If terrorists aquired nukes would they use them?

Nobody said that they would do it (i.e. attacking the satellite system, instead of the cities)

What I said was rather that they should do it if they´re smart,
as they can create a lot more damage to the western economy as well as chaos than by just nuking a city


btw.
the article about the nuclear explosions in orbgit was written by an american author, Daniel Dupont
and was also published 2 years before in Scientific american:

1. No, it would NOT BE SMART. Their objective is terror. Not force projection. Haven't you ever read about assymetric warfare? Go move howies around with vet spies...sheesh.

2. EMP is not news to me, ya maroon.

No, actually I am not a Soviet citizen because of Josip Broz Tito and the inefficiency’s of state property.

Are the French still nuking paradise on a regular basis? If not, have they signed on to the testing ban?

Don't know if they signed any papers, but they did stop the testing some years back. There's still the matter of various locals plus various French military personnel who are demanding reparations after receiving high doses of radiation though...

Doesn't sound like the French government has handled these matters very well, but then again, other nuke testing nations haven't been overly thoughtful or generous about it either. (Except maybe stopping a little earlier and not bombing Greenpeace over it... )
