A #podcast covering the peculiar and unspoken truth that Israel has the means to build a #nucleararsenal, an information shushed by most Western nation, as everyone agreed to turn a blind eye on the topic. Israel has nuclear capability but does not posses a nuclear bomb.
The US okayed development of a nuclear dissuasion by Israel after a meeting between President Nixon and the Israeli PM at the time, all the while going as far as keeping the secret out of any written record. Even in Israel nuclear capability is a watchword known only to closed circles within the government, the media safeguarding the secret out of public scrutiny.
All the components necessary to build a nuke are available however never has it been built. It was decided this way as Israel developed the means for nuclear capabilities.
The military does not have a hand in the matter, only the Prime Minister has the right to order the components to be assembled.
They cannot sign the non-proliferation treaty as they have not tested a nuclear weapon.It is interesting to see that Iran has adopted the same strategy under the uranium enrichment program. They have the components ready to build a nuclear arsenal. Meaning Israel targeting their nuclear facilities and scientists only affects how quickly the Iranian could gather and build a nuclear bomb.
