Governments that have a hair up their behind, can act like children. We have one in office right now.


Like Bush.

A jet pilot being contacted in flight. The control code "Tiger Alpha" idents the communication as authentic.

The pilots responds to the authentication.

The mission controller asking if he sees the cask.

He says yes and that he has acquired the target for laser guidance. Then asks for attack orders. The "vector" is the approach angle and attitude prescribed for that sortie.

The controller says no. Then tells the pilot to "hang around a bit" to wait for the train to get up wind of a city.

The pilot accepts the communication as a direct command. Then confirms the order.

The controller confirms and clears the channel.

The F-117 can carry two laser-guided bombs so accurate, that they can go through not just the window of your choice, but which pane. The first would crack that cask in two. The second would be an incendiary. Well, to insure maximum possible tactical yield. Why? Because its his job, not that he would want to personally cause such horror.

The "3 for 1 sale" remark, that may be taken as zeal, is actually identifying the 3 tactical levels of assault. It is to reconfirm that the pilot and controller are absolutely sure before proceeding, as they both need to be sure for themselves before releasing such destruction.

The reason why I said it this way, using the military communication style, is to drive home a point, not to tic you off. The part that isn’t obvious is the lack of the direct use of the word “cask”. This is to protect the communication, so if you don’t know what’s up you wont understand. Giving the pilot better chances, preventing discovery while loitering.

Skycap this is F117, authenticating 5 2 9er go code.

Roger, Standing down. RTB ETA 17 min. Coordinating with SOD and will advise of secondary’s on egress.

Acknowledging communication: Whiskey Alpha Romeo break India Sierra break Hotel Echo Lima Lima, as affirmative.

Skycap F117 zulu zulu zulu: format confirmed.

Aye Aye, Standing down.

Ah, but you don’t understand. I am talking about reality. A reality that I hope never happens.

The bigger picture is really that what makes us as a world, is not through our strengths, but the infirmity of stupidity. This is true here as well as in the real world.

It’s always going to be the weakest link that snaps.

Think about it a bit. The problem with nuclear power is not its strengths, it is it's weaknesses.

Now, eso, what is the jet pilot talking about? Or better, what is he doing? He is bombing the cask on a train carrying nuclear material that D has pointed out in that youtube flick as being so indestructible. Not only can he destroy it, he can split it in two like a diamond-cutter then send the debris into the air with a fire. And with a city downwind, just think of the congratulations he will get when he returns to base.

What this all says is that you cant have war and nuclear material dancing this world together, until the world gets more together.

Anything can happen: terrorist attacks using bio bombs, asteroid coming through Manhattan, Ice Age leaving only a strap of good earth across Ecuator, A world war with conventional weapons, some breakthrough in science solving radiation poisning effects, a virus so deadly than nothing will survive including the virus at the end. The point is that anything can happen but lets not forget that not everything is out of our control. Those things I put above are not under our control. Nuclear Technology is (more or less). More people die on car accidents than it will die by atomic means. And I don't see anybody banning cars.
