So how does Defense Secretary Ben Wallace know all this, or is it just speculation on his part? The over the top propaganda coming from the Brits even surpasses that of the Americans, no wonder Putin has been musing over a nuclear strike on them in the media lately. He claims he can take out the UK and Ireland with just one 100 megaton nuke hitting the sea between them.

Good luck with that. Even Brandon isn’t bought and paid for enough to ignore a nuclear strike.

“The over the top propaganda coming from the Brits even surpasses that of the Americans, no wonder Putin has been musing over a nuclear strike on them in the media lately.”

And the propaganda from Russia?

The largest nuclear weapon ever tested was the Tsar Bomba in 1961, by the Soviets, at 50 Megatons (MT). Theoretically, they could have doubled it to 100 MT, but did not test that version.

There is no more Tsar Bomba. Making another would violate numerous nuclear arms treaties.

The largest nuke the Russians have currently ready for delivery is 10 MT.
