Considering Israel and the US are bombing Iran’s nuclear facilities because they have “weapons of mass destruction”, if Iran really did have such weapons, wouldn’t bombing the facilities they’re held in cause them to explode, or cause an evident ripple at least? I may be imagining this in a way cartoonier way than military weapons actually work, but I’m preparing myself for some incredibly annoying debates.

      Newer devices have been designed and made in the decades since.
      Are cars more sophisticated today then they were in the 1940s?

          Well, if they existed and didn’t use precise detonation, they wouldn’t work.

          Well, they’re working with China, so probably more sophisticated than ours at this point. Designs anyway, maybe not having any functional.

        Yeah, but because of nonproliferation, I don’t think we were making any new ones and haven’t been designing them for quite some time
