It was more like 3 for the US. The Manhattan Project began in 1942, though scientists at places like Berkeley and Chicago had been working on bomb design basically since fission was discovered in 1938.

If not for people like Fuchs and the Rosenbergs, we might not have ever had the Cold War.

Negative. The Russkies had excellent physicists and certainly would have figured it out on their own. Fuchs only provided a shortcut, probably not more than a small handful of years.

By the way, Fuchs was a 1940's SJW. You can just imagine him today marching with ANTIFA at Berkeley

They said the equivalent of that about Oppenheimer and half the scientists who worked on The Manhattan Project. It was extremely common for academics to flirt with the Communist party in the 1930s. It didn't amount to anything for the vast majority.
