Forget Disarmament, We'll Give You Nuclear Technology!

The United States found out last week that it accidentally sent Taiwan 4 tips to nuclear missile warheads. 2 years ago.

The package was supposed to contain helicopter batteries but instead included the electrical fuses for Minuteman nuclear missiles. Whoops!

Taiwan has sent the parts back. They also say they did not attempt to copy any of the technology. (Does anyone actually believe that? I sure don't, but hey, that's just my observation.)

The whole incident has left China and the Department of Defense with a bad taste in their mouths.

Look at the video of the press conference for more details.
