Nope, you can reactivate depleted uranium. We've actually tested it, funnily enough. Basically, from what I've read, when you bombard depleted uranium with neutron and high-energy radiation (like, say, getting caught in a nuclear blast), you make anything that is wrapped in the stuff catch...

You forget that there is a damn good possibility that a good portion of these nukes is 'salted', i.e. have things like depleted uranium and cobalt tapers so when the nuke goes off, they 'salt' the earth. The reason that NATO considers the US's version of composite armor a deathtrap in a nuclear...

You're just a second-wave target, I'm afraid...

Largely because those who get slated for such targets are not the ones to balk at the idea. Please note that every nuclear power did this, it's just Russia/USSR had a far more thorough plan of action for it. That's why whenever Pakistan and India come to blows anymore, people get real antsy...

No, it's more like 'ensure that what happened in the two world wars never happens again'. A lot of the Soviet/Russian military policy is based on that statement.

Not really, the thing was what we know of the plans were extensive, as in 'planned to fight a war in the fallout and our cities nuked' extensive (this is probably why they had the CAT system in the first place). By that point, NATO (or anyone else really) wouldn't have any leftover capacity to...

Largely because of the paranoia. The general plan, from what I've been told, is pretty simple: nuke everyone then give an anthrax chaser at every breadbasket that isn't under their control with hemerogic smallpox to keep the biowar teams from killing off the anthrax spores. Russia, above all...

Eh, came up when talking about Ukraine and how it's largely a no-win scenario.

Funny thing is that one of the customers I served yesterday had this to say: he'll just go to his porch with a six-pack because he lives near five silos... make of that as you will.

I'm dead fifty ways from Sunday, so I'll have to get a .22 revolver out and commit suicide. Why? The last nuke maps I've checked had everything east of the Rockies plastered with red, and that's just for Montana. That red? It means I'll die within 24 hours of acute radiation poisoning... and add...
