//Not much chance of supplying Saudi and Iran with 50 nukes each ....is there?//

Well I can see you haven't got Fallout 4 yet.

The only point of agreement I've ever had with Greenpeace is that we should BAN THE BOMB. It's a bloody stupid weapon.

Orbital spikes are much cleaner and greener once you've got a space elevator up and running.

Post Script:

When I say 'orbital spikes', I mean kinetic bombardment, AKA 'Rods from God'. It's legal, and since the 'Rods' are typically envisioned as W (tungsten) rods, there is no concern about nuclear radiation - W is not radioactive.

Yes the Hindu dorje " noble stone" and phurba "tent peg" to strike the earth are from the gods.
'Vajra is a Sanskrit word meaning both thunderbolt and diamond. Additionally, it is a weapon which is used as a ritual object to symbolize both the properties of a diamond (indestructibility) and a thunderbolt (irresistible force). '
