I assume that by "they" you mean Iran?

In that case, we don't need to do anything. Israel can/will take care of any preemptive strike. That's their M.O.

It may be a few days or a week or two but I suspect the retaliation will be much more than the warning last time.

What I mean is to make them available if they have an a/c to deliver.

Their F-15I's can carry all sorts of big bombs. I'm sure the Israeli's have plenty that will do the trick.

Suitcase nuke

Can't see how these don't exist..

Hope we don't have to find out..

Don't put anything past anyone these days..

I’m not entirely sure you can fit a thermo-nuclear device in a suitcase. The minimum critical mass of plutonium is 10kg, so maybe a low yield atomic device is possible.

Apparently Mossad HQ has now been leveled. So this is going to get interesting...

Splitting hairs as it is really about the radiation versus the actual initial demolition imo

A dirty bomb, exposure to radiation. It doesn’t have to be a nuclear triggered explosion, it just has to be big enough to spread it quick and far. Same thing if Russia hit a nuke energy plant in Ukraine. It would drift into other Europe countries closest.

Hundreds of nukes have been set off above ground since 1945. There was no nuclear winter. I suspect a nuclear war won't be the cataclysmic event feared. Of course millions will die and perhaps billions but not all 8 billion of us.

I suppose the difference would be in a nuke bomb radiation is incinerated. If you look at the Chernobyl, as in just leaked, the entire area is still nuclear contaminated and uninhabitable. Yet Japan is safe.

A dirty bomb would be more of delayed death as the exposure eats the body.

That plant in Ukraine id a very large dirty bomb if struck. As its blown into the air that active cloud would drift deep into Europe and years if not decades of all life/death issues. All depends on direction of wind and how much gets into the air.

That would probably be one the worst long term consequences of a nuclear exchange. Image of half the reactors melted down, that’s like mad

It would take an impossible amount of Tsar Bombas to end human existence on the planet. It would be a miserable existence for quite some time if only a few were lit however. At least from what I've read......

It's in Russia's best interest to NOT allow another steam explosion or any other type of radiation escape event from nuclear facilities in Ukraine. The prevailing winds tend to blow from west to east in the northern hemisphere and the previous explosion at Chernobyl bore that out as the vast majority of the fallout travelled to the northeast for about 350 miles. I remember it was about week later the radiation was detected on the west coast of the US at levels below the need for "concern." There was no partying in Minsk during that week.
