Weapons like this kept fat old politicians on BOTH sides of the Iron Curtain from EVEN THINKING about starting a third world war!

The problem was never solved they just waited till it would wind up somewhere else.

Yea; let's all give them thanks for literally vaporizing that island, dumping shitloads of radiation onto our planet, causing radiation poisoning in fifteen people and for bringing us to the brink of nuclear catastrophe.....

Idiot warhawks.

@GATTY22

given the physical size of the tsar bomb, its easier and more cost effective to use several smaller bombs over a wider area.

what's the point of it? minimizing the posibility of any organism surviving a nuclear war? And, two American bombs will do as well. Or one. Actually, dropping a single handgrenade in Moskov would be enough for some real angry people.
