Radio War Nerd EP 382 — Brief History of Nukes, feat. Annibale

Guest: Annibale Recorded: June 8, 2023 Last year, Conventional Wisdom had it that Putin might drop a nuke on Ukraine as Russia's military seemed to implode; this year, Conventional Wisdom says only dupes worry about Russian nukes. We talk to RWN favorite Annibale about the history & science of nukes so that you know whether you can sleep easy on those nuke fears, or freak the fuck out (spoiler: you should do both, simultaneously).
