Thanks for the update. Did not know about the caches they found. IF, and I emphasize IF there were SADM’s involved, AND IF they have not been maintained in the 20-30 years since they were cached, I would assume that they will not go bang as designed. They may go bang and make a dirty bomb, but I don’t think there would be mushrooms involved.

I would note that contrary to the sacred Panglossian theology of the Democrats and those few that are even farther Left than the current American Democrats, Russia in any form; Soviet, Commonwealth, or Federation is neither a friend, friendly, nor non-hostile. They act against us consistently. They arm our enemies reflexively [There is a reason that you can tell who the enemy is when the American military is engaged. All our enemies carry Russian AK's which have a distinctive sound and Russian RPG's, etc.] and are responsible for the Iranian nuclear weapons program having furnished the processing equipment, designs, nuclear materials [already enriched beyond the 3-4% necessary for the reactors they claim they are for], and the diplomatic and military defense of the Iranian program. Any WMD attack by Iran on ourselves or our allies, directly or by proxy, using nuclear materials is in reality a deliberate and premeditated attack by Russia. It should be responded to appropriately. They know that under our current regime, they are safe. Deterrence is not operational.

I expect our GRU/SVR minders’ heads to explode at that last.

Within that strategic situation; there is absolutely no assurance that further arms caches have not been established by the Russians within our borders, those of our allies, or that they have not been covertly maintained. So yes, we might have both conventional weapons and small nuclear weapons [if such in fact were deployed by the Soviets] available for the use of either Russian forces operating in our or allied territory; or ready for the use of Islamic terrorists sponsored by the Russians in the same geographical frame.

Is everybody happy in their hearts?
