Why yes, the US did force 'trust' in American dominance by leaving millions of people dead in the wake of the Cold War following WWII, what an astute observation.
Not to mention multiple atrocities by the US which added to those millions, including use of the atomic bomb on a city full of civilians, twice, primarily for Cold War posturing against the Soviets and to steal credit for defeating Japan. Not to mention re-establishing colonial rule over the Philippines which would be instrumental in the Korean and Vietnam wars.
US atrocities all the way down is apparently "understanding restraint with power"
Restraint is when you drop an atomic bomb, see the catastrophic effects of it, and deciding "Hey, let's do that again!" The amount of restraint not to do it a third time must have been truly monumental.
GOD BLESS AMERICA
The reason was that America didn't have a third functional nuclear device at the time.
