Finished the book, it's the most terrifying war description I've ever read.

S'up Dan?

The situation is even worse than portrayed by Jacobsen's book. Terrorists can buy or steal enough material to build a Hiroshima size bomb and can easily smuggle it into DC or any major US city with devastating consequences. see Secretary Bill Perry's discussion about this problem: (https://www.nytimes.com/2007/06/12/opinion/12carter.html)The problem is the general public is unaware. The US is about to spend $ 3 Trillion dollars to "upgrade" our nuclear stockpile- this makes no sense. How many nuclear weapons do we need to feel safe. 100 on Nuclear subs or in the air would probably be enough. After all we were afraid of North Korea when they just had a handful.

Once again, great interview. I wanted to support Dan along with Annie Jacobsen, so purchased the Kindle Version of the book.

Good interview. Grabbing it on the Kindle. Thought it was funny that she mentioned Trump's rhetoric making her think of nuclear war and also her saying the president would never be 92 yrs old. Nah, just a few years younger. Listening to this brought back memories of growing up in the 80s. I was terrified of nuclear war when I found out what it was. I begged my pa re wants to move to Australia. It was the only landlocked place I could think of. Stay safe, everyone.

You the man Dan (& the HCH team!)

Very interesting and daunting episode and a great conversation, Dan. Some of those facts blew me back, and she was knocked back by quotes from her own book! 🫣 But I love listening to her voice almost as much as yours; if the topic wasn’t so heavy, I’d be restarting again already.

Should be a good one!
