NUCLEAR GRAVITY BOMB TESTED IN NEVADA
I'm not sure about this source but I find it odd that this makes the news. Tests happen and they dont make the news.....maybe they want the world to see....

The newly upgraded B61-12 nuclear gravity bomb was successfully tested for the third time in the Nevada desert on October 20.

After the light test, conducted by the U.S. Air Force and the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), U.S. officials claimed that the launch proves Washington’s “continued commitment to security,” according to NNSA.

...da fuck is a gravity bomb? I've had dreams about bending gravity, distorted space-time, blasts of "solar" wind. Perhaps the source wasn't so out of this world.

Re: NUCLEAR GRAVITY BOMB TESTED IN NEVADA
From the article.....

It should never be a good idea to think of a nuclear bomb as usable, but some U.S. military officials certainly appear to see it as a positive. Former U.S. Air Force Chief of Staff General Norton Schwartz acknowledged that the changes could affect how leaders think about using the B61. “Without a doubt. Improved accuracy and lower yield is a desired military capability. Without a question,” he said.

Nuclear weapons were never meant to be used because of the huge, lasting damage that they would cause. If their use becomes a genuine consideration then the world is a far more dangerous place.

Former U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney ordered Colin Powell, then chair of Joint Chiefs of Staff, to assess how many tactical nuclear weapons it would take to destroy an armored division of Saddam Hussein’s Republican Guard. According to a new biography of George W. Bush, Powell was uncomfortable ordering the analysis but he did it anyway.

The fact that senior U.S. figures seriously contemplated the use of nuclear weapons goes to show that newer more “usable” bombs may in fact may the world less safe. That is one of the major criticisms of the B61-12, which although it may not be an entirely new weapon, could cause a shift in attitude towards the use of nuclear weapons.

The article goes on to describe the bommbas being guided or flown but not utilizing GPS. This could be useful if say we had had a cyber attack or our satellites were unavailable

Lol, I was possibly stoned. This was a very vivid dream I had months ago. Apparently nothing to do with this though; just reminded me of it. Carry on...
