Nukes can't destroy the earth, but they could destroy human civilization.

@to0kold You cant add 118 miles to the average list and call us stupid, stupid.

[heisenfeis]

100 times bigger than hiroshima

[19unseenpunk]

yeah 120 miles for a blast radius for a nuke is retarded.

[tehBLAX]

fake

[geinman1287]

No nuclear weapon ever had a blast radius of 120 miles. This is sheer fantasy. I suggest you check out "The Effects Of Nuclear Weapons" by Samuel Glasstone and Philip Dolan. It will give you real information, not propaganda.

Nuclear war is a complete waste of time. So you turn your enemies cities in to glowing green parking lots and they do the same to you. Both of you stick you heads out of your bunkers a week later to a waste land as far as the eye can see and proclaim, "Yeah but we sure showed them" And what policy or ideal is worth it? None.

A "typical" for average sakes nuclear weapon has a blast radius of 120 sq miles. The us has 3,537,441 sq miles of land. That means you would need only 30k nuclear weapons evenly spaced. Both the us and russia had over 35k nukes at one point. Now imagine being able to clear a continent the size of the u.s. now imagine the aftermath and fallout. The U.S. alone not like u may think...but still could have easily destroyed the world. Do your research so dudes like me dont make dont make you look dumb
