WAR Iran nuclear weapons chatter suddenly radioactive

[Ragnar]

Nukes is scary enough that it is a big deal to use one and no one really wants to go first (or next).
If there was an actual EMP only bomb that was demonstrated that it works … that would be a game changer because a country would be more likely to use a bomb that did not “kill”.

Heck, there was a bunch of reliable reporting back in the mid/late 90's that Iran had bought 3 warheads from one of the former Soviet Republics (after the breakup of the USSR). I want to say Tajikistan, but maybe Kazakhstan. Either way, they got the warheads and only needed to develop the missile delivery systems and match them up. Oh wait... Iran now has long range missiles... So to me, whether or not they have developed their own warheads is irrelevant.

warheads are useless without the launch codes.

Rumor has it that Israel has at least 200 nukes and not just fission weapons. They can be delivered with sub launched cruise missiles, ICBMs and by aircraft.

N. Korea redux.

I gotta say, I'm not so worried about Russia or Iran or N Korea. I'm more worried about our own clowns doing something and making it LOOK like Russia or Iran or N Korea did it just to start another world war. ...and I think they'll do "it" on US soil. That's the fastest way to get the US into war.
