“Considering that many of the Manhattan project scientists doubted that nuclear bomb technology could work at all,”
I have doubts that the physicists working ON the Manhattan Project had such doubts. I do know that experts in conventional explosives told the president that the nuclear bomb would not work, but they were not experts on the math involved.
Rather, the doubts i know of were on just HOW powerful the nukes would be when it did go off, not if. But, it was war. Why would they hire and continue to employ physicists who were not convinced of the bomb’s capacity? Security being what it was at the time, they’d have been seen as a sabotage threat.
“At least one of the highest scientists was excluded from examining the Trinity blast--a blast which was conducted at night, with observers not needing to know the actual distance."
You have a name for this highest scientist? And a cite?
“Critical examinations of the technical specifications and technical hurdles makes the production of nuclear bombs unlikely.”
Because…?
“The technical hurdles are made exponentially more difficult as a result of proposed miniaturization of nukes even to the size of grapefruit.”
Difficult != impossible.
“The apocalyptic nature of the exaggerated claims of nuclear weapons and the threat of creating a nuclear winter calls into serious question the very existence of nuclear weapons. This is evidence that the nuclear narratives are more characteristic of Psyops rather than of reality.”
And the Soviets cooperate with this Psyop in moving pretend missiles to Cuba and we cooperate in almost going to war with the USSR to get them moved back out. Sounds even less likely than your estimation of the mechanics.
“No credible evidence exists that there has ever been such a device as an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile of Soviet origin.”
Just out treaty to inspect them on a regular basis, as they inspect ours.
I don’t trust your estimation of ‘credible.’
“No unedited film footage exists of an American ICBM being launched on one continent and arriving on an other continent.”
How in the fuck COULD there be unedited footage? WHere would you mount a single camera to watch the entire flight, freefall, and detonation?
And where, exactly, would we shoot this weapon at? We do test launches but most continents have people on them. So we don’t make test ranges for nukes going to other countries. We shoot to ‘broad ocean areas’ where we don’t affect the commute, or international shipping lanes.
And the only live-warhead test shot was from a submarine, so not on a continent, to a spot over the Pacific Ocean, so it’ sbeen done, but doesn’t meet your pulled-from-ass standards.
