” a whole bunch of ICBMs will follow and we will retaliate to the point of making the earth uninhabitable for a few thousand years.”
Thousands of years, maybe, but consider Hiroshima today:
That makes me look forward to the EMP stopping my heart before all that nuking goes down.
The Hiroshima bomb was nothing like we have today. The packages we deliver today are 1000 times more powerful. And while it was one bomb, we are capable of sending 1000’s from land base, sea base, or air. The impact of the attack will be devastating to everything reasonably close and the nuclear winter that follows will kill every growing thing on earth plant and ultimately animal.
