Does it seem to you that, just sometimes, Tucker Carlson is an alarmist a-hole?
Last night, he went into great detail about the idiots in our military, (Ret. General Petraeus in particular), and how most of them are extremely stupid, yet all of Washington believes them to be geniuses.
His (Tucker's), reasoning was Petraeus' analysis of the actions we should take if Putin uses a nuclear bomb. Petraeus outlined how we would then destroy all Russian assets or posts, all Russian ships, etc., etc..
Tucker's derision stemmed from what he perceived as the SIZE of the hydrogen or nuclear bomb. He specifically stated that MODERN hydrogen or nuclear bombs are so huge that just ONE of them would be capable of wiping out the entire eastern seaboard in the United States from New York to Miami. He stated that Petraeus was an idiot because he believed that he or anyone else would be left alive to destroy Russian ships.
For the first time in my life, I felt real fear. My stomach was clenching.
But this morning, after doing some minor research, I am just angry with the alarmism.
Nuclear weapons come in all sizes. From suitcase bombs that can wipe out areas the size of 10 city blocks, to a tactical nuke designed to be used on the battlefield.
I am going to wash dishes, and chill my jets, while you folks discuss. Back later!
