- ivraatiems 4y agoMaybe - but the point of it being a nuke is that nukes get attention, and you'd do it to get that attention and try to force capitulation or at least abandonment of popular support for your enemy. A FOAB wouldn't quite do it.
- thrown_22 4y agoDepleted uranium rounds produce more radioactive contamination than a dirty bomb yet we lost our collective mind over the second and don't even think about the first. The only difference is that the US uses DU regularly so we think of it as normal instead of a nuclear weapon on par with a tactical nuke in terms of long term damage.
