Trump says he bombed Iran

[sahgwa]

They are all saying between 'severe destruction' to 'destroyed'.
Their experts basing their wording on their intel.

And no, with all that earth and all that rock and all that concrete sitting on top of 60% nuke material you aren't going to detect it.

Let's not forget for the sake of discussion and speculation that USA has been said to have had clean nuclear weapons since the 1960s under Kennedy, with 99.-something% cleanliness, no radiation leaking.

Run it through AI and have it sung as Marty Robbins....

Put me in the mood for some old cowboy movies now.

Some John Wayne movies.

Maybe some Bonanza.

Or the second season of Yellowstone 1923, that will do. 

Suppose i better get back on topic though.

No nuclear weapon is entirely clean.

Even low-fallout designs still produce radiation due to the fission triggers and neutron activation.

Do you have a source?

Do you have a source?

A pure fusion device might do it.

But that's impossible because even fusion bombs have fission triggers, as far as i know. 

I mean, maybe with advanced lasers or magnetic confinement, but that's like Star Trek level technology.

good song. i wouldnt mind buyin that on disc. the original album ;)

LoL

I wonder if they will ever remake that show?




I mean it has potential and was rather great now i come to think on it.

Today initially An audio interview with a 'hack from South Dakota' 
Let me check his blog. . . 
Aha

Most of the "bad stuff" is coming from the fission reaction, including those fast neutrons. So the quest of thermonuclear engineering has always been for a means of initiating a fusion reaction (the really big explosion) without an a-bomb to set it off (a really big explosion without the nasty by-products).  The latter quest as birthed all sorts of stories about substances or methods able to accomplish this, from the Red Mercury legends (which I've talked about in my books), to the tests of the so-called "Ripple" technology during the last atmospheric test shot of the American Operation Dominic, a test which I have talked about with our friend and colleague Daniel Liszt (Dark Journalist) on his show.  This last test, according to publicly available information,  was the last atmospheric test of a hydrogen bomb done by the United States in 1963, and was personally authorized by then-president Kennedy. The test allegedly achieved a fusion reaction that was "99.99 percent clean", i.e., with very little residual radioactive fallout.  Shortly after this test, the Soviet Union signed the nuclear test ban treaty, and my suspicion is that the USA, under Kennedy's prompting, shared the results of the test with the Soviets.  The reason for the sudden Soviet acquiescence is simple: if the USA did manage to explode a "clean" hydrogen bomb, then the unthinkable just became thinkable: one could achieve strategic destruction on a potential enemy without the radioactive fallout blowback on oneself.
