CHINA'S NANOTECHNOLOGICAL WEAPONS
Nanotechnology weapons are those which are so microscopic that most people can’t even visualize anything so small. A nanotechnology weapon works on the molecular level inside the human body. Nanotechnology can have many civilian, and even beneficial, uses. However, nanotechnology weapons may prove to be far more dangerous than nuclear weapons. Mr. Navrozov’s interview indicates that China’s effort to weaponize nanotechnology applications is far more advanced than that of any other nation on earth. Russia and the USA may be capable of developing such weapons, but Mr. Navrozov asserts it would take a dictatorship in Russia to mobilize enough assets to match China’s efforts and the USA would need to wake up “from its sleep” re: China’s existential threat to the USA’s existence. Russia may be slipping back into a dictatorial mode via Mr. Putin and Mr. Medvedev, but the American leadership seems comatose concerning the dangers posed by Chinese nanotechnology weaponry. The first link asserts that when China has developed a nanotechnology superweapon, it may simply give other nations “an ultimatum for unconditional surrender or just the annihilation of the West without any ultimatum.” He cites Eric Drexler, apparently an early researcher on nanotechnology, as stating that nanotechnology weapons would be “a rather surgical system of seeking and destroying enemy human beings as cancerous polyps…leaving the [attacked] nation’s infrastructure intact to be repopulated” (emphasis added). Keep this quote in mind when we examine biblical possibilities below. China has a massive population and needs “living space” in other nations for its teeming millions. As we will see, a perfected nanotechnology weapon could eliminate native populations in attacked nations and the Chinese could simply walk in and take over everything the targeted nation previously owned.

Fourth-Generation Nuclear Weapons
First- and second-generation nuclear weapons are atomic and hydrogen bombs developed during the 1940s and 1950s, while third-generation weapons comprise a number of concepts developed between the 1960s and 1980s, e.g. the neutron bomb, which never found a permanent place in the military arsenals.
Fourth-generation nuclear weapons are new types of nuclear explosives that can be developed in full compliance with the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) using inertial confinement fusion (ICF) facilities such as the NIF in the US, and other advanced technologies which are under active development in all the major nuclear-weapon states - and in major industrial powers such as Germany and Japan.11
In a nutshell, the defining technical characteristic of fourth-generation nuclear weapons is the triggering - by some advanced technology such as a superlaser, magnetic compression, antimatter, etc. - of a relatively small thermonuclear explosion in which a deuterium-tritium mixture is burnt in a device whose weight and size are not much larger than a few kilograms and litres.
Since the yield of these warheads could go from a fraction of a ton to many tens of tons of high-explosive equivalent, their delivery by precision-guided munitions or other means will dramatically increase the fire-power of those who possess them - without crossing the threshold of using kiloton-to-megaton nuclear weapons, and therefore without breaking the taboo against the first-use of weapons of mass destruction.
Moreover, since these new weapons will use no (or very little) fissionable materials, they will produce virtually no radioactive fallout. Their proponents will define them as "clean" nuclear weapons - and possibly draw a parallel between their battlefield use and the consequences of the expenditure of depleted uranium ammunition.12
In practice, since the controlled release of thermonuclear energy in the form of laboratory scale explosions (i.e., equivalent to a few kilograms of high-explosives) at ICF facilities like NIF is likely to succeed in the next 10 to 15 years, the main arms control question is how to prevent this know-how being used to manufacture fourth-generation nuclear weapons.
As we have already seen, nanotechnology and micromechanical engineering are integral parts of ICF pellet construction. But this is also the case with ICF drivers and diagnostic devices, and even more so with all the hardware that will have to be miniaturised and 'ruggedised' to the extreme in order to produce a compact, robust, and cost-effective weapon.
A thorough discussion of the potential of nanotechnology and microelectromechanical engineering in relation to the emergence of fourth-generation nuclear weapons is therefore of the utmost importance. It is likely that this discussion will be difficult, not just because of secrecy and other restrictions, but mainly because the military usefulness and usability of these weapons is likely to remain very high as long as precision-guided delivery systems dominate the battlefield.
It is therefore important to realise that the technological hurdles that have to be overcome in order for laboratory scale thermonuclear explosions to be turned into weapons may be the only remaining significant barrier against the introduction and proliferation of fourth-generation nuclear weapons. For this reason alone - and there are many others, beyond the scope of this paper - very serious consideration should be given to the possibility of promoting an 'Inner Space Treaty' to prohibit the military development and application of nanotechnological devices and techniques.
