Oh yeah, the Minuteman with a cone full of W88s is a massive destruction machine. It could take out a good 500km x 60km stretch of earth. A submarine full of them, just wow. Nukes are so amazing that even people that think they understand the power of a nuke are far, far underestimating the power that can be unleashed. It’s just like imagining the distance across the universe. It’s almost unfathomable and impossible to put into terms that we can easily identify with.
They think in terms of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and those were over 70 years ago. It’s like comparing a 747 to the Wright flyer.
