You don't need weapons grade plutonium for a dirty bomb.

1. You don't need "weapons grade plutonium" for dirty bombs

2. Iran has had nuclear material capable of dirty bombs since probably the Clinton era

3. Iran (and its proxies) have had 0 terror attacks in a US state

4. If we create a vacuum in Iran, it's likely at least one ISIS-like organization forms

5. ISIS has severe terror attacks within US states. The most recent one was January 2025 in New Orleans.

If we allow other states that arent submissive us to get a nuclear bomb it will be more difficult to attack them and start wars all over the world and it will disrupt our hegemony empire. Therefore we must pretend its them thats the problem and not us starting all the wars.

Why would they waste weapons grade material on a dirty bomb?

OP is just an example of people trying too hard to justify neocon policies.

They're trying to dishonestly create a sense of danger for the actual borders of the US while having to admit Iran has no capability of firing a missile into the US. This requires a trip to retard town, as you (and others) pointed out.

Iran has been capable of using a dirty bomb within US borders since the 90s, I believe. That threat has been around for a while. This new situation changes nothing on that wavelength.

So, what exactly were the North East drones looking for?

Weapons grade plutonium doesn’t go into dirty bombs. Enriched and even regular nuclear materials does.

A dirty bomb is basically an IED with nuclear material that makes the blast area and nearby area “dirty” with fallout.

This makes no sense physically and/or economically. Pu-239 would probably kill the suicide bomber before getting to their destination. And if even they could make a dirty bomb out of Pu-239 into a safe non fissile state, what a waste of time, energy and the incredibly poor use of the HUGE technical barriers.

The first thing you need to make Pu-239 is a breeder reactor. No one is doing this in their garage.

Yeah, nuclear waste from spent nuclear fuel under the U-235 paradigm is the source to make dirty bombs. This is one of the key reasons why nuclear reactor projects are so expensive. Storing nuclear waste accounts for approximately 20% of the total project and include site storage and security.

I specifically say "U-235 paradigm" because it's my understanding that thorium reactors do not have the same level of nuclear waste issues.

Iran has plenty of nuclear material to make a dirty bomb already and they have for decades

We supposedly have the technology to detect even small nuclear devices coming into the country.

The real issue is it is not exactly easy to smuggle “nuclear” material into the US either…. It would be more likely they would steal or acquire material already in the US in order to make a dirty bomb…

Their “sleeper cells” would be more effective with conventional types of attacks on soft targets…. Much more “bang” for the buck so to speak…

It’s not supposedly.

It’s definitely.

I’m always curious about the psychology of people that share their opinion in a place where that opinion isn’t wanted or respected.

Your posts are widely ignored or ridiculed. Your pretend conservatism has long been unveiled.

Why is it that you continue to post when so few care about your opinion?

Note that I’m not calling for you to stop. I’m just curious about the mindset of someone like yourself. I find the psychology of it all fascinating.
