Are you F*&k*&g insane?

This is how countries can exploit the Gap between conventional bombs and multi-mega-ton nuclear weapons.

If, for instance, a country such as France or Germany used a very low yield nuclear weapon in the 1 kt range, what could the United States do about it?

Use a B-52 and drop 500 lb bombs with minimal effect, or fire off ICBMs and cause a global nuclear war?

America must (MUST) develop tactical nuclear weapons ASAP.

Are you asking me a question, or agreeing with my sentiment?

B-2 arrives, deposits a 200kt care package, and leaves. President asks new leadership "Y'all sure you want to play another hand?"

False dichotomy.

Your enemy has already started a "global nuclear war" by attacking the US with a nuke.

We wouldn't cause it. We would simply end it.
