If you did want to post a question here that wouldn't get deleted, that might be useful for answering this question, you could phrase it less about hypotheticals and more about the reality. For example, "what were the barriers to the Soviet Union getting an atomic bomb? What set the timetable of them acquiring their bomb in the postwar?"

Sorry, but your submission has been removed because we don't allow hypothetical questions. This sort of thing is better suited for /r/historicalwhatif.
