These weapons are very destructive and detonating a large multimegaton-sized warhead anywhere is asking for a nuclear winter. Just one might do the trick. The amount of fallout, if detonated in North America, could wipe out the entire U.S. Everything after that is overkill. Mutually Assured Destruction. [The W80, of course, is a smaller warhead.]

Just curious if anyone went to the willthomas site and read COMMAND OVERRIDE which purports to describe China commandeering VP Cheney’s aircraft and forcing it to land in Singapore - what say you all?

I know. I remember that worldwide ice age after the Soviets detonated a 57MT weapon in 1961.
