It is the other way around though: because it cannot be weaponized, there was no incentive to develop an industrial reactor and a supply chain. The remaining technical and scientific challenges on this technology are non-trivial too as I understand, so it will be a few decades before we see one in action even if we took the decision to invest in it today.

Maintenance cost, security hardening, visibility, that’s a few reasons coming from the top of my head.

I believe the war industry will take it over for the next turn.

The article says images over Iran are still available without delay. It’s the regions around around that are affected. I assume it is to hide the effectiveness of Iran retaliation to Iran or to public opinion.

Why are you not quoting the part where they say they cross-checked that the videos were real and the building was correctly identified ?

I don’t believe the people who contract them are being duped though. They do it to delegate and dilute the chain of responsibility until their decisions become acceptable.

Just checked, it appears you can renounce it :

the State Department no longer proactively attempts to prove such intent, and issues a Certificate of Loss of Nationality (CLN) only when an individual “affirmatively asserts” their relinquishment of citizenship.

It’s not, the map is wrong.

From what I recall of the only time I played it, it has a lot of going back and forth and large empty spaces which artificially extends the duration of the main story.
