maybe Im missing something but, well and taking the intention of the post to be reflexively critical, which also can be wrong, but are not small nuclear weapons a good idea in some ways compared to large ones? it would certainly be a specific sort of situation where a conventional weapon would not work and a large nuclear weapon not needed, but I should think that of situations where conventional weapons were not sufficient there could easily be one where a weapon producing little radioactivity and limited destruction could be enough and would it not be nice to have that option? of course then there comes the question of wisdom in use...and yet just on one hand of what could be a judgement in another way...every weapon from the bow and arrow on requires that... this not at all as arguing about it but because it seems an interesting question in some way. about which also probably I am ill qualified to have an opinion, but who is? +Seraphim.

it would certainly be a specific sort of situation
where a conventional weapon would not work and
a large nuclear weapon not needed, but I should
think that of situations where conventional weapons
were not sufficient there could easily be one where
a weapon producing little radioactivity and limited
destruction could be enough and would it not be nice
to have that option?
of course then there comes the question of wisdom in
use...and yet just on one hand of what could be
a judgement in another way...every weapon from the
bow and arrow on requires that...
this not at all as arguing about it but because
it seems an interesting question in some way.
