The letter signed by Einstein (1) was literally what motivated FDR to a course of action which became the Manhattan Project, as made clear by FDR himself (2).
As most will not read the links below, despite tremendous historical importance, Einstein specifically recommended 2 things:
* secure a uranium ore supply for the US, and
* speed up this line of research (that leads to a bomb).
Please explain to me how this isn't advocating for the development of a nuclear bomb?
