Blow up warhead plutonium enough to make it unrecoverable: “America exploded a deadly dirty bomb in Turkey!”
Blow up plutonium NOT enough to make it unrecoverable: “America allowed nuclear weapons material to fall into Turkish hands.”
Explain to me where you draw the line.
The plutonium is the prize, nothing else.
I’m pretty sure that destruction procedures and protocols were thought out before the weapons were deployed, and made clear to the host country. They know the rules.
