Well, that's good thinking.
Not sure the East Germans or Poles or Hungarians, etc. would have thanked us at the time -- or even in retrospect, with perfect knowledge of their possible alternate future.
Oh -- you mean "wherever we think Stalin is" (i.e. drop it on Russia) -- pretty sure the average Russian would not have thanked us at the time -- or even in retrospect.

I never said that we would drop Atomic bombs on Eastern Europe. We got the Japanese out of China without dropping Atomic bombs on China. Why couldn't we have gotten Russia out of the Ukraine, the Balkins and Eastern Europe using the same strategy?
We only killed 200,000 Japanese to pull the Japanese out of a great deal of Asia (except for the few parts we had reconqured - mainly the phillipines).
Killing 200,000 Russians to get the Russians out of Eastern and central europe and getting rid of the communist dictatorship would have been a bargain. After the war Stalin was probably killing 200,000 people a month (maybe even a week).
