Berlin and Moscow, they'd retaliate instantly by liquidating allied civilian populations under their control.
