They claimed it would be "an even stronger strike than nuclear weapons".

Shit...they've got asteroids?

Yeah, right, stronger than nukes...sure.

"Yeah, right, stronger than nukes...sure."

One thing potentially stronger, would be poison gas. Sure there wouldn't be property damage. But multiple large releases around a metropolitan area can kill millions.

I sure as hell hope our leaders have the guts to counter-strike if this ever happens, by targeting every major city of unfriendly arab countries with multiple nukes. 1 billion dead arabs would be about right.

A fellow US NAVY man involved in highly classified research at a highly guarded CA site noted one day quietly

that we had

11

weapons systems EACH ONE OF WHICH WERE MUCH MORE DEVASTATING THAN ATOMIC WEAPONS.

That was more than 32 years ago.

They might be referring to anthrax which doesn't decay like the radioactive isotopes or a biowarfare attack as it was posted awhile back that al quada might have purchased ebola.

I suspect it is nuclear though and it might be a big weapon purchased through the Russian black market or directly from North Korea or China.
