FWIW, it was reported that the ones that went missing were probably bought up by the usual suspects!
Great advances in technology have greatly shrunk the size of nuclear weapons!
Mind you, lots of folks haven't seen mega-ton nuclear weapons. Yet they accept the fact they exist! Ditto for suitcase-size nuclear bombs etc. And of course, as a gold trader, you know very well it is possible to buy and sell things without ever having seen them first. <ggg>
Of course, being in possession of the suitcase bombs is one thing, and whether the enemy could deploy and set them off is another. Many remain optimistic they can't be brought over here without being detected. But, FWIW, Sollog at sollog.com doesn't seem to think so.
In any war, bluffs, lies and deceptions go on all the time.
As Hitler and Goebbels (his chief propagandist) had discovered, the bigger the bluff/lie, the more credible it becomes if it is propagated often enough. So, is it really that surprising OBL starts claiming he has nukes? |
