What a Nuclear Engineer Has to Say About What's Really Going on in Iran
from Walter Rhein Podcast · host Walter Rhein and Robert Danna
Hello Everyone!What I really appreciate about Substack is that it allows me to connect with so many intelligent and accomplished people! I was chatting about this talk with Robin Wilding and she called Robert Danna a “treasure!” I think so too.It’s wonderful to get the straight truth from experts in our field. Why don’t people like Robert ever appear on the news?I think the media mechanism has pressured us all into getting our information from certain ignorant sphincter mouths in pursuit of the patriarchal ideal. We’ve come to neglect that there are very knowledgeable people all around us.In this conversation, Robert walks through all the words that are being thrown around in the media lately. What’s a “centrifuge?” How big is it? What does “enrichment” mean?" What happens when you blow them up?Most important of all: Are there perfectly legitimate reasons for countries to have nuclear programs?The answer to that last one is YES!The more we know, the more empowered we are. This makes it more difficult for the government and the media to fabricate consent for an illegal war by lining up a bunch of circumstantial evidence (that all has reasonable explanations if you know anything about the subject).So, if you’re curious and you want to educate yourself on the realities of nuclear programs, click play on my conversation with Bob! If not, I might write some shorter articles going through what I learned.I always have to go for a long walk after these talks. Conversations with smart people get my head spinning.
