Absolutely unreal exchange. No notes.
We all know that once the US invented nukes, they would've gotten rid of them were it not for those meddlesome Russians
The US, famously an arbiter of peace, has only been at war for something like 95% of it's existence
What’s incredible is that the complete opposite is actually true. Both Khrushchev and Gorbachev made very serious efforts to eliminate all nuclear weapons; and I sincerely believe the USSR would have gone along with a nuclear-free world. But the Americans told them to get lost. Reagan made a proposal to Gorbachev (with a straight face, no less) that involved the Soviets first getting rid of all their nukes, then the US would follow suit.
im fairly sure nothing in there is correct, dont know much about nazi nuke tests though, but ill go out on a limb and say that amerikkka definitely wouldve made nukes with or without the nazis doing any reserch into them
The last line is almost true if you take away the bit about Stalin being a psychopath. Stalin saved the world from fascism, which is the exact reason the US killed more than 200,000 Japanese people and laid nuclear siege to the USSR, to make sure they didn't save the world from capitalism too.
It's just fanfiction honestly
I just read that comment and closed the thread.
Ha... yeah... over 31,000 at their peak, and then they decide nobody in the world should be allowed to wield that kind of power... expect for those who already have them.
And the US will absolutely revoke that agreement if they ever decide it's "inconvenient."
I am 100% certain that if the Soviets never developed nukes, Eisenhower would have started dropping nukes on Moscow until they got a complete unconditional surrender.
