[QUOTE="Overpaid Union Thug, post: 1576708, member: 198"] Correct. And despite what we coming out of Hollywood, it's damn difficult to transport, or even make, nuclear devices that are small and compact enough to sneak into another country. Let alone the devices that would be required to actually turn Iran into a parking lot. But..... A limited nuclear strike that would be very hard to link to any particular nation's government is not so difficult to pull off. Most of the nations that have nuclear command and control capability can detect ANY missile just a few seconds (some faster) after they are launched. But a ship at sea that is unregistered or disguised that has been rigged with the capability to launch missiles can pull off a limited strike and be quickly destroyed to hide any connections to who is responsible for the operation. The odds that scenario will likely happen to our country are much, much higher than an actual nuclear exchange between us and another nation's government. Officially I mean. And the biggest fear in that scenario is that they will go for an EMP strike instead. Read "One Second After" for an example of that. Scary stuff. [/QUOTE]
