Soviets/Communists were hand in hand together just a few years later from Neumann's death, 1962 in fact, probably even months to years earlier as we know now that the Communists did successfully transport nuclear armaments to Cuba, fully capable of launched.

The question (that we know the answer to as well) during that period is if they would pull the trigger, and from a few parties involved, they would have. Neumann was right in my opinion, and the Communists of the world at the time were absolutely a hazard to humanity, at the very least the humanity that lived in North America.

I truly think the only reason why we are here today is MAD.
