Vance suggests Iran could have used nuclear suicide vests: "People who walk into a crowded supermarket and ... blow up the vest and a couple of people get killed, that's a terrible tragedy. What happens when what's on the vest ... can kill many, many tens of thousands of people?"

I'm willing to bet this is nonsense.

From what I know about nuke warheads, they're not exactly scalable to a vest.

And why waste, for lack of a better term, a nuke on a random grocery store? Just walk into Time's Square with a backpack nuke and *poof*.

But he knows by saying "grocery store" that all the MAGA morons in their podunk red state s*^%hole small towns will believe their local Piggly Wiggly could be the target.

JD "They're Eating the Cats - They're Eating the Dogs!!!!!" Vance has no credibility, having made it clear he will spread lies in order to garner attention.

He said it, he did it, and he keeps doing it; it's is, clearly nothing more or less than his m.o., s.o.p.

Which makes it truly tragic if what he says ever actually turns out to be true.

Such is the lot of immature folk who cry "Wolf!" when none lurk about.

Cassandra's they ain't; despicables they most assuredly be.

In the age of drones, that's commitment!

Seriously tho, Vance is a liar, and I wouldn't believe him if he told me my house was on fire.

He'd set your block alight to make his point.

And then blame Joe Biden.

Building an argument for a return to his career as a writer of fantasy novels, one public utterance at a time. Two years left in his job and completely irrelevant ...

Yay... now we're at the suicide bomber phase...
I remember this sort of chatter about Vietnam allllllllll those years ago...
Then Afghanistan...
Then Iraq...
Now Iran...

You know... anywhere we want to frame the population as inferior and in need of eradication.

It's used to demonstrate to us how whacko our enemies are...
ppppfffftttt... stop pretending that anytime we demand that people suit up to fight a war... that it is not a suicide mission... instantly... or by the inch... as so often happens... if they're lucky to "survive". We demand that they be willing to die... for whatevaaahhhhh

Suicide bombers show more courage... and level of commitment...

and why we don't win

A nuclear warhead is too big for a vest. But it could sure be shipped in by Fed Ex. If they used a missile everyone would know where it came from and who to shoot back at.
