SHOW NOTES: IMPORTANT CONTEXT: I said "Israel is a nuclear country." I should have added "reportedly," as Israel has not officially confirmed or denied nuclear weapons. For years it has widely been reported that Israel has nuclear technology. The source I often use, and did in this piece, shows the commonly referenced number of nuclear weapons assigned to countries like Israel, America, Russia, etc.:  Arms Control Association   Another interesting read: Do Israel and Iran Have Nuclear Weapons? It's Complicated   Walter Lord’s account of  The Titanic: "A Night To Remember"
