Ya’ll read too many conspiracy theories. What makes you think other countries were interested in recruiting him, specifically? I want to see the logic behind this assumption.

You don't understand why a country without nuclear weapons would try to get a scientist to help them make them?

Oh I understand. I’m asking why him, specifically?

Countries that have nuclear ambitions but lack the capability have more than enough scientists of their own that could do it given the permission. It’s pretty available science which is why we put sanctions on it and prevent people from enriching uranium like that.

So again, why him?
