Pesonal opinion yes. that is what the bombs were developed for. they were developed due to the fear of hitler developing them first. Truman, and his advisors, intention was to scare stalin, so probably would have been used in europe as this would have had more of an impact on stalin than when they were used against japan. if your interested in this subject i suggest you read a book by Gar Alperowitz called Atomic Diplomacy.
