Let's for the sake of argument forget the difference between the economic conditions in Russia in 1991 and in 2009.
Let's also forget the fact that for all the talk of Russian loose nukes the only loose nuclear technology emerged since 1991 was from the US client Pakistan.
We are left with scenario of bearded Hamas engineers strapping a loose nuke to a roadsign and that's the existential threat that justifies bombing of the Gaza strip. Bravo, Michael, that was a veritable tour de force of reasoning. I am so overawed that barely can master a courage to ask just how anything short of carpet nuclear bombardment of Gaza strip can suffice ?
