Yes, to beat the nazis to the invention. Cause there's nothing worse than nazis with nukes

I know, that's what he says in the letter.

... you linked the wiki under a post that jokingly stated that Einstein was confounded by the invention of the bomb. Without additional context, it seemed to me like you were implying he was blanket endorsing the creation of the bomb. So I put that info out there to clarify his stance without anyone needing to open an additional link.

I wasn't being sassy or nothing, just adding context.

... Okay, a little bit sassy, but that's just how I roll, no shade intended.

I was unnecesarily agressive, I'm sorry.

My point is that he was fully aware of it, and endorsed the bomb, so the meme doesn't make much sense IMO. But your comment is on point, there was a huge risk of the nazis with nuclear bombs.
