Shame on you.
This is unnecessarily over-the-top sensationalistic bullshit, totally inappropriate to posted on DU, whose membership champions journalistic integrity.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT and said: Nuclear bomb??? Hide.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT and said: Inappropriate use of hyperbole. In addition, source is not cited, which is a ToS violation. Post should be hidden.
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT and said: Uh, that's a pretty serious accusation.
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT and said: NUKES? I agree with alerter........over the top and sensationalistic.

Exactly. It's a big blast but no flash. As far as DU that's a penetration round.

I wondered if it was a fuel/air bomb, but I'm certainly no expert in these things.

Why post the dumb lying video that says it's nuclear? And it's a lie that Iran sent nuclear weapons

So are you going to remove your claim in #20 that Iran sent Hizbollah a nuclear weapon?

Good, because making claims about "nuclear weapons" is hyperbolic and deeply irresponsible.

Of course, if Syria strikes back, we will brand it the aggressor nation and send "help" to Israel.
