And that’s basically it!
There is a minimum-amount of fission-fuel required, AND there is a minimum-amount of conventional-explosives required to compress the fission-fuel until it goes supercritical.
That detonator isn't going to be small-enough to hide in a vest.
Absolute disinformation.

I mean, yeah, the Davie Crockett could fit in a back pack, a really big back pack

It is stupid for even more reasons than that. I've thought about it back when North Korea had pretend nuclear suicide bombers march on their military parade.
Even if somehow they manage to cram one in a backpack that is carriable by a person, there is no advantage whatsoever given the blast radius. You will have to use a vehicle of sorts to get near the enemy and more importantly away from your friendlies anyway. Whatever distance you can cover on foot afterwards won't make much of a difference. Might as well make it vehicle borne.
Also the whole point of a suicide vest is to be able to get in the middle of an unaware crowd or near your target before using it. With a nuke you don't need to be in the middle of a targeted crowd or get that close to your target to have an effect.
This is the same JD Vance that repeatedly falsely claimed immigrants were eating cats and dogs in his home state, is it not?
I'm not saying a nuclear suicide vest couldn't be done. I'm just saying, JD Vance has claimed lots of things.
'Iran could develop hulk technology and teleport directly into US schools!' JD Vance
As if they would ever be concerned about potential violence in schools
Iran could turn their front line soldiers into beings of pure energy and they could rip the life force right out of a tank.
These fuckers are so inept at propaganda, it's kinda sad.
Dont underestimate the stupidity of their target audience, and the arrogant complacency of his opposition. Its why we have him in the first place. Twice. Half of the second group is still probably going to sit out the primaries and midterms.
JD Vance, also known as a couch fucker, could develop pubic hair within the next 15 years, endangering his aim while peeing as he won't be able to find his micropenis anymore and won't be able to shave it out of fear of shaving his micropenis off. Couches would finally be safe.
Spread the word.
public hair
I'd rather it not be visible to the public as I'm a member of the public
USA could develop a more fuckable couch, and ride us of one problem, but here we are.
Just a reminder that the 9/11 attackers did it with knives.
Kinda wild, I vividly remember getting on a plane to Disney with my grandparents as a child (Pre 9/11). My grandpa had a swiss army knife on him when we went through security. I asked him how he was able to get that through, and he said it's a small knife; nothing to worry about. It's legal as long as it's smaller than my palm. I said what if someone brought a knife like that and stabbed the pilot. He laughed it off and said I watch too much TV. Then 9/11 happened and guess how they did it? How did 8 year old me have more sense than whoever was running airports in those days?
Box cutters
Why would having it be in a vest be useful, so it’s concealed until you’re really close? Like, it’s a fucking nuke, it’s not like you need to get in particularly close for it to have the intended effect.
Like, he’s just mashing the image of a suicide bomber in with the fear of nukes to strike as many “panic! danger! scary!” notes as possible.
Maybe a dirty bomb with nuclear materials, but an actual fission bomb on a vest? No. Never mind they don't have the enriched fuel, never mind just building a working device would be extremely difficult for them and that would be large like the Hiroshima bomb.
This is Iraq Weapons of Mass Distraction all over again. Fuck this administration.
Normally I get angry at these pathological liars but this lie is so absurdly stupid that it's actually funny.
Imagine someone driving their van to a parking lot near the white house and then going "Welp, better strap on my suicide nuke that will obliterate the entire city. I see no other way of doing this."
American civilians killed by Iran made nuclear slingshots and slippping on nuclear banana peels.
Nuclear terrorism might be a thing, but I seriously doubt that the easiest way to do it is nuclear suicide vests. Miniaturizing nuclear warheads is a pain. If you were going to do something like that, you'd be better off doing something akin to a truck bomb.
Much more likely would be a dirty bomb. Just a regular bomb with some nuclear material that it spreads. The nuclear material isn't the bomb itself, but used exclusively for the exposure effects. You don't even need plutonium or uranium for this. There are plenty of other radiological sources to make dirty bombs. Old radiographic medical equipment for instance.
There are hundreds of thousands of orphaned sources in the world. Several of them have caused the worst radiological incidents in history.
The fact we don't see this already is quite surprising.
"Vance says" is like when my 3-year-old blames everything on the cat. Who ate all the nesquik Jonathan, was it the cat, or was it you with nesquik on your face? Who can say.
Id argue a rapist president plus a complicit govt is more dangerous. How about getting rid of those first?
Every nuke can be considered a suicide bomb. Ffs get this guy out of any kind of position making decisions.
at this point, he's just my mom's facebook news feed in human form.
... and unfortunately it's working.
He should make one and demonstrate how it would work.
Why would anyone believe this? Who is ret*rded enough to believe this?
I heard they're developing a new Shahed bomb that can blow up a church and rebuild it into a mosque.
Monkeys might fly out of Iran's butt.
