The Joint Chiefs of Staff have asked Congress to pass legislation allowing the Pentagon to sell theater or low radiation neutron shells and warheads in order to avoid being permanently out of the lucrative international market in nuclear weapons.
“We can’t let North Korea and Pakistan capture the whole market with that atomic junk they’re peddling. Every country that will survive as a country will be nuclear. Either by owning a trustworthy atomic devise or being reduced to glowing ashes. The genie is out of the bottle. We can’t allow the destruction of life on Earth without getting a piece of the action. “
Proponents claim that profits from sales to the 42 countries that don’t hate us could compensate for the coming cuts in defense spending.
“The North Koreans are making billions not millions on secret sales to rogue nations and terrorist organizations while the Pakis are sometimes giving it away to anyone who has a gripe with India. They’re making friends and they’re making money. We have better stuff laying around waiting to be disarmed.”
“Why buy something that could blow up in your face? We have the only product with a proven track record. Just say Hiroshima and Nagasaki and we’ve got ourselves a sale.”
