Absolutely, I am afraid most of them simply believe they are exempt somehow, it's not real to them. They have likely been told they will be swept away to some safe, secured area to keep the gov running and we know for a fact they could care less about the people they pretend to represent, so? If you refuse to take it in, think you yourself and closest family is safe no matter what, then why change? It's such a viscous circle, if they only understood there is no way they will be safe and grasp that Russians arsenal alone is enough to dig them out of any hole, maybe it could become real but I doubt it, the quality of politrixsters today is so low I would not get any hopes up.
That seems at first to be a reasonable comment, but I suspect that there are some in Congress that would simply rub their hands. And there is the obvious question of how much do members of Congress control the politics of the Nation? I suspect the answer might compare to 'how much does the Constitution control the politics of the Nation'?
Legitimately, nuclear war would wipe out all their investments and they should care, by their own Monopoly-player logic. But the hive mind can't admit this information, and if you ain't with the hive mind, you ain't in Congress.
Anyone in power that says we can "win a nuclear war" should be bound, gagged and forced to listen to Professor Postol until they understand how stupid that statement is
@@toyfischer *If you look for it in the US history, you'll have difficulties to find any example.* *However, if you look in other countries' history, you'll find many examples, just concentrate on countries that didn't wage war on others for years.*
Is Postol part of the cover-up?? Not sure but he's comparing here apples with oranges not addressing how these more modern tactical neutrons are designed to detonate deep within the surface to largely mask the more familiar effects observed from past tests of more conventional nukes that detonated above or at the surface. Search/Read/Disseminate: "Evidence for the use by Israel of a neutron uranium warhead in Palestine & Lebanon".
This talk by Mr. Postol was very much needed. Thanks for letting him have the floor to speak the truth. It is frightening what level of ignorance our "leaders" have and display. Look where it has brought us.
I'm sure that most of our politicos know what a nuclear war entails. I'm also sure that most of them knowingly chose to get on a ride sponsored by those that profit from war and now find that they're unable to get off.
Thank you Dr Postol and Nima. I hung on your every word. I agree with an earlier comment--this talk should be mandatory viewing for everyone in congress.
Yes, he should. But, he won't be. Because, he speaks the truth. Legacy main stream media only gives platforms to those that parrot narratives and push agendas for the Elites.
So you should be aware the device in question is massive .. when we have nuclear weapons the size of hand grenades that give a very different type of detonation... His comparison is not at all accurate here given the yield of 25kt I believe it was....
Well, I survived the fire storm and the bombing of Hamburg, hiding in a functional bunker . Very few had access to the bunkers, many people tried to survive by jumping in the canals but the British were dropping explosives with phosphorus canisters on the water in the canal. The phosphorus material kept the fire burning on the water, burning the the people alive while standing in the water. Thank you , Nima and Dr. Postal , for showing the horror and demonstrating what these large and intense explosions do to the surrounding areas and the people nearby.

There have been so many nuclear tests over the years that every government in the world that has that type of weapon knows the results of that type of explosion. NO excuses for anyone in charge to evade the consequences of what happens when a nuclear bomb explodes, if they have one in their suitcase.
Some years ago when I was an active Sport Pilot (Gliding & Soaring) I was loaned a Book by an ex-RAF test pilot. The Book was a compendium of the experiences of a Doctor who had lived in Hiroshima and worked at the Commercial Seamen's Hospital prior to the USA dropping the Bomb on the City. He was fortunate to have escaped the worst effects of the explosion but had to cope with its aftermath, in that he was involved in the treatment of the victims who "survived" the initial effects of the bomb. I recall having read some of Edgar Allen Poe's horror stories in my youth, in comparison to the Doctor's tale they amounted to Kindergarden stories.

Thank you both for this. I have immediately forwarded a link to my local MP with the following message: As we edge towards the potential brink of nuclear war whether sparked by events in Ukraine or within West Asia, I am forwarding a link to a very recent podcast. I am contacting you on this grave matter because you are my local MP, although in truth I would like to share the same stark warning with all of our MPs. Prof. Ted Postol, a highly-respected missile and nuclear weapons expert, here explains in detail the blast and fire damage that is caused by a single nuclear blast. There are only a few images towards the end that show injuries including burns and none of the images are especially graphic (although some are upsetting). Please watch and share this, because we urgently need to wake up to the growing threat of nuclear annihilation in order to ensure that it never finally happens. Thanks, James. I would like to encourage others to follow suit. Let's get the message out now!
I grew up when we had weekly drills in school for the bomb now they have drills for school shootings what happened to peace and love why can’t we get the fuc,,along
The audience truly appreciated this concise and informative format. I learned more in this hour with simple visual aids than several documentaries I've watched on the subject.
This knowledge should be mandatory to every leader of nuclear power or allied of nuclear power. But we would need to get rid of totally incompetent and corrupt ones first, and thats the majority in the west and most people either ignore it or have accepted the lie.
I am very knowledgeable about nuclear weapons, their development, their yields, zones of destruction by fire and blast, radiation effect expectations, deployment, variations, physics, etc.. But I kept learning things very rapidly in this excellent detailed video. Great post, great guest!
Just caught the tale-end. Can't wait to watch. People have been saying "they" used a new-type of small tactical nuclear bomb according to a Swiss nuclear researcher so can't wait to watch the full video. Thank you Nima.
This interview has educated me and shocked me greatly. Now I can see how devastating the Nuclear War will be. Very worried!! Thank you for excellent presentation professor. Thank you very much!
Such a fascinating video. Thanks Nima to have let Pf. Postol explain us so well his knowledge. It is so amazing to let real specialist let us access their knowledge like that. Your show is a gem in YT.
Could we require Biden to sit down for an hour and listen to Postol?? How about Trump?? Blinken and Sullivan? How about all of Congress? Why can't the US have leaders that have an IQ greater than 80??
You do know that people old enough to read in the 80's all understand how devastating any nuclear bomb would be? There is no sense using one because the fallout would also destroy all of the reasons for invading a place as well as your own territory. The fallout impacts the entire world also. Even if you destroyed your enemy your own people would revolt. The words thrown around by world leaders like Putin are false threats because there would be no benefit to him. That doesn't mean to ignore him, it means you better ramp up with every other means to convince him to stop what he is doing today.
I am a child of the Cold War and familiar with most of what has been said here from countless sources. Yet, Prof. Ted Postol gave the BEST presentation ever on the subject. Can't recommend this video high enough to everyone. Thank you Nima for having such a great guest and for your amazing channel. Wishing you all a Happy New Year 2025, and hoping for the return of sanity in international relations.
Professor Ted Postol concluded that the explosion in Syria was a large conventional explosion resulting from an Israeli airstrike on a significant ammunition dump, rather than the detonation of a tactical nuclear bomb as some had speculated. He examined photographic and video evidence and emphasized the clear characteristics of a conventional explosion, such as multiple clouds and the presence of burning debris, which distinguished it from a nuclear explosion. Postol explained the fundamental differences between conventional and nuclear explosions, including the nature of the blast, secondary effects, and the prolonged aftermath of radiation and fires resulting from nuclear detonations. He reiterated that the evidence available strongly indicated this was not a nuclear event.
Unfortunately the nature of a gravity neutron bomb is like that of a 1500kg conventional explosive with an additional neutron generating event that behaves more like an intense dirty bomb. Lack of a significant pulse of light is not indicative of there not being a nuke involved.
Wow, what a lesson. I am very concerned abouut nuclear war and pray everyone will understand how absolutely devastating this would be. There are some in our government right now that are acting so cavalier about it. It's become normalized as a fear tactic.It is the end of everything. No one wins. Thank you for this lesson.
Thank you Nima and Prof. Postol. That's a unique video, a warning and a call to law makers individuals to reason and consider what it does happen in a nuclear attack and its effects..
Dear Prof, Ted, your explanation of a nuclear blast are both enlightening, informative, and FRIGHTENING, With this and other info from further tests may we NEVER use nuclear ordnance.
Thank you for this video. I knew a lot. But this level of detail has advanced my level of understanding to a new place. We can not let these devices be used. We can do better. 🙏
Thank you Nema for your consistency and incredible quality of every single guest on your show. This interview hits so perfectly given current events. Thank you. I hope we will make it until next year.
The average Nuclear warhead today is 150kT to 500 kT. So 15 up to 50 times Hiroshima. But there are much larger warheads. The Russian Tzar bomb had 50 Megaton TNT equivalent. So 5000 times Hiroshima in ONE bomb. The concept is good even for 100 Megaton wich would make it also a incredible dirty bomb seen from Radioactivity. That thrown on the east coast means the east coast is GONE. Its not Washington or Philadelphia or NYC, its all of it GONE.
@@starwarsroo2448 This is right, if you stay at 50 Megaton as that is a almost pure fusion bomb. The other half is reached with a mantle of Uranium around these core. The Russians did not used that part of the bomb. The demonstration of 50 Megaton was already far beyond anything the US could do at that time. Russia always had the better physicists. So as demonstration it was good as it was even if it could had the double yield. But in general this is right, Fusion bombs just need a dirty ignition with a small Plutonium bomb. The Fusion only create short living Isotopes. And that is why we want it as Fusion plant.
Is there anything missing once an atomic bomb is detonated? I guess. Militaries are likely looking for a few extra calamities. Any gain of function available for a deadly bacteria to survive the whole mess?
@ it was irony. If you were a military and aware of consequences would you keep poking big bear Russia. Which until two years ago was working more and more with Europe? How many more Ukrainians
Thank You for the fascinating explanation of Nuclear detonation and the ensuing conflagration. Very well done without a lot of super technical jargon or excessively graphic presentations.
Simple logic, Dont think syria had an ammo storage facility that could store such amount of ammunition which could create such a huge explosion. So, nuclear or not, Israel did use a giant weapon.
Great explanation. I actually worked at WSMR years ago and visited the old Trinity site several times being in awe of what took place there. What's even more interesting is the farm house some distance away where they assembled the "Device".
Trinity was the code name of the first detonation of a nuclear weapon, conducted by the United States Army at 5:29 a.m. MWT on July 16, 1945, not 12-16-1945.
Prof Postol is awesome. Thanks Nima for hosting him and not interrupting him constantly, like some feel the need to.

Postol makes comparisons with more conventional nks where detonation is above or at the surface. He's not taking into consideration more modern strategic nks that are designed to detonate deep underground and with lower radiation fallout.

Thank you both for this. I have immediately forwarded a link to my local MP with the following message:
As we edge towards the potential brink of nuclear war whether sparked by events in Ukraine or within West Asia, I am forwarding a link to a very recent podcast. I am contacting you on this grave matter because you are my local MP, although in truth I would like to share the same stark warning with all of our MPs.
Prof. Ted Postol, a highly-respected missile and nuclear weapons expert, here explains in detail the blast and fire damage that is caused by a single nuclear blast. There are only a few images towards the end that show injuries including burns and none of the images are especially graphic (although some are upsetting).
Please watch and share this, because we urgently need to wake up to the growing threat of nuclear annihilation in order to ensure that it never finally happens.
Thanks, James.
I would like to encourage others to follow suit. Let's get the message out now!
This should be compulsory viewing for anyone in Australia who thinks there is value in trotting around behind the Americans.

This video is incredible to me, I thought I knew it all, what a pleasant surprise to have learned so much valuable information.
I have watched this video 10x I love it.
This was common knowledge in the 1960s and 1970s that has been lost or forgotten.
Yup.
And yet the risk is much higher now
@ebflegg
Follows reason.
I grew up when we had weekly drills in school for the bomb now they have drills for school shootings what happened to peace and love why can’t we get the fuc,,along
The audience truly appreciated this concise and informative format. I learned more in this hour with simple visual aids than several documentaries I've watched on the subject.
Best video you made so far keep up the good work
One of the most important educational RUclips interview for 2024 for me. Thank you.
They will delete it 😂
Everyone should watch this and learn why we do not wish for a nuclear war. Thank you 🙏 both.
This knowledge should be mandatory to every leader of nuclear power or allied of nuclear power. But we would need to get rid of totally incompetent and corrupt ones first, and thats the majority in the west and most people either ignore it or have accepted the lie.
Agreed, but these 'leaders' will not relinquish power peacefully. What then?
I am very knowledgeable about nuclear weapons, their development, their yields, zones of destruction by fire and blast, radiation effect expectations, deployment, variations, physics, etc..
But I kept learning things very rapidly in this excellent detailed video. Great post, great guest!
Just caught the tale-end. Can't wait to watch. People have been saying "they" used a new-type of small tactical nuclear bomb according to a Swiss nuclear researcher so can't wait to watch the full video. Thank you Nima.
There is always much tobe discussed always keep a open mind...
America helped free Syria!! And now Syria is gone...
Whatever US touches it'd turn into dusts.
Imagine that 👺
This interview has educated me and shocked me greatly. Now I can see how devastating the Nuclear War will be. Very worried!!
Thank you for excellent presentation professor. Thank you very much!
Wow, thanks for explaining it so well. Quality guest; Postol, quality show Nima
Thank you Nima. This is such an informative, well presented and easy to understand video. I can not wait for the second part. Thank you 🇬🇧
Thank you Nima and Ted for taking the time for a very timely discussion of such great concern to so many people. 🙏❤️
Such a fascinating video. Thanks Nima to have let Pf. Postol explain us so well his knowledge. It is so amazing to let real specialist let us access their knowledge like that.
Your show is a gem in YT.
Could we require Biden to sit down for an hour and listen to Postol?? How about Trump?? Blinken and Sullivan? How about all of Congress? Why can't the US have leaders that have an IQ greater than 80??
Some have a high IQ, but they are evil, which is, a bad combination.
Kamala should be the person in charge,you voted for her 😱.
Because of the way the system is set up. No way to choose quality leaders. People rise to the top for all the wrong reasons.
Greater than 80 🤔 easier to control 😎
You do know that people old enough to read in the 80's all understand how devastating any nuclear bomb would be? There is no sense using one because the fallout would also destroy all of the reasons for invading a place as well as your own territory. The fallout impacts the entire world also. Even if you destroyed your enemy your own people would revolt. The words thrown around by world leaders like Putin are false threats because there would be no benefit to him. That doesn't mean to ignore him, it means you better ramp up with every other means to convince him to stop what he is doing today.
I am a child of the Cold War and familiar with most of what has been said here from countless sources. Yet, Prof. Ted Postol gave the BEST presentation ever on the subject. Can't recommend this video high enough to everyone. Thank you Nima for having such a great guest and for your amazing channel. Wishing you all a Happy New Year 2025, and hoping for the return of sanity in international relations.
Professor Ted Postol concluded that the explosion in Syria was a large conventional explosion resulting from an Israeli airstrike on a significant ammunition dump, rather than the detonation of a tactical nuclear bomb as some had speculated. He examined photographic and video evidence and emphasized the clear characteristics of a conventional explosion, such as multiple clouds and the presence of burning debris, which distinguished it from a nuclear explosion. Postol explained the fundamental differences between conventional and nuclear explosions, including the nature of the blast, secondary effects, and the prolonged aftermath of radiation and fires resulting from nuclear detonations. He reiterated that the evidence available strongly indicated this was not a nuclear event.
Unfortunately the nature of a gravity neutron bomb is like that of a 1500kg conventional explosive with an additional neutron generating event that behaves more like an intense dirty bomb. Lack of a significant pulse of light is not indicative of there not being a nuke involved.
Did not read all that! I listened to the video, but thanks anyways 🙄
Oh wow, thank you!!!!
Excellent clarification of this important issue which seems to be looming...
Thanks for this Nima, Professor Postol.
Nima, this is your most fascinating guest
Thank you and you guest.
Bravo! Well done! Unfortunately, nobody in power is listening.
Wow, what a lesson. I am very concerned abouut nuclear war and pray everyone will understand how absolutely devastating this would be. There are some in our government right now that are acting so cavalier about it. It's become normalized as a fear tactic.It is the end of everything. No one wins. Thank you for this lesson.
Tell that to the USA billionaires 👹
This episode must be seen by everybody !!! Thank you.
Instead of arming Israel, Ukraine and Taiwan; US tax payer money should be spent on infrastructure, healthcare, education, homelessness etc
Issy-rel needs to end!
Of course then forget to be The Great again! IT is simple.
The USA spends many times more money on healthcare and education than it does on defense- get a clue.
If we stick our heads in the sand everything will be fine no need to help the people who are being oppressed or attacked right
Russian 'NEPTUN's (100MT N-torpedoes) are on a 1 min alert in both Oceans around an island
Awesome class, Professor.
Thanks!
Thank you Nima and Prof. Postol. That's a unique video, a warning and a call to law makers individuals to reason and consider what it does happen in a nuclear attack and its effects..
Happy New Year to both gentlemen.
Horrifying, but essential viewing! Thank you.
Share it with others.
Dear Prof, Ted, your explanation of a nuclear blast are both enlightening, informative, and FRIGHTENING, With this and other info from further tests may we NEVER use nuclear ordnance.
Thank you Professor Postol!
Thank you for this video. I knew a lot. But this level of detail has advanced my level of understanding to a new place.
We can not let these devices be used. We can do better. 🙏
Thank you Nima! Thank you Professor Postol! That was very helpful and clear.
Nima and Prof Postol thank you for spreading the truth.
Really appreciate your words towards Tulsi Gabbard
Tulsi gabbard a complete freak at a security risk
Nima, I just subscribed. Thank you for not interrupting him. I am a radiation safety officer. This is a whole different view. Dave
Dear gentlemen you have great program good luck.
Thank you Nema for your consistency and incredible quality of every single guest on your show. This interview hits so perfectly given current events. Thank you. I hope we will make it until next year.
Thank you for remarks about Tulsi Gabbard. Also, our politicians should be required to view this particular podcast.
They don't care, THEY have BUNKERS AND SATELLITE PHONES
Wow! This is an amazing seminar! I wish everyone in the world could see it. Thank you so much!
Dialogue does in fact work.
Thank you Sir. Thank you Nima. I am very grateful to you both.
Awesome explanation of how a nuclear explosion works. Thank you Professor Ted!
Thank you, Prof and Nima, as this has been a very confusing occurrence!
The average Nuclear warhead today is 150kT to 500 kT. So 15 up to 50 times Hiroshima. But there are much larger warheads. The Russian Tzar bomb had 50 Megaton TNT equivalent. So 5000 times Hiroshima in ONE bomb. The concept is good even for 100 Megaton wich would make it also a incredible dirty bomb seen from Radioactivity. That thrown on the east coast means the east coast is GONE. Its not Washington or Philadelphia or NYC, its all of it GONE.
I thought TB was one of the cleanest weapons
@@starwarsroo2448 This is right, if you stay at 50 Megaton as that is a almost pure fusion bomb. The other half is reached with a mantle of Uranium around these core. The Russians did not used that part of the bomb. The demonstration of 50 Megaton was already far beyond anything the US could do at that time. Russia always had the better physicists. So as demonstration it was good as it was even if it could had the double yield.
But in general this is right, Fusion bombs just need a dirty ignition with a small Plutonium bomb. The Fusion only create short living Isotopes.
And that is why we want it as Fusion plant.
Thank you. Very informative and quite important to keep in mind.
The world will not end. It will still be orbiting the sun,but without people.
Amazing show. Please bring Prof Postol back❤
Is there anything missing once an atomic bomb is detonated? I guess. Militaries are likely looking for a few extra calamities. Any gain of function available for a deadly bacteria to survive the whole mess?
??
@ it was irony. If you were a military and aware of consequences would you keep poking big bear Russia. Which until two years ago was working more and more with Europe? How many more Ukrainians
Thank You for the fascinating explanation of Nuclear detonation and the ensuing conflagration. Very well done without a lot of super technical jargon or excessively graphic presentations.
Total madness...... I condemn wars and more photos should be shown to see the horrors of all wars.
USA the only government that used nuclear bombs. Shame 😞 on you!!
USA , guilty!!
Outstanding presentation..thank you
Thank you Ted Postol for educating us with the truth of nuclear explosions upon us all.
Simple logic,
Dont think syria had an ammo storage facility that could store such amount of ammunition which could create such a huge explosion.
So, nuclear or not, Israel did use a giant weapon.
The jew warmongers.
Yeah. Conventional. It penetrated into underground storage. Fuel ammo chems. Simple
Well, you're wrong. And how do you "know" who launched that missile?
Yes it was an air bombing campaign by Israel against unarmed people and a weapon storage they could just walk in and empty it.
If brains were dynamite, you wouldn’t have enough to blow your nose…….
Great explanation. I actually worked at WSMR years ago and visited the old Trinity site several times being in awe of what took place there.
What's even more interesting is the farm house some distance away where they assembled the "Device".
Thank you, Nima. I was hoping that someone would discuss in-depth with Dr. Postol whether a tactical nuclear weapon was used by Israel in Syria.
Or was it a tactical nuclear weapon used by Turkey? Or Iran?
@@ms-jl6dl No, you missed the point. The blast was NOT a nuclear weapon detonation at all.
@@davidk6269CORRECT 💯
What is the professor's opinion of 911 where steel and materials were burning at high temperatures for days?
Trinity was the code name of the first detonation of a nuclear weapon, conducted by the United States Army at 5:29 a.m. MWT on July 16, 1945, not 12-16-1945.
This “ Professor “ is teaching young skulls full of mush this BS ! He can’t even get basic information correct !
