I doubt that going to war with the Soviets would have been an extremely popular idea in 1945. The U.S. only got into WWII because it had been attacked. And after four years of very costly warfare it's unlikely that the American people would have cheered at the idea of launching a war of aggression against the Soviet Union.
Besides, the idea has something disturbingly Orwellian. A "perpetual war" where your closest allies become your fiercest enemies from one day to the next.
