If I were a enemy of the infidel U.S., with a budget in the 5-10 million dollar range, and I wanted to do the most damaged for the dollar, I would seriously consider tracking down a couple of smaller rouge nuke warheads, and instead of trying to infiltrate an reasonably armed American port, attempt to smuggle them into La Palma, in the Cananry Islands, and drop them both into the western side of the seam of Cumbre Vieja, and flake off the western half of the island. The resulting tsunami is estimated to be 200 ft tall, and would move up to 3 miles inland on the entire eastern U.S. seaboard, leveling everything in it's path and killing millions who couldn't get out in the 9 hour warning time. The devastation would be..well let's put it this way. Most of NY, Washington, Philly, Boston, Miami, Charleston, Savannah and Newport News either gone or completely out of commission, That's what, 5?6? or our biggest ports, gone. The electrical grid would be done. Potable water would be more expensive than gold. Food would be unavailable, Yet, anyone not in the Atlantic Basin, say the Persian Gulf, or the Pacific Rim, would be almost unaffected, other than the ton of money to be made in profiteering off the situation. Don't get me started on Yellowstone, ground penetrating missiles and MIRVs.Can you say, population choke point? Seriously?
