“Who Is The Real Risk Here?”

“Western leaders keep repeating the same demand. Iran must cease uranium enrichment. Zero. No exceptions.

At the same time, Israel is allowed to retain an undeclared nuclear arsenal, refuse inspections, ignore treaties, and expand military aggression across the region without consequence.

If this were genuinely about nuclear risk, that position would collapse under even minimal scrutiny. So the only honest way to assess the claim is by looking at the record. Law. Behaviour. Sequence. Precedent”

ROBERT MAGINNIS: Iran may be closer to a bomb, but history demands caution now

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Last summer, when the United States and Israel struck Iran’s nuclear facilitiesI, I argued the operation was deliberate — not reckless. The June 2025 strikes on Natanz, Fordow and Isfahan were...

Today in Labor History February 16, 1963: A British antiwar activist group, called The Spies for Peace, broke into a secret UK government bunker, stole classified documents and published them. These documents revealed that the government was preparing for a thermonuclear war in which they knew the general population would be annihilated, while at the same time building a network of bunkers to protect key government officials. Several people were arrested for the break-in, but none of The Spies were ever identified. The Spies for Peace were associated with the Committee of 100, a Direct Action activist organization formed in 1960 by philosopher, mathematician and Nobel laureate Bertrand Russell and others.

Today in Labor History February 5, 1958: The U.S. Air Force lost a Mark 15 thermonuclear bomb in the water near Tybee Island, near Savannah, Georgia. The B-47 bomber was on a simulated combat mission. It collided with an F-86 fighter plane, midair, and jettisoned the bomb in order to make an emergency landing without detonating it. Sources vary on whether it was a “dummy” bomb, or if it had a plutonium core. If it was a “dummy” bomb, it still carried 400 lbs of conventional high explosives, enough to do considerable local damage. However, Assistant Secretary of Defense W.J. Howard, told Congress that the Tybee Island bomb was a "complete weapon, a bomb with a nuclear capsule" and one of two weapons lost that contained a plutonium trigger.

For a truly terrifying history of the history of nuclear weapons systems and accidents involving nuclear weapons in the United States, read Eric Schlosser’s “Command and Control.”

Today in Labor History January 31, 1950: President Truman ordered the development of thermonuclear weapons (Hydrogen bombs). The U.S. tested the first thermonuclear weapon in 1952. It was developed by Edward Teller. H-bombs consist of a nuclear fission primary stage, much like older atomic bombs. The fuel for this stage is usually 235U or 239Pu. This is followed by a nuclear fusion reaction using the heavy hydrogen isotopes deuterium and tritium. Modern thermonuclear weapons use lithium deuteride. The nuclear fission stage creates a temperature of over 100 million Kelvin (180 million degrees Fahrenheit), flooding the radiation channel with X-rays. The X-ray energy implodes a plutonium spark plug, compressing the secondary stage and driving the plutonium into a supercritical state that drives a fission chain reaction. The fission products heat the thermonuclear fuel to 300 million Kelvin, igniting the fusion reactions.

After Trump’s re-election as President of the U.S., the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists reset the Doomsday Clock to 89 seconds before midnight, the closest it has ever been to midnight. Closer than it was at the height of the Cold War. Closer than it was during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Closer than it was when Reagan joked that the U.S. had initiated an atomic attack on the USSR. Why? Because the clock is calibrated based on the threat of nuclear war, the climate crisis, the risks posed by AI, and the volatility and unpredictability of those with the fingers on the button, all of which have gotten worse with a 2nd Trump presidency. And on January 27, 2026, they reset it again to 85 seconds before midnight due, in part, to the intent to reintroduce explosive testing by the U.S. and its refusal to reestablish existing nuclear non-proliferation treaties.
