(172 posts)Good for some things, but real facts, eh, not so much.
Anyway, a B83 1.2 megaton bomb weighs in a 2,400 pounds, yes, it does have enough shielding included in that not to kill the pilot and crew, but such bombs still leak a lot of radiation. You would probably have to add 1-2 times that weight in either lead or depleted uranium shielding for it to not set off radiation monitors. And yes, there are radiation monitors at the borders of most countries. The US has them, and I guarantee Israel has them. You won't see them, you're not meant to, but they're there.
Oh, and that intelligence I'm stating is coming from the IAEA. I included the Gabbard testimony to show where the Trump administration is at.
Again, Israel and Netanyahu has been crying wolf about the immi ent Iranian bomb for twenty years now, yet nothing has ever been proven. Should we bomb Iran just because he says so?
