yeah, that's some quality fearmongering.

suicide bombs and vests are awful obviously and can kill a lot of people but even a perfectly placed and powerful as possible dirty bomb in a vest wouldn't have the payload to spread the material that would kill many many tens of thousands of people.

The GOP nominee isn't going to be either one of those fools. The GOP is going to end their decade-long marriage to Trump by running him out of town on a rail and scrub him from their official histories.

If Little Rubio and Co. think they're just gonna rewrite themselves out of these darkest days of our nation's history, which they helped propagate, they've got another thing coming. :mad: These deplorables' political careers should be done the nanosecond this anti-democracy administration leaves office.

some sort of dirty bomb suicide vest? or a bio weapon suicide vest?

the internet tells me that the smallest nuclear weapon that the US has is @ 18in x 12in and approximately 60lbs, the rest are way larger.

i doubt other countries have some sort of tiny nuclear weapon that we don't have....

That's just the warhead. The full weapon is the size of a backpack and weighs about 150 lbs.

Other countries could have such a nuke. This one was developed in the 1960s. Nobody has them any more because they are useless.
 
Its Thursday. Wonder where oil and the stock market will end up this week?

Pretty smart for Iran to signal it would give Spain a favor. Bet we will see more favors for other EU countries.
 
I don’t think today’s cabinet “meeting” fixed any of the complaints raised after the briefing Congress got last night:

“… “We want to know more about what’s going on, what the options are, and why they’re being considered,” the Alabama lawmaker [ House Armed Services Committee chair Rep. Mike Rogers] said. “And we’re just not getting enough answers on those questions.”


It’s a notable rebuke from a senior GOP defense hawk who has backed President Donald Trump’s decision to attack Iran — and a warning that the administration could lose support for the nearly month-old war if it can’t adequately make the case to Congress.

“That’s what I conveyed to them at the end of this hearing, is this has consequences if you don’t remedy it,” Rogers told reporters.

Rogers wasn’t alone in this sentiment.

“Let me put it this way: I can see why he might have said that,” Senate Armed Services Chair Roger Wicker (R-Miss.), said following a similar briefing, without elaborating. “I haven’t heard his comment, and I don’t know the context. But I can see why he might have said that.”…”
