1/ I have made one or two comments about Ukraine and nuclear weapons. A lot of folks have decided to tell me that (a) Ukraine did not develop them, (b) Ukraine did not have the "keys". Guys, come on, give me some credit.

2/ I read "The Making of the Atomic Bomb" https://www.amazon.com/Making-Atomic-Bomb-Richard-Rhodes/dp/1451677618 … for the first time when I was 12, and have re-read it twice, I think, since then. I've always been interested in nuclear weapon engineering, and have read other books and histories since then.

3/ I understand (a) how permissive action links work, (b) that the Ukraine government didn't have the keys. I also understand that taking apart a handful of modern nuclear weapons, salvaging Pu "pit" & U fission material, and building a simple Fatman gun-style bomb isn't hard
