The US had momentum, was supplying the Soviets, had the bluff of the weapons (Soviets had no clue how many the US had) and the US could have engaged in war and then started building more and then using them. It’s also entirely possible that they could have just straight up won a conventional war. They opted not to. Moreso the US would have continued building atomic bombs and would had had enough to win a nuclear exchange with the Soviets and very well could have put an end to any nuclear proliferation and “nuked half the world”. But they didn’t. They chose peace and ending war instead.
