If he's got a tritium-boosted suitcase now, it sounds like he still has a wide time window of opportunity. Far too wide.

Depends on when the last infusion of tritium was placed into the bomb. If it was 6 to 8 years ago, there could be a significant yield of molecular Helium-3 already..

Btw, we are running into the same problems with upkeep of our own nukes, if I remember correctly. I seem to remember that the upkeep window is about 6 to 7 years for Tritium swapout.
