Last week Tucker said the explosive size of the current class of nuclear is such that a hit on NYC would take out the east coast down to Miami. He also said people in the know are genuinely worried that Biden administrations no-negotiations stance toward Russia could spin us into a nuclear confrontation
Tucker is trying to sell commercials.
What Putin really wants is the ability to use tactical nukes without consequences.
“the explosive size of the current class of nuclear is such that a hit on NYC would take out the east coast down to Miami.”
That is simply not possible. Nuclear weapons have awesome power, but not giant asteroid impact power.
A 1MT weapon will ruin your day, but 20 miles away from it I might not even break the glass in your house.
That’s not an opinion, that’s math and physics. Look online for tools to do this assessment. You’ll find that they are not as depicted in Hollywood.
If someone lobbed hundreds of 1MT bombs at the easter seaboard, you could certainly make a mess of things from NYC to Miami, but a single device? No. Not even close.
Utter nonsense!
