The threat of nuclear terrorism.

 The threat of nuclear terrorism. 

The hackers attacked Israel by using the Red Alert warning application as a platform. They claimed that Israel was under nuclear threat. Nuclear terrorism is one of the most frightening things. The problem is that nuclear technology falls in the hands of those who don't care or don't have the skills to protect those platforms. 

We should concerned about nuclear terrorism and the escalation of nuclear weapons because of Burkina Faso and Russian atomic cooperation. Also, Iranian military aid to Russia in the Ukrainian war causes the question of whether Iran wants nuclear weapon technology as a counter-gift. 

Those hackers created the fake message that Israel was under a nuclear terrorist threat. Those kinds of messages are serious things. Even if they are meant for trolls. 

But does the threat of nuclear terror rise? When we think about the situations where Russians sell nuclear power plants to Burkina Faso, that can mean that people like Hamas are closer to getting nuclear material in their hands. The African nations with ultimate corruption might outsource those power plants' security to foreign mercenaries like Wagner PMC if they cannot protect those systems themselves. 

Nuclear waste is dangerous, and all dangerous things are dangerous in the hands of terrorists. The problem is that some countries don't have the will or even skills to protect the nuclear power plants. And if the protector is some Wagner PMC, that opens mercenaries the road to the nuclear material. 

 All kinds of radioactive nuclear material are useful for radiological weapons. But when we think about the nuclear weapons things like corruption are good tools that allow evil to get the most evil weapons into their hands. Corrupted officers and nuclear officials can sell nuclear weapons to other nations, and if those nations are even more corrupted.

The corruption and fall of the governments cause risk that people who should guard nuclear facilities just slip off their positions. And then the nuclear material will turn unattended. 

We should be concerned about things like Iranian weapons aid to Russia. Iran will not give those drones for free. And the question is, what Iran wants from Russia? And one thing is the technology that is needed for nuclear weapons. So maybe they want to hire Russian nuclear specialists, who can advise on how to make things like hydrogen bombs. The problem with the Iranian government is radical Islam. And there are fanatic and lunatic people who might think that if they sell a couple of nuclear bombs to Hamas they act as a member of Islamic Jihad and help Israeli enemies to destroy that country. 

That means those nuclear weapons can go into the hands of terror. When the Soviet Union collapsed some officers were willing to sell nuclear weapons to private contractors. And lucky thing was that those people were undercover policemen who hunted drug dealers. But people were really lucky in that case. And the threat in Putin's fall is that the situation in the Soviet fall repeats. In that case, there is the possibility that nuclear warheads will ship to Africa accidentally.
