      FDR was surprisingly receptive to the idea. He asked Bohr to meet with Churchill and report back. Bohr, with Lord Cherwell, met Churchill and tried to convince him. 5/n

      Bohr argued secrecy was futile since the Soviets would be able to develop their own atom bomb within a decade. Churchill would hear none of it. The dejected Bohr informed FDR about the meeting through Frankfurter. FDR reassured Bohr and expressed his desire to meet again. 7/n

      Shortly afterwards, FDR and Churchill met to discuss the nuclear question. A short, secret agreement was reached: The nuclear program will continue to be secret. The US&UK will continue to cooperate on weapons development after the war. Bohr will be put under surveillance. 8/n

      Scientists wishing to influence statesmen’s judgments did not succeed because they did not understand the underlying political calculation the statesmen were weighing and how they would view new evidence presented to them in the context of prior geopolitical understanding. 10/n

      With the benefit of historical hindsight, we know that in fact Stalin already knew about the Manhattan Project and had spies reporting to him. 11/n

      Perhaps Churchill and Roosevelt would have gone along with Bohr’s plan for cooperation with the Soviets not on the basis of any new technical information, but rather if they had been convinced that in fact Stalin already knew their secret. 12/n

      This thread is part of a series on Bismarck Analysis’ case study on the development of nuclear weapons. Check out the other threads in the quote tweet here: https://twitter.com/SamoBurja/status/1388211279307984899 … You can read the full case study here: https://www.bismarckanalysis.com/Nuclear_Weapons_Development_Case_Study.pdf …

      Long before the first atom bombs were used in 1945, nuclear scientists tried to prevent a world where opposed military powers had nuclear weapons. They failed. Why?

      Replying to @SamoBurja

      if scientists had some new weapons development, on the scale of nukes, or a new bioweapon, or the hardware and ai behind a fully autonomous drone, how could they keep it from being usurped and abused by governments? or is it basically impossible
