That has always been a place where war could destroy the United States.
They have about 70 nukes each. Warheads. And the sort that they have and the purpose that they would employ them for essentially guarantees ground bursts because they’re trying to kill maximum number of people in the largest population of the world.
Ground bursts mean fallout. If you check the latitude of the region of conflict you will find that that fallout spread would force us to evacuate Texas, and its oil fields.
Apparently they don’t have Thermonuclear weapons or H-bomb’s. You can make an H-bomb at any scale desired but usually limited to 20 Megatons because anything bigger just gets wasted going into space.

Probably not - during the Cold War there were 500 above-ground tests. I’m not sure how many stirred up dust, but plenty did, and many of these nukes were seriously big. The last that I heard from India/Pakistan were that their nukes were small, smaller than Her-rho-she-ma (as the Left calls it). Might give China and Japan a decent dusting, though.
...of course I could be wrong. Be interesting to see what Scott has to say, as that’s his expertise.
