Maybe do a nuclear gravity power plant first? Provide the tax players cheap clean energy instead of more threats of war.
Why would you drop a power plant?
Gravity bomb
You wouldn't download a power plant
Don't copy that floppy
But how are we going to protect the power plant without the bomb? /s

Honestly… this is kind of how that might happen? Defense spending and research has always been the vanguard of technological development and then it’s waylaid to private sector development and R&D.
Once it’s proven effective they can then reverse engineer it to do something constructive.
Because the US can’t be bothered to find non blow-uppy projects until later.
A nuclear gravity bomb is a standard nuclear bomb that is dropped from a plane, instead of launched on a rocket.
This isn't some kind of new nuclear technology
