Arguing that nukes don’t exist? Or they’re not as powerful as claimed?
The argument is that nuclear bombs can't exist
For nuclear bombs to exist, nuclei need to exist.
I don't necessarily believe that physics & chemistry have a perfect understanding But I do believe in nuclear generation of electricity Should I not?
Same, I also believe you can get tons of energy out of uranium etc... Just don't believe it's particles dancing around that are doing the trick.
Have you read this? I just heard the claim that nukes don't actually exist for the first time on a podcast the other day. I enjoyed this wide-ranging episode and was tracking with Peter Duke until he went there, and then I thought he had gone into crazy-land (and I think the host thought so, too). https://fountain.fm/episode/vFQ1ln3nH3GbJwlhFtP3
Very interesting, but I would protest that continuity of symbols doesn't prove continuity of command
