How do so few have nuclear/wmd's?

[Irongrip400]

I'm watching a program on PBS now about hydrogen, atom, nuclear bombs. We had this shit in the 40's and so did Russia, so how are there so few countries with these capabilities? Why the fuck is North Korea so worthless and shoots off that little popcorn fart they lit off and threatened us with?

It's the money and the engineering skill required.

The physics part is easy.   "There are no secrets in physics."   -A Einstein

Mass243, turn this shit on, they're showing old Russian footage of marching troops and rolling out missiles at the kremlin. Tsar Bomba now being shown.

It's the materials and the engineering of the centrifuge to enrich it. A small nuke can cause a lot of damage. Imagine the economic collapse this country would fall into if one third of Manhattan was blown up?

If that ever happened IMO we would turn the entire middle east into glass and that would be the end of that.

Because it IS rocket science and the USA & Russia have actively worked together to not let other countries build nukes.

really? did you see what DHS just did ?

"A Department of Homeland Security program intended to give "trusted traveler" status to low-risk airline passengers soon will be extended to Saudi travelers, opening the program to criticism for accommodating the country that produced 15 of the 19 hijackers behind the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks."

the day that we dont need or dont buy any oil from them is the day we will finally be able to stop these terror networks, till then we are busy kissing their ass, its a big shame, im from ny, i remember that day all too well, if not for saudi and their oil we would of gone into saudi as well, then again IF NOT FOR OIL MONEY THESE PEOPLE WOULD BE BUSY HUNTING FOR FOOD AND NOT HAVE NO TIME OR MONEY TO COMMIT 911

i hope and pray everyday we can find an alt. for oil!

that would not happen, a terrorist attack even if nuclear would not initiate a nuclear response, too many fucking hippies being listened too.

Rocket science we got from zee Germans.
