In reply to the discussion: If he succeeded in stealing this country's most sensitive secrets, could he have stolen a bomb? [View all]GoCubsGo
(32,083 posts)12. Yes, thank you.
The only thing I could see him finding a way to steal would be if it was if it was a small tactical weapon. But, as you point out, he'd still need to be in cahoots with multiple people. The entire system would have to be run by burrowed Trumpsters for him to pull off something like that. It is not.
But, yes. Letting a hostile country smuggle a dirty bomb is not out of the realm of possibility. However, we have been preparing for that sort of thing for the past two decades. I agree it's not likely he can pull off something like that.

How would he steal a bomb, and by bomb, I'm guessing you mean a nuclear warhead.

Again, stealing docs. is far, far different from stealing an actual warhead. nt

I wonder what he was really planning to do if his goons didn't succeed on Jan. 6th.
