I saw Godzilla Minus One in the theater in December and loved it - although being the AH nerd I am one bit perplexed me. The reason the film gives for the American occupational forces in Japan not engaging Godzilla is that the US is afraid to piss off the Soviets.
Wouldn't Godzilla be the perfect test case for the newly formed United Nations Security Council? I can't see anyone boycotting the vote on a use of force here in the way the Soviets did re: Korea in OTL. Indeed I think that the Soviets would be eager to take a giant monster down; if he can rampage Tokyo, he can rampage Vladivostok (with its attendant naval base), and I don't believe there's any evidence of Godzilla respecting maritime boundaries.
That, and MacArthur would just try to nuke him.
