American civilians killed by Iran made nuclear slingshots and slippping on nuclear banana peels.
Won't be so funny when you fall and split your pants (nuclear-style).
The US is incentivizing Iran to make nukes.
The fear mongering
"Vance says" is like when my 3-year-old blames everything on the cat. Who ate all the nesquik Jonathan, was it the cat, or was it you with nesquik on your face? Who can say.
Thats.......not how nuclear arms work.
Isn't the smallest effective nuke the Davy Crocket? Pretty sure it's warhead is still the size of a large hardcase suitcase.
SADM. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_Atomic_Demolition_Munition
the M388 looks small because you're used to seeing normal recoilless rifles, not the mongo m29 one used to propel the M388 warhead on the Crocket..
https://www.warhistoryonline.com/weapons/davy-crockett-weapon-system.html it's certainly still 'small' for a nuke, but iirc the sadm is smaller.
Isn't that from the 1950s? Maybe top secret tech has progressed since then.
It's from the 50s but as I understand it nukes as we have them now require certain physical properties and dimensions to work with that being about as small as you can get. Anything smaller and the reaction either fizzles out, you get a dirty bomb, or the explosive yield is worse than traditional explosives of equivalent size. To make it any smaller you'd need a fusion bomb most likely.
Right? Nuclear arms are supposed to be on arm sleeves, not vests.
The demonic ritual of human sacrifice
Maybe a dirty bomb with nuclear materials, but an actual fission bomb on a vest? No. Never mind they don't have the enriched fuel, never mind just building a working device would be extremely difficult for them and that would be large like the Hiroshima bomb.
This is Iraq Weapons of Mass Distraction all over again. Fuck this administration.
The US made, in its dr. strangelove years, 2100 "davey crocket" backpacks that were 51lbs. The suicide vest is an arab insurgent tool, and meant to be much more discrete.
Iran is pretty good at missiles, and 4 weeks ago, and for last 30 years, was supposedly 2 weeks away from a nuke, as well as having a thing against Israel.
FWIW, wp:Suitcase nuclear device.
Allegations were made in the 1990s that Israel had developed suitcase nuclear bombs during the 1970s.[28]
yeah the idea that Iran would use humans as delivery mechanism for nuclear weapons is a form of racist fetishization. it's maddening, this man. but then. i'm appalachian. i'm the hillbilly that racist carpet son of a bitch hayseed spoke ill of in his book. and i swear to GOD that man put soap in the cast iron skillet i'm gonna hit him in the face with
Soap is fine as long as you have a complete seasoning.
yeah but you just know he'd put an old cast iron dutch oven straight in the dishwashes and then the cupboard
he whistles in the woods at night and in the house in the day
he painted his backdoor blue
he shoots birds at the window with a bb gun
...whats wrong with a blue backdoor?
appalachian folklore. it invites vile spirits into your home
A backpack device is BIG. It could not be concealed like a suicide vest. It also requires nuclear materials (plutonium) and a specialty implosion design and triggers Iran does not have.
An Atomic Demolition Munition was nearly the size of a 55-gallon drum and came in two pieces for making it easier to transport.
The nuclear vest bomb was in a movie I have a feeling have just watched.
Gun-type nukes are relatively easy to make and can be pretty compact. The hard part is getting the plutonium
It is actually possible, though it would stretch the definition of "vest." It's not something that can really fit on a vest, but I suppose you could hide it in a fat suit, a wheelchair, or a fake pregnancy belly.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W54
The W54 was a 1 kiloton bomb that weighed a bit over 50 lbs. It was built to be a man-portable demolition charge. It's certainly possible for something like that to be built in a way that could be concealed on your person.
I love how inconspicuous it is:
Like something from Looney Tunes.
It’s not something that can really fit on a vest, but I suppose you could hide it in a fat suit, a wheelchair, or a fake pregnancy belly.
Maybe that's why people keep backing away from Trump. It's not incontinence, it's their dosimeter badges.
They cannot build a W54. This would be an early prototype device and that would not fit on a vest. Iran only has enriched uranium, not plutonium (according to news reports). It takes a great deal more uranium than plutonium to build a bomb. About 65ish kilos of +90% enriched for a uranium bomb.
The W54 is a shaped charge implosion device. To build a W54, they'd need plutonium. And the trigger to detonate shaped charges at the right time in the right order. Plus, they need a neutron moderator to limit criticality so it doesn't detonate with the full potential of the nuclear material. This is all well beyond Iran's capabilities.
Russia could do it though. Probably China too. North Korea? I think not.
That seems impractical.
I mean you could microwave your lunch at your desk, this is big
at this point, he's just my mom's facebook news feed in human form.
... and unfortunately it's working.
