Sounds to me like someone is trying to justify actually using a tactical, atomic bunker buster.
Lol, they're gonna do the strategic one next
I never really got why tactical and strategic nukes are so wildly different. Aren't those words more or less synonyms?
In common usage they're equivalent to small and big. In practical terms, all nukes are strategic - use of a nuke has profound global diplomatic repercussions.
