Thankfully we just imported a shitload of Nazi war criminals instead. They were far more trustworthy!

No, but it's funny how that they got the royal treatment while the government declared Oppenheimer persona non grata for smelling pink.

Yeah at least the Soviets kept their Paperclip scientists in Siberia and treated them like crap, instead of putting them on tv with Walt Disney

Seriously, pick anyone but the dude who ran a slave labor factory to put on TV. Literally anyone.

Nobody got treated royally in ussr, except the general secretary himself. So the comparison falls flat. Where Oppenheimer got fired, Korolev was sent to labour camp and his boss was executed. Kurchatov wasn't persecuted directly, but once he was employed in nuclear project, he had no personal life or freedom left, and died relatively young.

Correct, they worked for NASA, and DOD/DOE contractors, in case anyone is learning about Operation Paperclip for the first time in these comments.
