For the same reason we dropped two on Japan ... fear.
Fear to continue on that is. |
Dropping something of that magnitude is just to close for Russia's comfort. The fallout alone would not play favorites over the border. The area it was dropped would be useless for decades. Look at Cherynobal (SP). Japan was on the other side of the world for the Americans. The A bomb was not of the size of this one. The damage radius was somewhat known. The lasting effects of radiation was not. I think the Russians are a bit wiser as to the after effects of a weapon like this. Fear or not, I just do not see the Russians dropping this bomb in their backyard.
