Sam Kean Zitate

Unlike uranium, plutonium was created in an American lab in 1940, but scientists soon realized that it could produce even wilder chain reactions and even bigger explosions. In fact, fearing another country would create it, too, the American government went to great lengths to keep even the existence of plutonium a secret.

Im Gegensatz zu Uran wurde Plutonium 1940 in einem amerikanischen Labor hergestellt, doch die Wissenschaftler erkannten bald, dass es noch wildere Kettenreaktionen und sogar noch größere Explosionen erzeugen konnte. Aus Angst, dass auch ein anderes Land sie schaffen könnte, hat die amerikanische Regierung alles daran gesetzt, auch die Existenz von Plutonium geheim zu halten.

The debt ceiling at some point has to be raised.

The Nisour Square shooting is a signature point in the Iraq war, one that inflamed anti-American sentiment abroad and contributed to the impression that Americans were reckless and unaccountable.
