He has a point. It’s the delivery of nuke warheads to clients like Syria that might be a problem until the coordinates are established. Five minutes, no problem.

It is way more than that and the General is a nut.

It will allow Iran to move conventional military forces with impunity using tactical nukes as a deterrent to both our resolve to become involved anywhere nearby and also our ability to do so if we were so inclined.

Any large massing of troops or force would be subject to tactical nuclear fire, as would our Naval forces.

The Gordian knot was never fully solved in Europe, but we countered that force with sizable tactical or theatre nuclear weapons of our own.

To counter Iran, we would have to move a lot of nuclear weapons to hard bases, along with building and deploying many more cruise missile assets.

Are (hillary!) and a democrat controlled congress going to undertake a large nuclear buildup and theatre deployment?
