Okay - thanks for that. I’ve heard some needed those triggers but I guess that was old style stuff.

Triggers went the way of the Dodo a long time ago. The devices have been sealed units for many moons.

The B-61 series was one of the several systems I worked on with the Labs for maintenance and modifications.

Ok, so it was written 2 years ago,
And by a leftist.

1. Has anything changed for
the better in Turkey?

2. That the author is a leftist as you call him makes his argument invalid?

Letting religious fanatics who believe it is their moral responsibility to make way for the end of the world is extremely high risk

Dear President Trump,
It would go a long way in instilling friendship and trust with Israel, if these nukes and their triggers would be delivered (separately) as a gift to the Government of Israel.
Do this and watch talking heads explode.

I’m pretty sure we relocated those 50 nukes. Maybe to Romania.

As recently as YESTERDAY, we have had this report:

Erdogan Holding 50 US Tactical Nukes 'Hostage' As Trump Authorizes Sanctions

The New York Times said:

"And over the weekend, State and Energy Department officials were quietly reviewing plans for evacuating roughly 50 tactical nuclear weapons that the United States had long stored, under American control, at Incirlik Air Base in Turkey, about 250 miles from the Syrian border, according to two American officials."

Your view and mine. But is it any worse than the socialist outlook of control also that creates the same problems from the opposite direction which is nothing more than Islam with Armani suits?

The public in the US has not been brought aware of what the government actually does in so many thesis that this is nothing any different than our own trash hole local. This is why the socialists win because they can come up with more ways to create problems that keep the GOP apologizing or conceding and taking blame for than the GOP can take credit for their successes. It’s been going on for over a century.

Can the Turks get at the devices? Not and have them workable, no. They will be destroyed long before they get through the front door. And if they go far enough, when you consider what a device is, they will be written off.

A device, or reactor for that matter, is nothing more than a repository for enriched or enriching uranium. And we’ve had uranium and weapons stored in the US for many years no one in the populous knows where or even that the storage exists. They don’t care. They figure it is but as long as it doesn’t bite them on the keyster, no big deal.

So when the US is leaving turning out the lights, there will be nothing to work with other than the actual uranium they could get out of Niger, South American, Korea, and other places it exists in the ground.

I would choose american socialism over an Iranian ICBM and nuclear warhead in San Deigo. Socialism is subject to being overturned, Death is not.

What kind of question is that? Has a Leftist ever told the truth to anyone? Yes, it makes his argument invalid.

Iran doesn’t have anything that can even travel over 1300 miles. They have nothing that can hit the continental US.

Socialism is right here already and will destroy our country financially and philosophically which would weaken our respect from other countries and promote more terrorism and deaths. It would bring the violence back to our shores to include some of the suitcase bombs that can act a lot like the big guys you fear. Action/reaction.
