Bunch of fearmongering nonsense.
OK ...
Apply the three variables of:
(1) How much negative impact would the event cause IF if happened
(2) How plausible is the event
(3) How probable is the event
Consider those to be X, Y, Z variables.
In your mind, the resultant vector would be quite close to the origin, thus “fear-mongering nonsense.”
Others may disagree, especially for variables 1 and 2.
Any result that gets you off the origin is worth a level of at least contingency planning if not active preparations.
My four cents.
“Bunch of fearmongering nonsense.”
I guess you have not studied the design and use of these weapons. This threat is VERY real. The pity is, it would only cost $6-12 billion to HARDEN our infrastructure so as to make it impossible for the NORKS to attack. But Obama WON’T do it.
