Feeling good now about installing such a demented old fool as Biden and knowing that he could literally get us all killed? Is that really worth stealing an election over and getting CRT, open borders, and tranny rights through????

WAKE THE HELL UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let's hope there are enough sane people left in the US to understand why we can NEVER HAVE SUCH AN IDIOT AS BIDEN IN OFFICE AGAIN. Not only is the well being of every citizen of the US at stake, the very existence of mankind is at stake with such an imbecile "in charge".

SCARED ENOUGH YET DEMS TO BE SHOCKED BACK TO SANITY?
They will just justify it over the forums during last 15 to 30 minutes most of us will have left as the ICBM's come flying over the oceans to achieve natural selection.

These types of weapons should never have been made. Too late now.

In general, nukes are not used for civil population. They are used for heavily fortified military objects and for heavily fortified command centers. Missile silos.

There are five nuclear strike targets in the USA. One of them is the Cheyenne mountains center. Unfortunately, one of them is north of where we are, in WA state. There's a national command center up there.
Hypersonic missiles are not for buildings etc. They are deep bunker busters. Places, where those in power hope to hide and survive. Primarily.
Of course, there was operation Gomorrah, when devastation, similar to nuke one, was done on civil population... so who knows.

This page has some good simulators, the full scale attack simulation is interesting.

The single city attack simulator will show fallout if you pick “surface” burst instead of air.

Carlos Labs / Ground Zero has a world map that lets you enter the city and the type of bomb/weapon and it will show you the radius, crispy critter areas, fall out areas, etc. :

Yeah, Japan said that way back in 1945. We were too busy celebrating.

If Russia were to use nuclear weapons on us. How destructive are they?

Is that a serious question?

The nukes that both Russia and America yield are a helluva lot more powerful than the two used on Japan. And a good many of their missiles carry 10 warheads each. Their subs and planes can also deliver nukes as do ours.

Either side launches a nuke, it's farewell world.

Ummmm, ICBMs on both sides are not restricted by range. They can hit anywhere they are guided on earth.

If one side hits the button the other will, and probably several other nations as well. Thousands of ICBMs, bombers armed with nukes, subs with nukes. What would be left wouldn't be worth living the short life you'd have. Best pray that you are incinerated right up front if that happens.

The bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagosaki were around 20-25 kilotons. What we and the Russians have now are in the megatons. Just one large nuke would be catastrophic. Hitting the LA area or New York would probably be as bad as you say.
