America's Missing Nukes by Lazerpig - Reaction

[@edim108]

That last bit about 2 students being able to cobble together a functional nuclear bomb in 2 years is honestly terrifying to think of...

[@brendenbradach]

Ya but it sounds like they had the material but it took them 2 years to make the shaped core plus the main trigger charge and those are known to be very specially shaped yield charges. That was a whole episode of Sliders back in the day there was a whole world without nukes since no one had figured that part out.

[@djchappell1726]

There was an incident where a boy scout created a functioning nuclear reactor, and possibly an enrichment device. I know that that caused quite the flip for a time.

[@EloquentTroll]

@@djchappell1726 he was enriching Americium from smoke detectors. Not going to give you a nuke but it can raise the cancer risk of your entire neighborhood.

[@Azrazel_qwp]

I know of at least one time, where a University student, for his research paper, created a detailed step-by-step list on how to build a nuclear bomb. He got an A and his research paper was never to be seen again.

16:25 Lazerpig actually misses out on a big part of the double flash incident, South Africa. The detonation happened off the coast of the Indian ocean, which is to the direct east of SA, as well as during the time of the double flash the SA government was secretly conducting a nuclear program. Only years later did they come out and say they had usefully developed their own nukes, except they had never tested them. So the theory goes that during this program they actually tested one nuke out in the Indian ocean to make sure they worked the way they wanted, and thus never owned up to it as any such action would have been a international incident that would have gotten them sanctioned by most world powers. Interestingly enough, South Africa is the only nation to have developed their own nuclear program, and then completely denuclearized. While Canada was one of the first to remove nukes from their nation, they were all American made.

[@RipOffProductionsLLC]

One detail not mentioned about nukes here is that they intrinsically have a shelf life due to the radioactive materials in the core undergoes radioactive decay, and depending on the particular bomb design said radioactivity might even damage other components of the bomb. Normally this is fixed by regular replacement of the core and other effected components, but a lost warhead won't be getting that. After a decade the nuke will be useless without a lot of work to reprocess the core onto a new smaller core and redesigning the bomb to fit that new core(which fair enough would be easier then building a nude from scratch, but still)

[@Wolfbroa]

It’s always fun to mention to people that both USA and user/Russia have lost a total like 100-120 nuclear weapons and like 20-40 have completely vanished

[@Birb_of_Judge]

100-120 that we know of

[@cerberus0225]

I recently was introduced to Lazerpig by a friend. I have no watched all of Lazerpig's content. Please provide me with an excuse to watch it all again!

[@jeff2146]

I would recommend the video on the Pentomic army by Battle Order form some real nuclear nightmare fuel.

[@papajack222]

Oh fuck yes!

[@GregPrice-ep2dk]

I love how you cracked up when the Soviet anthem kicked in.

[@firestorm5371]

Nukes are by the way really easy to make, the problem is to get the material for it.

[@DeHerg]

Wait, you have a reaction to his t-34 vid, or just watched private without recording?

[@requiemlul3140]

Now I haven’t seen the full video, but if this is already concerning, watch John Oliver’s segment on nukes.

[@dkbros1592]

My buts clunch hearing this and remember that where r those missing nukes well toady they might be dud because if selflife

[@georgestefanou4250]

You need to more lazerpig videos my personal favourite is I am a pole if you haven’t all ready watch it please do

[@shmee123ful]

me as an aussie sees davy covit....why america, why are this way...who hurt you?

[@prestonjones1653]

Can you react to spears are better than swords by lindybeige?

[@ShinigamiSamaH]

America is truly the shining example of competency.

[@cropathfinder]

13:30 aand US never makes defectors say whatever the hell they want with the threat being them turned over to the country of origin, also this video doesn't even mention the nuclear mines US put into various ports around the world and just forgot about including friendly ones

[@angelcabeza6464]

Well they didnt mention USSR nuclear mimes i served in friendly ports either did they

[@command_unit7792]

The Russians had a few supply bottlenecks during the early stage of the operation in Ukraine. Now they solved their supply issues.

[@kyosokutai]

Wow, both utterly irrelevant and empiricly observably false.

[@striker0243]

@@kyosokutai yea, how's that two days to Kiev going?
