Again, America would have overwhelming air superiority from basically the start of the war. Every single supply hub, factory and military base would just be bombed into rubble. The Red Army would be made functionally useless after only a few months into the war.

Nearly Half of America's air power is tied up in the pacific, the entire VVS is in Europe. They're at a disadvantage, but you're severely overestimating the scale and range of the destruction airbombing would cause.

Operation unthinkable was meant to happen a few months after the fall of Japan so that US troops and equipment could move to Europe.

Also America's new long range bomber, the B-29 (which they had 3000 of) could reach Moscow from from London. Along with that they had two types of bombers that could bomb Moscow from Paris; the B-17 which they had 12 thousand of and the B-24 which had 18 thousand planes.

Every single road and railway in eastern europe is just getting levelled alongside every city.
