Small is probably not the same as low yield.

Yeah. You’d have to be pretty desperate to want to use a nuke. But the low yield character of it makes it more likely you’d use it.

I suppose part of the calculus is that they want to maintain our defensive posture as cheaply as possible. Nukes are cheaper than soldiers and tanks.

The US had low-yield nukes since the 1940s. But Libtard Dems want to RESIST.

Forget the low-yield nuclear weapons throw liberals at them it does far more damage and the after math lasts much longer.

It was converted in Bremerton and the summer I got to visit my son I was allowed to go into all but the reactor room. It was incredible; you were in the midst of a gigantic machine. Wires, pipes, instruments everywhere. I was awed by it and the realization of just how huge and destructive these weapons really are. It is one thing to theorize about them and another to actually see them.

I spent 16 years of my career in the Air Force version, the ICBM silos. Every day I was on/in one of those sites I remembered what it was and what it could do. I was always in awe and had pride while doing my duty.

So the democrats are against deterring Russia? I thought that was their main party policy now.
