Tough reading when you live across the river from NYC.

Start by visualizing billions of dollars in U.S. cash sent "to Iran," on pallets.

[Responsibility2nd]

Just Google New York Garbage Strike and you'll get an idea.

Is 46 kilograms about 100 pounds?

Seems like a lot.

I work in the Poconos, and after the Iran deal went through, I half expect to see a mushroom cloud over NYC one day.

[JoeFromSidney]

Herman Kahn's book Thinking About The Unthinkable is still worth reading.

[BigEdLB]

New York becomes a purple state from deep blue

[Rummyfan]

What would it look like? At least ten million dead I would say. And a clean-up that would take decades.

Based on Reports from New York Freepers, I thought red.

To make America America, New York and San Francisco or LA must go

[Rummyfan]

Kilograms - to - pounds, multiply by 2.2

End with everyone on facebook and twitter saying we need to light a candle and pray against Islamophobia as they change their background images to pictures of new york.

Not really.

Unless you think coming up with 46 kilograms of highly enriched uranium is a piece of cake. (IOW more than a hundred pounds.) You need to know what to do with the stuff, and how to do it; and you need to do it without setting off a Geiger Counter somewhere.

Meanwhile, somewhere upstate...

I still have my 1980s Far Side coffee mug with that image on it.

Has the color of the ribbon and silicone bracelet been decided on yet?

[TADSLOS]

A buying opportunity.

I’ll say this much: based on 9/11 if a terrorist nuked NYC the very next day the press will be able to find Ivy League nitwits who won’t be able to say that what the terrorist did was evil.

Indeed, given the spread of Cultural Marxist nitwittery it should prove easier to find them and also to find them in numbers.

They’ll probably blame us Deplorables for electing Trump.

Or maybe Jews and Christians for being insensitive to Islam....

My Father’s battalion was sent into Berlin not too long after the Russians captured it.

He took a lot of photos. Most of Berlin was badly damaged. I particularly remember one of Berlin High School. It was simply a pile of rubble. Most of the rest of the city was the same.

Since taking office, the president has boasted about the size of his “Nuclear Button,” jettisoned the nuclear deal with Iran, and threatened to unleash “fire and fury like the world has never seen” on North Korea.

Nice timing on the article, fellas. Countdown to NY Magazine claiming Trump's Korea negotiations were a bad deal...three...two...

Thats what gets me about all of this - there has to be a whole lot of things go just right for this to work (properly) can still make a big mess even if it messes up - but just don’t see the probability of it.
