You...realize that all "thermonuclear" is is doping your bomb with tritium/a light fusion stage to generate more neutrons, for more complete fission of the fissile primary, right?

All nuclear weapons are fission. Only newer ones are fusion boosted fission devices.

I assure you, there is more than enough nuclear ordinance laying around to ensure WWIV is fought with sticks and stones.

You do not want.



I’m fairly certain that some people truly do want to see the world burn.


Hard to do with cooked retinas, acute radiation poisoning, and the prospects of living beyond 20 cancer free are minimal.

Also, the world's a big place, even though the internet has made it seem small.

Yes, I understand it'd be nice to watch a good fee choice chunks burn... But I really don't think anyone is prepared for the hell on Earth of a full strategic nuclear exchange.


cooked retinas... try melted eyeballs... happened at hiroshima. nuclear weapons are truly barbaric
