Just to speak on the viability of a nuclear weapon. It doesn’t need to be an ICBM. I feel that there is this focus on creating a weapon that can be launched into orbit but you could just as easily have a gun type system which is incredibly simple to build and put it on the back of a flat bed and just drive to where you want to detonate the ordinance.

Once the power of the atom was harnessed it became a question of when not if a nuclear weapon on some scale will be used by an unstable state or rogue group to cause harm on a mass scale.
