One, a 1.4 Megaton hyrdogen bomb was exploded 250 miles over Johnston Island.
And there is the key. High yield, low mass, Thermonuclear weapon, launched to leo. Iran can't do any of those things. Even if they get a low yield fission bomb that won't do the trick. Too heavy, not enough yield. And any launcher that can loft it will tell everybody who fired the shot. Remember our nukes, especially the subs, are EMP hardened. One second after might be bad for us. However 30 minutes after, when our counter strike arrives, is going to be very bad for them.

A container carrier, a conex box, a gps unit and a nuke = poor man’s ballistic missile.

Do you really think Obozo would nuke anyone? I hope you’re in the market for a nice bridge, cause I am selling one.
