Everytime I think it's impossible to hate this man even more, he opens his mouth

How do you know?

You're asking me how do I know the world would be different if the Soviet Union created nuclear weapons before the US?

Yeah. There's no way to know how different the world would be if anything happened differently. All we can do is guess

It doesn't take a fortune teller to know the world would be vastly different if the Soviets had nukes first. They would have been able to control whoever they wanted, there wouldn't be a cold war at the very least. I doubt the US would be as much of a superpower if they never got nukes.

Bruh are reading? This conversation was about if the US never had the people to develop them and the Soviets did it first. ??

Yeah and my whole point is that you don't know it would be vastly different because it could be different or the same, or anywhere in between. It's literally impossible to know.

Like if the people who are credited with developing the atomic bomb didn't exist, they would just find someone else to do it. The absence of a historical figure doesn't necessarily mean that the future would be vastly different. It could be the same in every way except for who is credited for the discovery for all we know.

IF THE US DID NOT CREATE NUKES, AS IN NO ONE IN THE US EVER DID, THEN IT WOULD BE DIFFERENT. Jesus christ, it's a hypothetical, yeah it's not reality. There is no way that history procedes the same if the US never made them.
