“SCUD in a Box.”
I read about this scenario a couple years ago, and
mentioned it here. Also mentioned that it might
cause a sudden spasm attack, in which the US (now
run by a lower-level official operating with
limited info in a state of chaos) decides to turn
every Muslim nation into glass.
It would take months before the cause of the
attack could be determined. In the meantime, a
billion people or more might die. And it could
escalate into general nuclear war easily,
especially given the degraded Russian satellite
lookdown capacity that could misinterpret our
spasm attack.
That scenario has been on my mind every time I
write about the necessity of preventing Iran from
going nuclear.
