Wasn't long after Patton posed that question that he had an "accident" and later died from an embolism. He always said that he had no political ambitions and that Eisenhower would never be President while he were alive.!
Soviet did have one damn imposing army in europe and the best mass produced tank of the war. I dont think anyone wanted to get into such a war when the outcome might have very well been europe totaly occupied by the soviets.

Offcourse you guys had the bomb, but not yet the capability to produce enough of them quickly.
