How do you "launch" a nuclear bomb without a bomber aircraft or a rocket of some kind?

The best a country such as Iran could do is either get one close to the border of a very close country (such as Israel) and detonate it at the border - it's unlikely they could get one inside the country - or put one in a shipping container and convince the ship's crew to get it into a port and detonate it, which would be a suicide mission.

Either way, the leadership of said country would likely be killed to the last person. Only someone completely suicidal would actually carry out such an attack. It would result in total war against that country's leadership - an extinction-level event for them.

It will happen soon. Where? who knows. Trump might still Nuke Iran since they won't quit fighting. Israel might against Iran because they are getting shit kicked out of them. Pakistan could against AFGAN or India. India would if Pakistan does. NorthKorea is looking for a reason too. Russia against Ukraine in near futureI would say US, Israel, Pakistan, Russia North Korea are leading choices. But Iran might be able to put together a Dirty Bomb to use on Israel if they can get the DOME and safety nets of Israel empty. Israel deserves it to happen with all the people they have murdered recently.

That’s a very real fear for americans. We’ve had the privilege of participating in several wars that never took place on our soil. The fact that it might change, that it could very easily change if someone in power is angry enough and decides it’s worth fighting us on our own land, is terrifying to me.

Im currently more worried about terrorism. Like the Manchester bombing.

Chazmatazz269 · Answer

I don’t worry about much.
If i have a problem and i can do something about it, then i set myself to doing something about it.
If i have a problem and there’s nothing that i can do about it, then i accept that there’s nothing i can do and i turn my attention toward things over which i have some semblance of control.
Worry is nothing more than a complete waste of time and energy.

If anyone does, it will be US, or Israel. One is run by a madman, the other is run by a toddler. Both would rather destroy the world than lose.

I just hope I die in the resulting nuclear apocalypse, because I don't want to live through nuclear winter.

Pterodon · Answer

I lived through the Cold War. When I was in elementary school we used to have fallout shelters and Civil Defense food boxes everywhere. We used to do A Bomb drills in school. No I’m not afraid. In the Cold War we lived with a very real A Bomb threat. Iran had enriched their uranium to 60%. It would’ve only taken one more week to enrich to 90% or weapons grade. Using enriched uranium over 20% is not used for peaceful purposes. Iran would have been one to use it. They really don’t have any way to deliver it though so they’d sell it to one of their proxies. Thank you obamapussy for paying them

Yes. Any country with no respect for its citizens' death is not deterred by "mutual destruction " whether they believed death earns them virgins or north Korea president. In fact north Korea is on iran side. So Kim is very likely gonna nuke me here in new York city or at least give a couple nukes to his ally iran to shoot at Israel and at n. y. c. What about pakistan? well now you know why we u. S. Bribed it with tanks and jets. That it used on victim india!

Anything is Possible but you have to understand with all of the country's leaders there's too much greed to do that so none of them will even try to do it because there's too much money that they don't have yet and that's what it's all about anyway is greed do you think they're going to take away from themselves hell no

Lliam · Answer

The most likely one to launch a nuke is Israel. Those people are complete psychos and I do worry about that.
The only other country who would be crazy enough to launch a nuke is the USA, but that is far less likely. Trump is crazy, but he doesn't have the ability to launch one without approval.

Berethor · Answer

Only the Iranian Regime is insane enough to do it, so it can't be allowed to have nukes.

Anonymous · Answer

Nope. Maybe we need an exchange to remind everyone what's at stake here. I mean 81 years. And it was just an Atom bomb then. Our biggest (the Titan II) carries a warhead that's 600 times more powerful today. Maybe we need a small reminder of what's at stake. And why we can never let this go full scale.

LiamJHayden · Answer

People sem to forget that both India and Pakistan have nukes. That will be the exchange, unless some lunatic group gets one first.

AviatorTom · Answer

Do I worry about it? No. Do I think it's a possibility? Yes, but I prefer not to think about it, especially when there is nothing I can do about it.

foxsquirrell · Answer

It depends where they launch it. But I don't think they will. If they want to get rid of certain people they don't need to use a nuclear bomb they can do it with other weapons of mass killing.

FreyaRed · Answer

Israel is crazy enough, while due its size and concentration of population around few cities is Israel practically very easily to destroy due nuclear exchange

Spencer10 · Answer

With the present Stable Genius in power? Hell yes I worry about it. I believe the Domesday Clock is presently the closest it has ever been to midnight since the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Only America, especially when being run by someone with all the impulse control of a toddler

exitseven · Answer

Yes, it is a concern. There are cultures that do not value human life and tin pot despots that could have access to nukes. That is what scares me.

Poutine has threatened it so many times that by now it has lost its scariness. 🙄

msc545 · Answer

I worry about it, but it's a relatively low-level worry, since there's nothing I can do about it.

Not at all. Another power plant is more likely to melt down.
