Once again The Daily Mail proves itself to be the worst-edited rag on two continents. There’s no explanation whatsoever of the “$1trillion” screaming at us in the headline.

I gave one of those notes to my wife for Christmas some years back.

It was about $6.00 on eBay.

She keeps it in her office.

It’s really funny.

Actually, with the new strategic missile and infrastructure, new cruise missile, new boomer sub, warhead upgrades, alert aircraft and much, much more, yeah, a trillion over the next 30 years is probably a good number.

If an F15 can carry one, that means all our planes are potentially nuclear delivery platforms.

I loaded the MK-61, now the B-61, regularly on F-100D aircraft starting in 1969. Yes, any aircraft carries it. Back then the "B" was a designation for bombers and "MK" meant it had lugs for pylon mounting on fighter aircraft. Now all are called B-61.

It’s no secret that Israel has F-15/16s capable of delivering nukes. Not all of such planes are so equipped, but definitely doable.

I want them to utilize Nutron Weapons (Nuclear without the longterm radiation) that clears the field of the combatants and populace but allows the land to inhabited or occupied after 6-8 weeks....

At maximum yield it may well take out the plane that drops it.

What would be nice is to take out those subs in one flash, but leave their populace intact.

The last thing the world needs is "humane wars..."

For a 9 MT nuclear bomb, 60 miles is a near miss.

Hiroshima - 12.5 KT
Nagasaki - 21 KT

These would be considered “tactical nuclear bombs” today. Used solely to deny territory to an enemy for relatively short period of time.

Keep in mind too, that the power does not double when you have twice the fissionable material, it is squared.

In a matter of seconds life, as we know it, would be over and we would have to make some serious life decisions in a matter of moments.

Event the 250 KT would be a hell of a statement.
These statements should never be made.

With the advent of apocalyptic religious people with no idea of what a nuclear bomb really is or does, we need to have a defense that nullifies them long before they are detonated.

So far, only Japan knows the total destruction this kind of war would bring. Even then, only a small part.

OK, now that you’ve establised how tough you are, try engaging your brain. Suppose we want to knock out a NK missile site 40 miles from Seoul. Still want to use the biggest nuke you can find, or the smallest one that will do the job?

Well sweetheart, I recommend doing one of the following:
1) drop a smaller nuclear bomb and don't waste the extra nuclear fuel.
2) drop the bomb with the full yield dialed in but far enough NORTH that the blast does not affect Seoul.

Bless your heart.
