Why?
honestly, if you were nuked I don’t think you’d even notice, a big flash and you’re gone....
Nah.
The nuclear “big flash and you’re gone instantly” region is only a few miles radius.
The rest of us (not under the big flash, or the slightly larger “big fire but not as quick a death”, nor the even larger “lots of wind damage but no immediate fire”) just have to put up with the (left over) liberal democrats surrendering ....
Those that are not requiring a Congressional investigation and asking “why don’t we arrest them” questions.
Someone mentioned Israel's Syria raid as well, and there might have been a wee bit of a retaliatory deterrent there as well.
Who was rattling what saber on the 29th of August, when this happened?
(Of course, deterrents aren't worth squat if no one knows about them...so I reckon, even the apparent 'leak' was intentional, too.)
From the article: No acknowledgment was made until service members leaked the story to the Military Times, which published a brief account Sept. 5.
Hmmmm. They would know better, I think, unless it was intentional all the way.
(Where did the "I can neither confirm nor deny..." bit go all of a sudden?)
It will be interesting to see where the officer 'relieved of his command' ends up.
Even if these were completely live weapons, loaded with fresh physics packages, fuel, batteries et al, they were not loaded up as such on the wing, and therefore how could they have been targeted?
And then if someone were to attempt to steal or launch the missile, how far would the B-52 ever get if it diverted off the mainland?
I don’t see how making the world (and all our own Leftards especially) think that we’re careless with nuclear warheads sends any “message” that we want to send.....??
Maybe I’m dense but I don’t get that....
And while the islamonut-jobs may well get a nuke and hit us with it, this is why it will be all over for him after that.
Depending on who is POTUS, the islamonut will see a pattern of 6 to 12 mega-ton nukes going off over Tehran, at 5,8,12k’ or whatever works best to make things hot real hot for him
