旧日本軍も原爆研究 理研に「ニ号作戦」 　米国により広島・長崎に原爆を落とされた被爆国日本だが、日本も戦時中、原爆開発を進めて

The atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were horrific. No justification. However, I think we also need to talk about the little-known fact: Japan was actively developing its own nuclear weapon during the war (the “Ni‑Go Project”).

Manhattan Project and Nuclear Control How the U.S. government mobilized science, enforced secrecy, and asserted federal control over nuclear knowledge during and after World War II.

The atomic bomb wasn’t the only invention of the Manhattan Project. ⚛️

Federal control of science became normalized. Universities folded into national security priorities.

The bomb ended a war.

The system it built never ended.

France to boost nuclear arsenal and extend deterrence to European allies Emmanuel Macron said eight countries could enjoy protection from France's nuclear umbrella - but that Paris would retain sole decision-making power.

With current events escalating in Iran, this critically important geostrategic story appears to have slipped under the radar.

War, More War, and War Without End This month marks the 4 year anniversary of the Russia invasion of Ukraine in 2022 and the 16 year anniversary of the Russian annexation of Crimea and the Donbas Region. It made me think of when I read John Hersey's book Hiroshima in 2009 as part of my Masters graduate studies and I wanted to re-visit that book and one of my favorite episodes of The West Wing.

Hersey's Hiroshima: 6 survivors. 1 bomb. Still the most powerful argument against nuclear war ever written. Essential reading for every generation. #HistoryClass #NuclearHistory #EduTwitter

Promotional poster for a Twitch stream titled Nuclear Nightmare. The layout has a dark CRT-style design with teal grid textures and photos tinted radioactive green. On the left is an anime-style male VTuber wearing traditional robes, standing tensely under teal light. On the right are two gameplay screenshots showing a first-person view inside a dim industrial facility and a tracked vehicle driving through snow. Text reads: “Nuclear Nightmare,” “Nuclear Historian Takagura Takashima,” and “A nuclear historian enters Nuclear Nightmare. From Chernobyl to Fukushima, we’ll explore how real reactor design, policy, and media shaped the world’s nuclear nightmares.” At the top corner: “twitch.tv/lostmosssamurai Live Tonight 7PM EST.”
