That is a figure I've heard bandied about for about 2 months. It's difficult to know what to do. Some say, it's too late to effectively stop this short of war.

All those people making jokes and calling for tinfoil couldn't have been wrong could they?

It took us about 6 years to develop the bombs dropped on Japan.  We couldn't buy plans on the internet either.
