Black Red Devil Posted August 26, 2019 #2 Share Posted August 26, 2019 (edited) Maybe he'll change his mind when someone tells him the cost of a single nuke. The US Govt made an analysis on North Korean nukes, each warhead costs between $18 million and $53 million. link I'm sure US nukes are more sophisticated and would cost more and between the two I'm sure he would choose not to dilapidate money over some casualties due to natural causes.

It's not his money so he seriously doesn't care and he's always popping off like that off the top of his head with rhetorical nonsense. I think he gets his kicks, freaking people out. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad! Oh, we think Trump is icky, too. Unfortunately, he's the only one the Right has to vote for against the Left right now. There's a real dearth of true Statesmen and a surfeit of mediocre career politicians on both sides of the aisle. There's a shocking lack of inspiration or great oratory and nationwide appeal. Trump is a novelty, a Ross Perot on steroids. That and the Democrats running the only candidate that could possibly lose to him the first time is why he is President. Unfortunately, they're doubling up on all the mistakes they made that first time and hell bent on doing it, again.

One thing he does take for gospel is having a surplus budget, so I agree, it is rhetorical nonsense. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, much of what he says is true, just very disconcertingly honest for people weaned on diplomatic niceties. He's an Antebellum President on a twenty-first century stage. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Essan Posted August 26, 2019 #18 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Actually, the idea isn't new at all. So much so that Chris Landsea has even written an article explaining why it wouldn't work https://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/tcfaq/C5c.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well. Not the nuclear thing, because fallout — but the whole “Trump making an off-the-wall” suggestion thing. IMO, there’s no such thing as a stupid idea, when you’re brainstorming solutions. It’s not like anyone else has solved it, yet. I think his intentions were good — and honestly — nice to see he cares enough about the damage hurricanes cause to try and pitch a solution. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwynbleidd Posted August 26, 2019 #20 Share Posted August 26, 2019 (edited) That's funny. In fact, that's hilarious that people would even think for a millisecond Trump was for-real. Surely you guys don't actually believe that do you? I thought you guys would be used to his way of speaking by now.

Overall I would love to agree with your optimism here but a grown man pitched dropping nuclear bombs into hurricanes that are heading for US territory. Your post makes perfect sense in a middle school brainstorming session but as a functioning adult (not to mention POTUS): 18 minutes ago, Tiggs said: because fallout Should have stopped those words from escaping his mouth 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes your correct if it is a clear day. However, the water in a hurricane would become contaminated. I never mentioned fallout, I said it would cause airborne contamination there is a big difference between the two. Plus since it has never been done there is no designated height to detonate the devise. You see a detonation doesn't have to explode on the ground to be called a ground burst detonation. The devise can detonate in the air and still be a ground burst detonation, if the fireball from the blast touches the ground or in this case the ocean it becomes a ground burst detonation. What do you think happens to water exposed to that much heat, well it will vaporize into its basic components Hydrogen and Oxygen. In the case of sea water you have to consider all the other thing, like salt and other materials contained within. Those components would thus become radioactive, it is called enhanced radiation and they would travel due to the trade wides. That's what I meant about environmental contamination, I hope this helps you understand my comments I should have been more clear, however, most people I discuss this with already understand the basics.
