He wanted to use nukes on hurricanes, why not this?
Do you have a video that he said that? I've never seen a video where he says that.

Quote:Trump has floated the idea of thwarting hurricanes (ayatollahs?) headed for the US by bombing them, including by dropping nuclear bombs on hurricanes (ayatollahs?) to disrupt their course, Axios reported, citing conversations with sources who heard Trump's comments and were briefed on a National Security Council memo that recorded the comments.

I know Axios reported on it. I'm asking you if you have video of Trump actually saying it.

Quote:You believed a lot of things without evidence. RUSSIA COLLUSION!! is one shining example.
I don't have a video of Trump taking a dump, but I'm sure he has and will again. Same is true about him talking about nuking an ayatollah.
So why should anybody believe your beliefs?
Belief is for wimps and mental midgets!

The W76-2 warhead did NOT happen because ... TRUMP! It appears there is a minimum 5 year R&D / testing / retooling, and scale-up delay built in. That would put the W76-2 back in the Obama presidency.
And indeed, the W76 was first conceptualized in 1973, and had been in production since 1979. While the W76 life-extension / revamp as the W76-1 was slated for 207.

The W76 Warhead
May 1973 Development engineering begun at LANL
June 1978 First production units completed
The first W76 warheads are approaching the end of their originally planned 30 year service life in 2008. This led to the initiation of the W76-1/Mk-4A life extension program in 2000 to refurbish the warheads for decades of further service. The first W76-1 is planned for delivery in September 2007 with completion in 2017.
2000 Planning begun for the W76-1/Mk-4A life extension modification.
9/2007 Delivery of first W76-1 planned.

The first two of these LEPs, Life Extension Programs, were done for the ICBM warhead, the W87 and for the Trident warhead, the W76. There are more coming.

Obama pledged to reduce nuclear arsenal, then came this weapon
The U.S. is currently conducting a Life Extension Program for the sub--launched W76 warhead. This is extending its service life by three decades or more, and giving it a new fuze that is likely capable of more precise heights of burst. As far back as 1997 the head of the Navy’s Strategic Systems pointed out that the combination of increased accuracy and a changed fuze could transform the 100 kiloton W76 from a weapon of deterrence targeting soft targets such as cities into a hard target killer of missile silos and command centers.

... the President can use a low-yield nuclear weapon instead of being constrained by the large yields of ICBMs or SLBMs.
And if democrats don't do anything different, how are they any better?
