I was thinking more along the lines of the ensuing nuclear arms race, nuclear proliferation, MAD, etc. The fact that the bomb worked, and worked so well (regardless of its effect on the outcome of the war) definitely contributed to this. Sure, if it hadn't worked, they may have tried again, and the next attempt may have led to all these things, but fact is, it DID work, and everyone in these photos contributed to it (knowingly or unknowingly).
