Will Chinese neutron bombs fall from the skies next year,or only airplanes? Also Russian nukes? And, what about Korean nukes?
Everyone- buy yourself some telescopes or binoculars before Dec 31!
Sky-gazing will have a great appear next year!
You will certainly need some things to do all those nites that the lites will be out!
The world's airliners, and the Chinese,maybe also the Russians may well provide a lot of free entertainment!
Those in apartments or with limited view of the skies will be very deprived when the show starts!
<China admitted yesterday that it has the ability to make a neutron bomb.
Two weeks ago, I interviewed Sam Cohen, the inventor of the technology. He told me on tape that he believes the U.S. gave China this technology in the 1980's. He discounts the Cox report on the supposed theft of U.S. atomic secrets by China. It was not theft.
This admission by China is relevant for y2k in the light of the problem known as "use it or lose it." Christopher Ruddy's new book, Y2K, Russia and the Threat of Nuclear War: A Risk Assessment, is worth reading on this matter. It's published by Newsmax.com, P. O. Box 20989, West Palm Beach, FL 33416. He says that the visible easing of tensions between Russia and China has dangerous implications for the West. The West may not be able to defend itself next year. With stolen technology, Russia will not be able to use its nuclear arsenal. Now what? There is this possibility: a dividing of influence: Russia gets the European sphere; China gets Asia. We could be heading back to the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, but with China rather than Japan as the dominant influence.

CHINA has the technology to make neutron bombs, it declared yesterday, stepping up the war of words with Taiwan and sending a blunt signal of defiance to America.
Neutron bombs kill with intense radiation but have lower explosive power, leaving infrastructure relatively intact. Although Americans have suspected that China possessed an "enhanced-radiation device" since a secret test in 1988, this is the first official confirmation. It puts intense pressure on Taiwan, which America is committed to defend against attack.
Yesterday's announcement came on the same day that a Communist military newspaper said the 2.5 million-strong People's Liberation Army was "furiously indignant" at President Lee Teng-hui of Taiwan for dropping the decades-old formula that there is only "one China". President Lee suggested last week that the two bitter rivals should maintain "state-to-state" relations, abandoning the diplomatic pretence that Taipei is the capital of all China, but also directly challenging Beijing's unswerving insistence that Taiwan is nothing more than a rebel province. . . .
