Also no on actually wants to commit genocide so stop being so damned paranoid.
State-sponsored terrorism.
3)I seriously doubt that even black market people or w/e would be willing to sell these materials to a group of extremist noobs.
uhhh
Hitler did
There are lots of arab terrorists who would gladly commit genocide
Plenty of countries have commited what could be considered genocide, and they didn't do it by accident.
They can't track everything. and that's in first-world countries.
How do you suppose they track a deal made most probably underground, in a hostile area through a middle-eastern black market that chances are they have 0 way of penetrating with any means because i wouldn't be surprised if that kind of market is exclusive to people like mujs or people who have proven their commitement to their country.
AQ or the Taliban aren't a group of teenagers running around with paintball guns. You're talking about selling materials to a group of hardened trained people who have researched this shit, aren't going to fuck around and mean to use it to blow someone up and to blow them up fast and well.
But they can track nuclear shit, there aren't too many places that mine and sell uranium and whatnot, and you can bet your ass that they have alot of regulations and people watching them. Don't be stupid.
Yes?
And I said that no one would want to sell them these materials?
And to my knowledge no one has, so far.
?
If people are willing to give terrorists and gangs around the world military grade weapons (RPGs and suchlike), it isn't too far fetched that they might be able to acquire components for nuclear weapons, remember that a lot of countries now use nuclear power stations.
Stalin, Mao Zedong, Pol Pot, the Turks (killed Armenians and Kurds), the British (in some of their colonies), the Belgians (in the Congo), the Japanese (in China), the US (among others, against American "Indians") the list goes on and on.
Here you fucking go: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genocides_in_history
They can put it in a lead box and it's pretty much invisible.[/URL]
it's pretty hard to hide a uranium mine, unless that wanna just go ahead and put the entire country in a lead box.
I seem to recall that weapons-grade fissive material is harder to produce than it is to produce fuel for a nuclear reactor.
http://www.ccnr.org/plute.html
If you pay one guy per nuclear reactor to watch out for plutonium "harvest", you can pretty much keep an eye on the whole thing.
"The disadvantage of reactor-grade plutonium is not so much in the effectiveness of the nuclear weapons that can be made from it as in the increased complexity in designing, fabricating, and handling them."
^So "cheap" fissive material requires expertise and constant maintenance to make weapons from. Weapons-grade fissive material is hard to produce, therefore easier to keep track of.
