It was 70 years ago that Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were executed for espionage, accused of providing classified information about atomic bomb technology to the Soviet Union.

What was the charge against Julius and Ethel Rosenberg? Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, a New York couple, were charged with conspiracy to commit espionage, specifically for their alleged involvement in passing atomic bomb secrets to the Soviet Union.

What evidence was presented against the Rosenbergs during their trial?

The main evidence presented against the Rosenbergs was the testimonies of several witnesses, including Ethel Rosenberg's brother, David Greenglass. Greenglass, a former machinist at the Los Alamos laboratory, claimed that he provided Julius with information about the atomic bomb design. Other evidence included intercepted Soviet intelligence messages and testimonies of cooperating witnesses.

What is the ongoing debate about the guilt of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg? Decades after their execution, the guilt of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg remains a subject of ongoing debate. Some argue that the evidence presented against the couple was insufficient and that their trial was influenced by anti-Communist hysteria.

Only Communists think that. They were guilty as the day is long.

Julius Rosenberg was an engineer for the U.S. Army Signal Corps who was born in New York on May 12, 1918. His wife, born Ethel Greenglass, also in New York, on September 28, 1915, worked as a secretary. The couple met as members of the Young Communist League, married in 1939 and had two sons.

Ever since the USSR fell and the Verona papers that were held by the KGB established factually without a doubt that they were spying for the USSR and turned over the atomic bomb docs which was further confirmed by former KGB officials, their apologists here, including their 2 sons, quickly changed their tune from they were innocent of spying to the documentation they stole was not sufficient by itself to build the bomb. Thus, they should have lived.

What does this have to do with the collapse of NATO and the Ukrainian military?

“Wish they were alive so we could fry them again”

Why? You can get the information over the net:

No secret is safe especially if it is a weapon. Most of the world has access to nuclear weapons now and a number of countries have a couple of thousands of them like the US. We openly admit we have tactical nuclear weapons at five bases in five NATO member countries,
Belgium, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, and Turkey. We used to have them in the UK and France, but they have their own now.

And there are a few countries that can’t feed their people or are rogue enough to detonate one like China, India, and Pakistan which has the largest collection of nuclear scientists in the world. And our main problem right now,
China, has had nuclear capacity since 1964. Times change. Guess the word got out without the Rosenberg’s help anyway.

Always do, every year. Plus, let's not forget the fact that today is also National Martini Day. Another reason to celebrate.

“What is the ongoing debate about the guilt of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg? Decades after their execution, the guilt of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg remains a subject of ongoing debate.”
There is no “ongoing debate about the[ir] guilt.”
The Venona Papers proved their guilt even to the point where their two sons gave up and acknowledged their parents’ guilt.
The only ones still maintaining their innocence are a few very hard core communists in the Rosenberg family.
This is a bull shiite piece of propaganda from today’s Democrat/communists who want to prove what a terrible country America has always been. As always they are lying.

The Venona decrypts proved beyond any doubt that yes, they were communist spies and yes, they passed nuclear secrets to the Soviets. Obviously, the government could not present this evidence at trial because it was secret at the time that we had recorded and then later decrypted all the Venona transmissions.

Oh by the way, Alger Hiss was undoubtedly a Communist spy. That was proven conclusively after the fall of the Soviet Union.

Truman should have let Patton go into Russia then also prevent Mao frrom defeating Chang Kai Check(Sp). Nip the whole thing in the bud.
