With our nuclear weapons aging, and the issues surrounding their use such as radiation, EMP and fallout for years I think we’ve reached the point where its time for our next advancement in weapon systems.<\/p>\n

I propose the ROCK.<\/p>\n

No… not your nambie pambie little rocks, I’m talking mile wide asteroids.<\/p>\n

I’m absolutely sure that I’m not the only person to think of this. I may be one of the first to actually SAY it out loud.<\/p>\n

Rocks have several advantages.<\/p>\n

They’re environmentally clean.<\/p>\n

You can drop a 20 million ton rock on, say, Iraq or Afghanistan. Done right you get rid of an entire army and not have to worry about radiation, or fallout.<\/p>\n

Once the ground cools, you might even be able to mine iron depending on the type of asteroid you used.<\/p>\n

Since the single most important issue, ( according to Obama) we  face today is climate change, the dust would have a planet wide cooling effect. Wow, a three for one.<\/p>\n

Don’t dismiss the idea too quickly…<\/p>\n

NASA already is planning to capture and change asteroids orbits. Their purpose is to put the asteroids in stable lunar orbit so that they can be studied. <\/p>\n

It is pretty obvious that simple alterations in the capture technology could also drop a multi-ton rock on a specific earthly target. The best weapon platform would be something that accelerated the rock to a fraction of the speed of light.<\/p>\n

The faster the rock, the smaller it could be, yet have the same destructive force. That’s Einstein E=mc2<\/sup> Its a deceptively simple formula but it’s really freakin cool.<\/p>\n

\"Images\"<\/p>\n

It’s not even necessary to accelerate a rock to crazy speeds, You’d just have to maneuver a big assed rock into position then at the right time shove it out of orbit towards Earth.<\/p>\n

Don’t get me wrong it would take some serious tech and the computations would be outrageous, to hit a specific target but the NSA computers are more than up to the task.<\/p>\n

We might miss the first or second try… OOOOPS Sorry… What’s in the line of fire? Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Syria? <\/p>\n

We’d have to be careful to miss Israel, and possibly Egypt. But Libya is a big open space. I guess we’d have to narrow the targeting accuracy down to a swath of 1500 miles before we actually tried it.<\/p>\n

Don’t get me wrong, a miss would be a bad thing. I don’t think It wouldn’t be any worse than allowing the Islamofascist vermin to continue multiplying. Eventually we’d get the targeting right.<\/p>\n

By that time, perhaps the Islamofascists would have come to the conclusion that putting their shit in order is preferable to extinction.<\/p>\n

\"Unknown\"I’d rather see these fucked up countries cratered wastelands, than continue to wonder when these fuckers were going to bomb a train, mall, building, airport, or whatever.<\/p>\n

All they seem to understand or respect is force… I say show ‘em force that they can’t conceive of.<\/p>\n

We have the technology.<\/p>\n

Granted it’s rudimentary and primitive but it could work. Maybe its time to prove that we could take the high ground and hold it.<\/p>\n

Once we proved we could do it I’ll bet people would be more inclined to settle their differences with diplomacy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
