  1. NATO didn't break up Yugoslavia. It was already broken before the UN ever did anything.

  2. One hopes that they would have had the sense to not nuke their neighbors that were all well within the fallout zone of each other. But the it would have made the UN and then later NATO intervention much more... complicated.

  3.  @felipea1399  Perhaps. Or it would have prompted a full scale "intervention" to secure the weapons as soon as Yugoslavia fell apart.

  4. "The staggering sum of $53 million for the bomb..." Is "only" $700 million today. Not much as far as nuk'ler wa'pons go. Or was that supposed to be sarcastic?

  5. @12:30 I doubt that is the bomb dropped on Nagasaki. @21:20 "Stalin's passing largely ended the threat of a Soviet...so Tito canned the program." Hungarians and Czechoslovaks would probably disagree. There is no way Tito would not have watched those "interventions" and not taken note of what happens to those who wanted to do their own thing. Its far more likely that Rankovic simply failed to establish a workable bomb program so they "retconned" the story to save face.

  7. Just 20 years too early. Otherwise they could have just hired Pakistanis like Kim did.

  8.  @darktorrent_  That is false. There were no such promises before the civil war.
