I know that it gets physicaly hotter the larger the volume unless seperated. And you can't expose uranium or plutonium metal to oxygen or it burns like thermite. Sort of like phosphorus, which isn't a metal.
Syria might have a whole bunch of holes burned into the ground permanantly that they can't hide. So everybody shuts up waiting for Syria to embarrass itself by complaining. Since they didn't complain, assume it was no other hardware than nuclear.
Also, the Israeli ECM crew has been onto their Russian air defense system before they bought it. The Syrians would have both their ends laughed at.
Iran is watching this. And they know Amidouchebag is too stupid to shut up. There was another general that defected recently.
This whole business leaves too many questions. The Nork ship was tracked from NK to Syria, but the contents not destroyed until off-loaded and verified, and then it was hit immediately, by Israel.
Everybody knows that the Russian anti-air-crap sold to Syria and Iran doesn't work, so they're easy targets, anytime! Everybody also knows that Iran and Syria have been supplying arms and people, that are killing American Forces yesterday and today.
But it was critical to destroy the Nork stuff quick!
Which means that the Nork stuff was dangerous right-outta-the-box, but whatever other mischief Syria and Iran are working on can be dealt with whenever it becomes too dangerous, or whenever it's politically advantageous to do so.
It seems like we should have disposed of Iran many months ago, and now that the Primary Season is upon us, with the dhimmicRATS losing their 'lose-the-war' impetus, it would be a good time to end the Syrian and Iranian involvement in Iraq.
Lotsa bombs falling would force the candidates to choose between winning and losing, and America loves a winner! .......................... FRegards
