6 nukes fly over the US unnoticed

[Khamsin]

The real problem is that an unloaded gun still scares people. And as you can see from the fact that there's an article about it, so does the word nuke.

If the word nuke scares people, we should replace it with You-Know-What and That Which Must Not Be Named.

"That Which Must Not Be Named" is already taken.

Let's summarize the month of September up to now shall we?

Bush Warns US Will Confront 'Nuclear Iran'

'Three-Day Blitz Plan For Iran'

Iran warns of 'problems' if US attacks

We have two bizarre nuclear stories days apart:

Missing American Plutonium This raises fear of dirty bomb?

Report: Air force lost track of nuclear missiles This story obviously leaked to the media and allowed to be publicized by the mainstream media for some reason. Is someone being put on notice? In their outrage and surprise, people and the MSM are overlooking the obvious questions such as why were they being moved and why were they moved to a base that is involved in Middle East Operations?

Then we have Russian Leader Calls For Urgent Delivery Of Anti-aircraft Missile Systems To Iran. A story showing up in the business press and not covered by mainstream media.

Then we have Syria claiming violation of it's airspace with some reports that "something" was dropped and Israel claiming it's planes were shot at for no reason. Israel bombs Syrian targets (Mixed reports)

Now this: Iran offers to aid Syria following new tensions with Israel

We also have: RAF Fighter Planes Intercept Russian Bombers where EIGHT bombers were intercepted. I mean I could see a patrol of 1 or two bombers, but a fleet of eight? That'll get somebody's attention!! The story also takes care to point out that these can carry cruise missiles and nuclear weapons.

So on one side we have the US and Israel flexing their muscle probing the other sides defences and rattling their nuclear sabres and on the other we have Syria, Iran and Russia flexing their muscle probing the other sides defences and rattling their nuclear sabres...

There's also the very bizarre announcement that the US will ground all of its fighters and bombers in the US on September 14.

Something is definitely going on behind the scenes.

That's a summary of September. All of that happened in 6 days time. Click the original link and it links all of those articles to news websites, he just simply brought it all together. Kinda scary...

Im surprized they wernt 'mistakenly' dropped.

Why would they be? gtfo lib

[Demosthenes11]

I blame bush

[evilbau]

I'm willing to bet that it wasn't 6 nukes 'mistakenly flown over the US' but simply they were caught flying 6 nukes over the US. There are submarine based nukes patrolling the world most of the time.

Also, I agree with the people who say the warheads are designed not to be armed unless explicitly directed to, but that doesn't mean there wouldn't be a detonation if it were dropped. They put as many safeguards into place, but there is still a risk. And the deteriorating state of Russia's nuclear arsenal is indeed scary (lol i was just picking out the points that were correct)

You know what, it really does. fission just doesn't work like that. Is a rubik's cube going to solve itself when you drop it out of a plane?

and you could definitively say that the electronics that arm it would never malfunction under any circumstances upon impact. if you didn't notice i was agreeing with you but still left a realistic possibility that everything doesn't always work as designed

Nuclear bombs have exploded unintentionally in the past from an air collision during refueling. It was back in the 60's. Iirc, there were 3 bombs, one exploded, one was discovered on land in tact, and the other was at the bottom of the ocean for months before it was ever found, also in tact. So yeah, if the plane were to somehow crash, it could have became a very serious problem. With that said, I don't find it to be as big of a deal as the media is making it out to be. The military is taking the proper pre-cautions to prevent this from happening again (although I think you'd be naive to think that this doesn't happen more often than reported). But bandwagon incompetency comments are always welcome, as well as the "i'm moving to ...". Let's go ahead and blame Bush as well.

edit: Link to accident in the 60's info. I was a bit off on my details.

Similar event happened right where I live.

Water has tasted funny since.

I know the "I'm moving to" thing has been said many times but all this unnecisary bullshit that is going on with and without being reported is kind of pissing me the fuck off! IIRC Bush went after Iraq because "Sadam tried to kill his father" he even announced it in a broadcasted meeting this is IIRC! The thing is... Even if I say I want to move... Its not going to happen unless some stupid shit like really fucking stupid shit happens! SUPER DIVIDED BY ZERO STUPID SHIT!

Well I misunderstood then. As long as you understand that it's a mechanical system that arms a warhead and not just an electronic one, I'll admit that kind of possibility.
