    Churchill (may he rest in piss) asked the British General Staff to plan out "Operation Unthinkable", a surprise attack by the US and UK against the USSR in 1945. Even taking into account the rearming of 10 Nazi divisions, the General Staff said that the plan had almost no chance of success and it was quickly discarded.

        Don't think the soviet union would mount a counterinvasion against the US at that time, as they and all of Europe would be reeling from an even worse WW2. It would probably just lead to an even worse cold war, and even more horrifying conquest of south america to bolster US power.
