Your why question was oversimplified, after WW2 China wanted to take back Taiwan and it was stopped because the USA threatened to nuke em.That made it pretty clear that they d need nukes of their own.

“Diplomacy without arms is like music without instruments.” - Frederick the Great. This has been a fact for thousands of years. Hyskos' invasion of Eqypt in 1630 BCE is only one example.

The theory of making a nuclear bomb is pretty simple. Create a perfect sphere of a highly radio active material and surround it with a another sphere of explosive with numerous detonators. The hard bit is making that radioactive sphere free from contaminates and making the detonators explode at exactly the same time to compress the radioactive sphere.

I’m incredibly happy that the audio normalization between videos has been fixed but the radio/tv segments really don’t work, especially for those of us that throw videos on in the background/primarily listen.

simon thank you. this video is clear concise and well presented. See you can do proper informative videos
-
Simon's last words are memorable 'No one stupid enough, as we watch over how the world's politics change.

Thanks for sharing.

I really love all of your channels/videos, I'm pretty sure I've seen them all at this point. My one complaint is this recent thing that's been added where sections of the videos switch to the wall of TVs and the audio gets really loud and harsh. It's hard to understand what's being said and it makes it VERY difficult to watch late at night while trying to relax in bed because of the spike in volume and harshness of the audio. Big fan of everything else though, thank you for all the amazing content.

If the nuclear age was a gigantic appendage measuring contest, the use of “dong” in china’s devices is hilarious to me😂

@3:30 that horse-mask is Fire LOL

Someday they'll do an episode of Megaprojects about Simon's arsenal of YouTube channels. So very dangerous... accidentally mix any...Megablaze.

ukraine and kazakstan didn't have launch codes or any tech to maintain them, they were paperweight and most likely not viable to fix

Living in extreme northern Japan in the early 70s found us staying indoors after the occasional open air testing.

War….war never changes.

That horrendous TV voice edit is horrendously high pitched and waaay louder than the rest of the video - mai gawd.

I'm not sure it fits into the exact specifications of what you meant by nuclear disarmament but Canada had hundreds of nuclear warheads as well during the cold War era (Though as far as I know we didn't build any, they were from the states) but we by all definitions a nuclear capable and armed nation. We were largely involved in the process and even built one of the first nuclear capable jet planes (Avro Arrow) and then later disarmed.

The way you present your video is amazing. I am not even talking about how accurate and unbiased information provided in this video is.

Someone once said.. "On the issue of peace, I am long past innocence and fast approaching apathy. It's all a game -- a paper fantasy of names and borders."

I have a different perspective on major world powers all having nukes. I think it prevents broader wars between the major powers. Instead we get proxy wars, not a good thing but definitely better than large wars between superpowers. So far it has been worth it, but that’s the kicker - if war does ever break out between nuclear powers it will be really really bad.
