    well there is this plan which was apparently intentional disinformation (idk enough to say whether the 'intentional disinformation' angle is american copium or not, i read somewhere on one of these articles that 'truman was shocked at the lack of nuclear arms stocks' for some of these plans):

    there is also Operation Dropshot which was considered and then abandoned:

    another article about Dropshot, that also mentions Churchill's Operation Unthinkable:

      From Plan Totality:

      However, this plan was actually a disinformation ploy. After the two atomic bombings of Japan during August of 1945, the United States government did not have any nuclear weapons ready for use.

      The disinformation part is what, that they didn't have enough nukes to genocide the Soviets, or that they weren't actually going to do it? Because this all implies they were going to if only they had nukes
