    It's a good read, but the last part is important to know:
    "Woe is me," Einstein said after learning of the attack, according to AMNH.

    He later expressed remorse for recommending that the US start its own nuclear program, telling Newsweek, "Had I known that the Germans would not succeed in developing an atomic bomb, I would have done nothing."

    Szilard and his fellow Hungarian-born physicist Eugene Wigner both expressed their agreement with Einstein's statements,

    Yes. Having nukes is terrible.

    Imagine, without them, the US & Europe would have already jumped in at
    Ukraine war, destroyed Russian military, taken back Karelia and killed
    Putin. The world would be just swell. Thanks, Einstein.

    with some assurances that the other ones that have it as well won't risk using them to stop the attackers. So it's always about testing the thresholds assuming stable testing rules every time without new surprises.Unfortunately we know they were used
    before and they will be used again but the difference is that next time all the players will participate.-- ----Android NewsGroup Reader----https://piaohong.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/usenet/index.html
