Full-scale production and deployment of this “low-yield” nuclear bomb — one that can be deployed and used somewhat similar to how conventional bombs have been dropped since the dawn of air warfare — is being rushed into production in the new year. The great danger is that by making such “smaller” and more easily deliverable by conventional means nukes the risk and temptation of their use greatly escalates; and thus breaking the nuclear taboo becomes more likely. In this regard 700 scientists including 21 Nobel Laureats are publicly calling on the U.S. to renounce any first use of nuclear weapons; the very antithesis of what the military-industrial complex is doing with these new “low-yield” nukes.
