If Cuba secretly kept a nuke from the "missile crisis", how could they best use it today? No missile though.
>>64992960Enriched plutonium has an expiration date, OP.
>>64992960Do a "Sum of All Fears" style false flag attack to get the US and China to go to war.
>>64992960Make a nuclear reactor so they actually have electricity again
>>64992960Sell it to Iran for money, lol
>>64993018Nah, they can’t do that. It would actually help the populace.
>>64992960>no missileSo it's a purely defensive nuke, and given that we have no intention of invading Cuba, we just let it rot while they continue to subsist.
>>64993014Can't really false flag with a nuke because they would be able to tell the fissile material came from an ancient soviet reactor
>>64992960It wouldn't work at this point. None of the US or Soviet warheads were designs aimed at that kind of maintenance free lifespan. All missile designs trade that for size/weight/efficiency.So best they could probably do with it would be dirty bombs as threats or trying to sell/trade it for the reverse engineering value to some other country.>>64992974>Enriched plutonium has an expiration date, OP.Not really, halflife on P239 is tens of thousands of years. In this context it's pretty irrelevant. But all the other components required to make a compact high efficiency/performance warhead work definitely had way shorter lifetimes then that. The tritium, the explosive lens, electronics, whatever spooky sekrit neutron emitting shit they're using in the middle or for injection that is still top secret, none of that lasts 60+ years sitting around.
>>64992960Test out if you can stop a hurricane with it.
Commit sudoku and detonate it without launching
>>64992960They would've sold it
>>64992960sell it to pakistan
>>64992960Easiest way, if it still worked would be to load it in a minisub and sail it to florida. Detonate in the port of Miami.
>>64993481>50,000 big booty Latinas used to do coke here....

>>64992960Smuggle it into the US and announce it,.Take a photo from the back of a van showing the bomb and the White House out the back window then post it 2 weeks later when the bomb is in a shielded storage unit on the other side of the country.

>>64994595>repair the channels>merchant ships will give a fuck about some slightly radioactive soil they won't even touchIt'll upset trade for a few months tops.
>>64993261>Not really, halflife on P239 is tens of thousands of years.It's not the half life itself that's the problem it's the decay products that are highly corrosive. Plutonium has a very brittle and finicky crystalline lattice and the corrosion of even a small amount of decay products can degrade the pit of your nuclear device.
>>64993246How ?
>>64994801Analyzing the isotopes it leaves behind can tell you a lot, down to where they mined the uranium they used.
>>64994821Isn't the uranium 235 used 98% pure ? The rest being 238 ?
>>64992960sell it to usa for a 1000% markup
>>64993481Came here to say this, I would just float it over on a fucking raft though.
>>64992960>This chocolate milkshake is particularly sweet>Mr. President! That's not a milkshake, it's a nuclear bomb!!!>BOOM!

>>64993382Why? They have their own nukes.
>>64994670>monthsThey still haven't even begun fixed that Baltimore bridge ever since that jeet vessel slammed into it. We've done the same several times with women at the helm of our warships. Do you really think that this nation is still capable of building like we did with the Canal? Cuz I don't. Not even without the nuclear background.
>>64994595>poisoned hellscapenukes aren't like holywood's fearmongering's bullshit
>>64994827There are trace impurities which can be used to tell which mine the uranium was sourced from. Isotope analysis can be used to get a picture of what sort of reactor was used to breed the uranium into plutonium.

>>64996995Radiation from an airbursting nuke is intense but short lived. It decays off to relatively safe levels within a week (as in: increased likelihood of cancer, rather than instant radiation sickness)
>>64992960Give god-damned Florida the extra sunshine it so fucking richly deserves.
>>64996995Yeah nobody dares visit hiroshima or Nagasaki nowadays
Shalom
>>64997064In this scenario we'd get a ground explosion though. Unless they go out of their way to lug the nuke up some skyscraper.
>>64997367shut it down
>>64996995Yes, people lived in Hiroshima and Nagasaki just fine. Elevated cancer lasted a generation and mostly by survivors and people born right in the aftermath.Also one survivor of the demon core called out radiation sickness as being pussy shit. None of the survivors died from some mysterious cancer 40years after. You either die on the spot, get fucked up right then or live fine.
>>64992960On themselves.
>>64993277Came here to post this.Just fucking end it.
>>64997831>You either die on the spot, get fucked up right then or live fine.*with slightly elevated long term cancer risk
>>64992960They could hit Guantanamo Bay but that's about it.
>>65001683fake shit, there is also an uncomfirmed but still statistically supported theory that low background radiation actually reduce cancer rates
>>64994719>it's the decay products that are highly corrosiveFrancium?
>>65005441Cancer rates are actually lower in cities like Denver where the background radiation is higher due to elevation. But there's also the fact that people are healthier cardiovascularly, again from the altitude. Idk how that affects cancer risk though.
>>64992960Who made the mimic?
>>64993481More likely the target would be old river control in Louisiana or the refineries in Lake Charles or around Texas city. Any of those are much more important than miami
