Not if we used Nuclear weapons to end i quickly.

We managed to sneak 2 planes past Japans air defenses. They had heavy anti air defenses in both those cities and at least 20 zeros guarding them. Also im not sure where your getting you plane numbers from. The U.S has close to 300,000 combat air craft towards the end of the war Russia had aroudn 15,000 which they borrowed from the U.S and U.K.

No i’m really not. Close to 50,000 people were killed instantly by little boy around 30,000 more died of radiation posing that day. Lets add to the the psychological impact of knowing they can obliterate thousands of your troops in seconds.

I don’t see any mention of nuclear weapons in that.

Again im not talking about a plan. I’m simply speaking if they just went to war. A nuclear bomb would end the war.

I’m pretty sure that plan was drafted before nukes went public.

at the time we dropped the bomb on japan we had air superiority over japan end of .

now what you’re proposing is flying a nuclear armed bomber from western europe over the iron curtain and over the entire of eastern europe then over major soviet cities and then over moscow and dropping the bomb . without getting shot down . or running out of fuel . thats your plan ? really ? REALLY ?


just think about that for a few more moments

there is more than a few thousand russians im afriad . who were not to bothered about losing 27 million people i doubt 50,000 is going to stop them .

[/quote] the plans were drafted at the highest level of government and never left the highest level of government until they were declassified im sure they were aware of the bombs

The plane had no escorts and fly alone over the city. Both were heavily fortified and had AA guns and at least 20 zeros guarding them.

You mean like after pearl harbor when American sent a fleet of bombers across the Pacific and they go through he defenses and bombed Tokyo that landed in China ? really? REALLY?

Even if they couldn’t get to the major Russian cities they could bomb Russian positions along the front.

Right and Japan was wiling to sacrifice every man women and child in a land invasion plus they were constantly flying planes in our ships for their god emperor yet 2 nukes made the surrender. Japan was easily the most fanatical of all countries during that war yet they were brought to their knees by the nukes.

You clearly have no idea how secret the bombs were. Only a few people even in the top level of government knew about them. The president was often even kept in the dark about them. The generals didn’t know about them until it went public.

Lets also add to the fact that the average Russian troop was very poorly trained. They were often just thrown a rifle and told run at the enemy tell they run out of ammunition.

Lets also add to the fact that a huge portion of Russia’s supplies came from the western allies. Bam they would be cut off.

are you fully aware how many atom bombs the allies actually had at the wars end you seem to think we had hundreds .

[/quote] yes you sent a task force over and the raid did basically fuck all damage but prove a point . and the bombers that carried it out were not cable of carrying an atom bomb which required a specially designed aircraft .

[/quote] indeed they were but russia is no japan , japan was facing complete defeat the USSR would not have been and were developing there own atom bombs .

[/quote] HA these poorly trained troops had just butchered their way across europe and defeated arguably the most advanced military on earth like it was nothing but this stage they were very experienced crack troops you really are something else i have never met anyone with a more simplistic view on miltary strategy in all my life .

[/quote] granted the supplies would be damaging but not war winning im afriad .

i think i will go with the generals opinion over some guy on the internet that think it would be easy to fly a bomber across the soviet union all the way to russia without being shot down by one of the thousands of russia aircraft

The U.N can go fuck its self. Those fucker can shut up about their lost land.

we know the feel . been trying to get us to give in to Argentina over the Falklands for years

We had around 10 i believe we thought we were going to have to use all of them on Japan but the power of them forced them to surrender after 2.

Whats your point? The fact of the matter is we sent a large bomber fleet undetected and bombed Japans capitol at the height of their power.

They did not have atom bombs till the 50s. You say Japan was facing defeat yet they were all willing to die even the civilians who were training with bamboo spears. That shows how terrifying the bombs were if they were able to make them surrender.

Churchill probably did but i doubt Eisenhower did. They told as little people as possibly. They had no reason to tell Eisenhower.

Yes because Germany was getting attacked from 3 different fronts. They were kicking the soviets asses earlier in the war. The soviets did not train their troops well at all. They were given a gun and told to fight.
Sorry if that upsets you but its true. The American and British troops were just as expericened and they also had better training. Russia favored throwing their men at the enemy till they ran out of ammo mean while the U.S and U.K were more conservative with their men.

I am going with a generals opinion. Patton was saying it was possible before he died and Montgomery was agreeing with him. After Patton’s death support for the war against Russia quickly faded.

I never said it would be easy. But it is possible and we did do it several times with Japan. Also your numbers are again wrong. The U.S way out numbered Russia in the air and thats not even counting the other western allies.

It would cripple them horribly. America was pretty much supplying the allies towards the end of the war because every other country was rubble and their factories gone.

nope we had 3 the third was not ready however at the time of the second drop the third was meant to be ready 18th of august another 3 ordered for September and another 3 for October . so to effectively carry out your plan you would of had to wait until September at least by which time the soviet union was digging into its new territory and the chances of getting a plan through were going from impossible to fucking impossible .

[/quote] but they were facing defeat . russia wasnt . japan was preparing to die with honour russia had just crushed an empire and was at the strongest it had ever been .

[/quote] hold on you make a huge error here clearly never studied the eastern front at school .
stalin sacrificed 2 entire armies at the start to simpy slow the germans down the russians at the beginning were ill equipped with basically fuck all ammo they were nothing but cannon fodder until he was sure japan wasnt going to attack from behind . the crack russia troops were stationed in the east . when they came to the eastern front with T-34’s etc the war changed as these were well equipped troops by the wars end all soviet troops were well equipped and extremely experienced

[/quote] better training yes just as experienced no the russians were fighting for longer. both sides were very very good which is why i said it would likely kill more than 60 million

the generals decided it wasnt so please provide sources to back up your claims like i have . the plan was abandoned for a defensive plan to simply make sure russia didnt push anymore ,

[/quote] russia’s facoties were anything but gone warriant if you seriously think russian industry was gone you know nothing of WW2 literately russia picked up their factories and moved them way out east they were untouched as they were out of range of any german bombers they were pushing out thousands of tanks .

im growing bored of this debate . lets move on .

lets talk about how successful president obama has been for the US done wonders

Okay so within a year we would have had 9 by that count.

Kaboom

No the Russian army was exhausted just like their supplies. They got most of their food and vital things like that from the U.S.

Absolutely not. Russia’s favorite tactic was bury the enemies with sheer numbers of tanks and men. U.S and British troops were much better equipped. They suffered horribly from attrition. The U.S still had a huge portion of its millitary in the pacfic and many more men back home.

Not talking about the plan Churchill drafted. Im simply talking about beating Russia. Part of the reason Patton was dismissed is because he was saying we should go kick Russia’s ass.

You said Russia outnumbered the allies in the air which is false. The western allies would gain air superiority quite quickly.

What good is a tank if the guy driving it doesn’t get his food ? Or if that tanks runs out of gas?

“To sum up, European settlers came to the New World for a variety of reasons, but the thought of infecting the Indians with deadly pathogens was not one of them. As for the charge that the U.S. government should itself be held responsible for the demographic disaster that overtook the American-Indian population, it is unsupported by evidence or legitimate argument. The United States did not wage biological warfare against the Indians; neither can the large number of deaths as a result of disease be considered the result of a genocidal design”. - See more at: http://historynewsnetwork.org/article/7302#sthash.bHMawgPP.dpuf

that is 7 not 9 :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

when did i say that ? i said you didnt have air superiority over the soviet union

Still thats seven aces up their sleeve.

But we did thats the thing. Russia air force pretty much consisted of borrowed planes. We had far more than the did and thats still not counting how many planes the U.K had.

Stalin obviously feared the bomb Truman used it as leverage to get the Soviets involved in the war with Japan.

but you didnt have air superiority over the soviet union your not processing that are you . it would take time to fully defeat the russian airforce .

We far out numbered them in the air is what i’m saying. Lets also add that our pilots were more experienced in dog fights. (many U.S air men fought in the battle of Britain or the Pacific) Most of Germanys air force was fighting the western allies.

incorrect . the us didnt want russia involved in the war with japan infact its one of the deciding factors of why you dropped it in the first place as russia was getting in position to help the invasion and would of demanded more land which the us didnt want to give

excuse me !!! 9 us pilots fought in the battle of Britain
Their combined score by the end of the battle was two definite destroyed German aircraft, five probable destroyed with two damaged.

yes that doesnt mean you hold air superiority over the soviet union territory
