Where would you Nuke? - Page 3

I deleted the bit, because I would never remember to do it later.

I heard somewhere that all the Wal-Marts and K-Marts in the Middle East are being torn down and revamped... as Targets.

BrianR · 01-28-2003, 10:47 AM

NOWHERE!

The truth is: I have only one nuclear weapon. My enemies most likely know that. If I use it, not only do I leave myself open to retaliation, I now no longer HAVE that weapon.

I personally believe that I would get much more terror (and concessions, natch) from a nuke sitting in an unspecified location. Maybe Washington DC, maybe London, maybe under the Eiffel Tower... one would never know for sure...

And any terrorists reading this can feel free to quote me and use the idea. NYEH!

     I'd have to hit the west coast, one of the major cities other than LA. 'Cause of the jet stream, ever watched national weather? Well, raidiation is effected by wind currents. Hit NY and the radiation would largely go over the ocean, hit LA and it spreads over the US. Depending on yield and type of nuke. That's what 'Dirty' nukes do best, spread radiation. That's also the most likely nuclear threat. In the most likely scenario. Lot's of people are already expierienced at smuggling things into the country around those parts...

     Sleep well all.

Hey!!! Leave Pugetropolis out of this!

My nuke would be stripped and the core reprocessed into fuel to power the seaside resort/casino. No body hurt, and my populace and I are rolling in cash.

I would make an excellent president for life! My country would be fun...

It's cheaper to eliminate the regulators and inspectors rather than let them require safety equipment in your nuclear power plant.

Uryoces · 02-02-2003, 11:45 PM

In my country of Miketopia, I have inspectors from the UN present so there is no misunderstanding of what I'm doing. Safety first! I want my neighbors to feel safe about what I'm doing.

In Miketopia I have one monitored breeder reactor to reprocess and create fuel for my other reators, all helium-cooled pebble-fuel reactors.

Hubris Boy · 02-03-2003, 01:12 AM

Your neighbors here in the Anglican Republic of Hubristan have never bought into all that nonproliferation nonsense.

All of our domestic electricity needs are furnished by a couple dozen decommissioned sodium-cooled submarine reactors that we got for an excellent price from a former admiral in the ex-Soviet navy back in '92. We daisy-chained them together and ran a big copper cable into the "reactor containment vessel"; aka "the big shed out behind the Sycamorian embassy."

It seems to be working out well so far, except for the luminescent giant bats, and a spot of trouble a busload of tourists from Warchylvania had with the three-headed goatboy...

So, ummm... how's things working out with that giant, beryllium-coated "peace sphere" that we sent you? Have you found a place to put it yet?

Uryoces · 02-03-2003, 03:36 AM

Mmm! Wha-?

Sorry! Just enjoying my peace sphere. It keeps me so toasty warm!

I read this the other day. Today it makes me laugh again. I liked this one.

OK, this was stupid. Post something for a day, I missed it. I read this part, the enclosed was deleted, earlier this week but was too busy at work to reply.

Anyway, I think I got the gist from the link someone posted to the flooding of the NY Subway Station at WTC after 9/11.

If that is what it was, or anything close to it, DUH. That's been an obvious attack point for years. To think your post was controversial is dumb. Believe me, the terrorists have "cased the joint", not just NY, but the US.

And then for everyone to argue about it...

This thread asked a simple question. Go back and read it. No turning your nuke into to reactor for cheap power for a beach resort, or "I'd keep it to intimidate my neighbor countries", or "Post this for 2 days ONLY".

Answer the question... The terrorists are truly too stupid, and do need your help to find a target... Yep.... DUH!!!!!

This question was asked to get YOUR take on things, not to start hiding posts, starting disagreements, or so on... I thought my Canadian friend's view was unique, one I hadn't thought of, that's why I asked the question.

Uryoces · 02-03-2003, 07:01 PM

MW: You sound tired, tense, and frustarated. Would you like to spend a complimentary weekend in the Miketopia Resort?

Griff · 02-04-2003, 07:35 AM

Where do our nation-states come down on this?

After realizing that nobody wanted anything but a good time in privately armed Griffbeeria, I've decided to UPS my nuke to the Kurds.

Dammit, mw, don't you know there are terrorists who read the cellar?!? Now the secret's out! Nice fucking job. If people die, the blood is on your hands.

Uryoces · 02-04-2003, 12:51 PM

Women in the church? I'll have to ask Cardinal Susan about that...

Meanwhile, Miketopia is in talks with Griffbeeria about hop shipments.
