Who needs an A bomb?
A shipload of fertilizer will do it.
Not a joke — what I am seeing in Beirut is unbelievable. Reminiscent of 9/11 and Hiroshima.
Beirut was indeed bad but not even remotely similar to even a small tactical nuke. .22 caliber compared to a 105mm howitzer isn’t even comparable.
That was maybe 2.5kT
Hiroshima was 15kT and Nagasaki was 21kT.
Tsar Bomba was 50+ MT.
We have ICBM’s with MIRVs of higher than Nagasaki threshold individually.

Texas City, Texas 1947. A ship filled with ammonium nitrate exploded just like what happened in Beirut.
