...Russia has 6,500 strategic nukes...

That's a LOT of holes in the ground!

And To Kill a Mockingbird.

But they portrayed life in those days. Erasing history is never a good idea.

I’m just pointing out that the whole One Second After thing was over exaggerated crap

Even when some folks can get nasty flesh impressions in their hands from clutching their pearls too tightly?

Then they don’t have to read the book if they don’t like it.

I suspect Cape Canaveral / Cocoa Beach is on that list too. From the space center down to AFTAC at PSFB.

Yes.
Anyway there are a half dozen more USA metropolitan areas on the Iranians’ announced nuclear bombing target list. But you’re right, if they try launching just one nuke their country will glow in the dark for a thousand years.

That is their whole point: they will be martyrs. Nuking them is what they want; in their fanatical religion, the 12er branch of Shiia Islam says that only blood will lure the 12th Imam out of the Well he climbed into 600 some years ago. The more blood the guy smells, the more sure it is he will climb out. Therefore, nuclear war is highly desirable. Which is why they are called the Mad Mullahs.

In case you are not familiar with this: the 12th Imam will lead Islamic forces to conquer the world by slaughtering every living human, thus bringing the entire human race to Paradise - with the last two fighters obligated to kill each other.

China’s policy is to take down countries without firing a shot and avoiding war. I’m aware. :)

Like the armed forces are discovering, no.

What makes you think a nuclear war would prevent a one world government?

It might hasten it.

For the few survivors.

One of the platforms looked like 10-12 maybe 14

But that was long ago

They used to claim a C4 (eventually D5)
equipped Ohio could destroy 400 cities

Well, there were 24 tubes, so.....

(that’s an average over 16 on a MIRV platform) - for an Ohio

Was it true? Dunno but that’s how they announced it on TV
