Art of Domination Thread 04

We will also begin building bases in Region Two and use our stockpile of nukes to power our manufacturing capabilities.

This just raises so many questions. Nuclear Weapon grade Plutonium is not suitable for use in reactors. In fact, weapons grade plutonium and uranium usually have to be bred from certain types already running reactors. Fusion bombs are even less suited to power generation because they use two isotopes of Hydrogen that, well, fuse. So... I'm assuming that means they're either turning on old reactors (dangerous), using Author tech to "reverse breed" usable fissile material from weapons, or are operating with seriously sub-par reactors that probably aren't incredibly stable (or safe). Also... I don't remember if fusion power was a thing in this universe or not (and even if it is you most likely wouldn't use deuterium and tritium from hydrogen/fusion weapons), which is why I'm not really addressing fusion weapons (I think those nukes are/were fission weapons anyway, if memory serves). Anyway... setting that aside.

I feel... this feels like bait for some trap... but at the same time... we can't afford to ignore it. If they possessed the ability to do this in the first place, why wait until now? It smells fishy as fuck. Also, for supposedly going "asymmetric", they seem to be preparing a pretty straight forward plan there. Armored landing craft and using numbers to blitz an enemy position? I fail to see what is "unconventional" about that. Something else is going on here... and if we can't figure out what before committing our forces, I feel like it could backfire on us. Though, maybe I'm just being paranoid. Again. Like usual. Still... we need to act. I'll need a few days to think on this... or at least not thinking on it just before I was gonna go to bed. I'll come back to this later and see what others think and get my own ducks in a row.

SpoilerGlad to see you're doing okay, Mayu. Didn't want to spam the thread(s) with get well wishes... so... I waited and just hoped for the best.

Also, I don't mean to be so nitpicky about the nuclear stuff. My own understanding about the topic may be wrong, but even if I'm not. This is a story and the Authors are weird extra-dimensional near-deities and physics already don't work like they do in the real world... so... what I mean is feel free to handwave away anything I've said if it is too troublesome.
