This is the viewing tower for the Bikini Atoll nuclear detonation.

It was all too recent!

"Between 1946 and 1958 the United States detonated 23 nuclear weapons on the tiny, remote ring of islands that make up Bikini Atoll."

A Jewish *physicist fled the Nazis and led nuclear fission - but shunned the A-bomb.
The *woman differed from Jewish men Oppenheimer, Einstein, Szilard and Wigner.
Many Jews such as me ask why has not Hollywood made a major film about *Lise Meitner? Radio programme:

Sadly, no. Ukraine should get its own nukes.

No one should have nukes. We know the dangers of radiation not just on us, but our planet.

Nukes will be the end of humanity.

No one should have them, but as long as the US, China, and Russia have them, I want my own

Sadly, we live in a world where authoritarian regimes have nukes. Russia is able to wage a conventional war against Ukraine only because it has nukes and threatens to use them. It's not ideal, but nukes can give a country security. That's all I meant.
