But more importantly, he seemed to believe war with Russia was inevitable hence, the strategy of act first. He once stated, “If you say why not bomb tomorrow, I say why not bomb them today? If you say today at five o’clock, I say why not one o’clock?” In saying this Neumann was likely virtue signaling anti-communist sentiments, a prominent political attitude at the time. John Von Neumann was the co-creator of game theory and an architect of the US nuclear strategy.
