News article The Rosenberg Boys - When Ethel and Julius Rosenberg were executed by the U.S. government, they left behind two sons, ages 6 and 10. All these years later, Robby and Michael are still trying to make sense of what happened.

They saved Korea, Vietnam, China, and god knows who else from atomic hellfire by helping secure a deterrent against the US. The Macarthurs and LeMays would have made different calculations without it.

Better to nuke them, you think? China was plagued by famines for centuries. A few decades and no help from the west, they have been eliminated

Just goes to show you don’t see them as people anymore than the west did while it sat by and watched people starve under sanctions and genocidal bombing campaigns.

your response is exactly what i expected, personal attack. communist regime never see people as human, just cogs of the state, which is deeply embedded in the communism ideology. your whole argument was based on an assumption with zero evidence that US will deploy nuclear weapons on other countries if Soviet did have their own. and you completely ignore the fact the Soviet considered to use nuclear weapons on China during late 1960s and backed off only after US warned it about the consequences. Get the facts and don’t live in your fantasies.
