Okay, whatever. I keep pretty well informed on things from the radio, TV, net, etc., and this was the first time I had seen something so detailed and specific, including names of people in government and intelligence who went on the record backing up the assertions in the article. It's hardly speculation and opinion. As for no functional nukes in the States. I personally know someone who worked in military intelligence in the 70s and 80s, and he has said bluntly that the CIA and NSA knew of dozens of Soviet sleeper cells in the U.S., and their greatest fear was that they smuggled in small nukes to use at key targets as part of a preemptive strike if it ever came to that. That article touches on that also.

If you've seen something that debunks the content of that article, I'd love to see it, but just because it's not first hand, doesn't mean it's not credible. NO ONE posts first hand information here, so just because I got this from my cousin's husband who's very active politically doesn't make it slop. I'd heard chit chat about nukes in the U.S. for years since 9-11, but nothing as detailed as that article I posted complete with names of people in government who went on the record. Had you? And, I said I was new, so if it was old, I didn't know. That's why I said it. :)

Well just wait and see what happens when you misspell a word in your title... (Tip - ALWAYS use the FR spell checker)

You're on FR now. Just having fun :)

Back to the original topic, from everything I've read and seen, even if there were a suitcase nukes available there are too many things that make them nonfunctional unless maintained by a govt. with the proper technology.

It is old but, that's okay. We have new people here who haven't seen it before.

BTW, welcome to FR.

You're cool. Some here like to impress everyone (and themselves) with their time here. They get a rise out of ridiculing people if they are relatively new here. Ignore them.

Your news is not particularly new, but it is very much worth seeing again. It is a very disturbing story.
