Испытания бомбы Северной Кореей

Распространение ядерного оружия давно перешагнуло границы "великих держав". Я помню рассказ пакистанского ученого-ядерщика (дело происходило в Москве на международной конференции по нераспространению) о том, как у него в кабинете свалилась со стены книжная полка - и он, услышав грохот, рефлексивно посмотрел в окно - искать, где растет гриб атомного взрыва. Дело было вскоре после индийского и пакистанского испытания. Потом пришла очередь Северной Кореи.
Американский "бард" (как там правильно по-английски, singer-songwriter?) Том Леер (Tom Lehrer) написал об этом песню еще в 1960-е, когда бомбу испытали китайцы (навеяно постом
altz_gamer ). Who's next?
Вот текст, вместе со вводными словами Тома (в записи он говорит немного больше):
One of the big news items of the past year concerned the fact that China, which we called "Red China," exploded a nuclear bomb, which we called a device. Then Indonesia announced that it was going to have one soon, and proliferation became the word of the day. Here's a song about that:
First we got the bomb, and that was good,
'Cause we love peace and motherhood.
Then Russia got the bomb, but that's okay,
'Cause the balance of power's maintained that way.
Who's next?
France got the bomb, but don't you grieve,
'Cause they're on our side (I believe).
China got the bomb, but have no fears,
They can't wipe us out for at least five years.
Who's next?
Then Indonesia claimed that they
Were gonna get one any day.
South Africa wants two, that's right:
One for the black and one for the white.
Who's next?
Egypt's gonna get one too,
Just to use on you know who.
So Israel's getting tense.
Wants one in self defense.
"The Lord's our shepherd," says the psalm,
But just in case, we better get a bomb.
Who's next?
Luxembourg is next to go,
And (who knows?) maybe Monaco.
We'll try to stay serene and calm
When Alabama gets the bomb.
Who's next?
Who's next?
Who's next?
Who's next?
Но если задуматься, то уже не смешно...

И поверьте, я знаю об этом (и о механизмах, и о содержании, и об эволюции взаимных представлений) довольно много. Уже поэтому я не смогу согласиться или оспорить Ваш тезис в тесном пространстве ЖЖ. Есть интерес - можно обсудить в других форматах.
