        @PresHarryTruman Stalin already knew all about the A-bomb, of course, due to agents embedded in the Manhattan Project.

        @PresHarryTruman Stalin knew more about the #ManhattanProject than he (could afford to) let on. #AtomicSecrets #KlausFuchs

        That's Harry Truman being slow and simple-minded. The Societs had at least 3 spies feeding info back to USSR from 1943 on.

        Poor old Harry. Stalin through his spies knew about it all along. So many commies in sensitive places,

        Old news I'm afraid. Guess the message was scrawled or printed elsewhere as well.

        Stalin might have needed to check his pants. I suspect that they were on fire. Got in a ferocious argument about Hiroshima.

        isn't it accepted today that Stalin had knowledge of efforts at Alamogordo before actual dropping of atomic bombs over Japan?
