Not If, But When

Here is another report about the imminent danger of nuclear war:

Some little known facts:

  • The military-industrial complex has been advocating the use of micro/mini/tiny nuclear weapons for the past 30 years. I read their reports (the unclassified ones).
  • The project to build and deploy new nuclear weapons has been going on for at least 20 years, and now they will be stationed in multiple EU nations right on Russia's borders.
  • The US currently has no tritium production reactors, although it is reported new tritium stocks are being harvested from "civilian" nuclear reactors. The half-life of tritium is about 12.3 years, so if we did nothing the reduction via decay in our tritium inventory (used to boost the yield of H-bombs) would ultimately disarm us. This might encourage a "use 'em, or lose 'em" mentality, and it's probably a factor in the decision to build smaller yield weapons.
  • Many consider the Trident missile to be a first strike weapon. That is why the recent stunt of surfacing an Ohio class sub carrying Trident missiles in the Arabian Sea was so significant. That one sub could have destroyed just about everything of importance in Russia before the Russkies could even react to the launch.

I think we should spend less time arguing about the mental competency of John Fetterman and a LOT more time talking about the insanity of the people in DC who want to nuke the Russians.
