How was the USA/Russia able to build nuclear weapons in the 1940s, but countries today aren’t able to just as easily?
In: Technology
Because we all realized that everyone having nukes is more dangerous than a few superpowers having nukes. There is now a treaty that basically says “if you have nukes, you have nukes, but if you don’t, you don’t seek them out.” And then the members of this treaty make sure that the materials needed to make a nuclear weapon don’t become available, and if someone pursues nuclear arms, they will be dealt with economically.
