You probably right about Alpha particles because they are relatively large and charged, causing them to interact strongly with matter and lose energy fast. Gamma radiation penetrates rock far better than alpha. Beta is between alpha and gamma in terms of rock penetration.

What I alluded to is that the bulk of the enriched uranium has been removed and not damaged which is reason no signs of radiation was detected. The damages of the sites may still have remants of small amount of uranium in the centrifuges that caused chemical release inside the affected facilities

These are 60% enriched uranium which can emit alpha, beta and gamma radiation. Natural uranium are radioactive and require careful handling. Even buried under ground, it can still emit radiation.

There were no reports indicating signs of off-site radiation or contamination in the wake of US bombings on the 3 nuclear sites. Does indicate that there were no uranium there. As for the destroyed centrifuges, Iran has demonstrated that they can build new sites with centrifuges within few months though more complex facilities might take longer. Iran has to be internationally monitored. The JCPOA between Iran and other world powers has to be brought back to prevent Iran development of nuclear weapons. It was a mistake that TRump withdraw from this agreement.

This design was make known to them by the Chinese. Whether they use this design, I admit I don't know until we get intel details.

They may developed the bomb to be effective in different condition but not tested. They will have to wait for the intel damage assessment and improve on the bombs.

UHPC and also the diamond shape of the design that can divert the missile entry trajectory away from the nuclear sites.

Shouldn't be in this cash strapped situation if he grifted of his father's presidency. Price you pay for being honest and not corrupt and son of a decent dad.

He had already approved the plan to bomb Iran before his "2 weeks" statement. The 2 weeks was a deception. His statement was on the 20th June and the bombing was on 22 June. To get the B-52 ready for war takes about 48 hours and not include the flight time.

Seem to indicate that the bomber was on its way to Iran when Trump make that infamous “ 2 weeks “ announcement. So it was all a ruse.

I hope and pray that the leaders of Israel and Iran will made their official announcement not state TVs. This from BBC. Neither country has confirmed the ceasefire - Iran says if Israel stops its attacks, Iran will also bring an end to its strikes; Israel is yet to comment

The ceasefire will be godsend for Iran. Tehran was reeling from the attacks and tried to save face with a military response but without provoking a cycle of escalation and even regime change it can't afford. It will buy time for Iran to re-group and bargain for sanction reliefs as a trade-off for denuclearization plan.

The ceasefire would not be possible without the involvement of Qatar's Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed who negotatiated with Tehran for their part of the ceasefire agreement. Not all Trump as he tried to gaslight.

He chickened out. DRop the bunker busters, escalated the war and then called for a ceasefire without even knowing that the mission to take out Iran's nuclear capabilities were completed.

The timing was right this time. He and Netanyahu found a useful idiot that they can manipulate.

Didn't happen which was why no campaign finance charge was levied by the GOP.

All of those mentioned have been ruled by judges to be unconstitutional. His modus operani is to appeal.

Each country has their constitution reflecting the social and political character of their country. All constitutions have freedom of speech, arms and elements of the US constitution but the implementations are different in accordance to their constitution and legal framework. That said, Trump trampled on US constitution like revoking birthright citizenship, freezing federal spending, deploying military forces and illegal deportation based on their political views among many other non constitutional acts.

In fairness, Trump won the election with the quarter of billion help from Elon. He practically won it for Trump.

The idiom about leading the horse to drink …., perfectly summed up your state of mind.

Tolerance and freedom of speech are the pillars of democracy and Trump has violated these essential democratic components with heavy-handedness, overeach and often illegal. Authoritarian regimes typically do not tolerate dissent or freedom of speech. Trump's regime is exhibiting those authoritarian characteristics. The free world support principles and beliefs associated with liberal democracies. Those were the values that was once American values too. Not now but fortunatey those who normalize Trump's authoritarian behavior are in the minority.

The free world is equally concerned with US declining democracy and heading towards authoritarism.

You mean G6. Taco Trump can have his own G3 with Russia and North Korea.

And Zalensky know exactly where the so-called dictator is hiding but is safe there - he is not going to take him out (kill!), at least not now. Thank you for your attention to this matter Putin".

Before the bombing not so intensive. Got worse after Trump took office. Putin showing the middle finger at TACO Trump.
