The United States would have nuked the USSR if he tried.
That period between the the Trinity tests and the first successful Soviet bomb was insane. It wasn't just the military and government, either. Citizens were enthusiastically talking about using nukes, the press called for it with any and every geopolitical development.
Considering Truman sucked, I think he would have gotten the US into another war in Europe regardless of the opinion of the people. Popular opinion didn't stop the US in other countries.
Yeah every time I see that posted, I know it its just an edgy thing to say, but I can't help but just wonder if they wanted Stalin to cause the USSR to get nuked. Hell it took a decade or more for the USSR to even catch up with the USA in terms of a nuclear stock pile.
It's a flippant way to say that you're upset or outraged or just exhausted by the behavior of something done by Europe. It's not intended to be taken as a serious statement. I think most people understand that the Red Army was exhausted and that the political, logistical, and most importantly social situation called for an end to hostilities.
