President Trump warns ‘monster’ nukes
could end the world ‘tomorrow’

So, they are a bigger threat than climate change?

These weapons have been sitting around for years with countries that are afraid to use them because they fear the destruction of those that will come back to them. mostly that isn't the real problem. IMO the real problem come with crazed countries like Iran getting Nukes. Countries that don't give a damn about life and are too stupid to fear killing their own people when the retaliation comes.

Trump is correct and we currently tolerate a religion on this planet that would gladly do it tomorrow and create billions of fake martyrs. Who would write the history books?

Read Annie Jacobsen's Nuclear War. clinton assisted the paranoid NorKs in acquiring nukes and China in developing missile delivery technology. The 0 and the bidet have given the religious nuts in Iran the opportunity to do the same. And the dims and their media called Reagan an Armageddonist and claim Trump is a Putin puppet? Just who are the crazies?

I've read the end of The Book, and that is not going to happen.

Can you even imagine what a megaton actually is?

Been that way from at least the 1960s. Not exactly new. The biggest danger is some a** gets them thinking 'If we have them, we should use them'. I remember reading a book where 50+ countries had nukes, many of them ruled by fools. The outcome was inevitable.

Trump was right again. The big thing that clearly potential enemy countries worry about when thinking about using nuclear weapons is the certain blowback that is sure to annihilate their countries in response to any use of such weapons. That deterrent aspect of the nuclear weapon situation is most important.

Seems to me telling the mullahs if they light off a nuke their children, nieces and nephews, parents, wives, everyone tangently my related to them will be assassinated. Promises like that would probably be answered by they would be doing their part for Allah's glory. Even so, give them the promise. Nuking Iran is a big joke. They consider their people sheep to be herded.

"Monster nukes" were the norm when delivery systems were pretty inaccurate, but most ceased to exist in the 80s. The standard warhead in the 50s and 60s were 5 or even 20 megatons. A megaton is a "equivalent" to a million tons of TNT. Those have all been dismantled and no longer are in our stockpile. The nukes that we have are the W78 warheads on the Minuteman missiles, the W76 warheads on Trident sub launched missiles and two gravity bombs, the bigger B83 and smaller B61. The W78 has a yield of about 330 kilotons (1/3 of a megaton), the W76 has a yield of about 100 kilotons (1/10 of a megaton), and according to online sources the B83 bomb can be set to up to 1.2 megatons yield, although it can also be set as low as a few kilotons, smaller than the Hiroshima and Nagasaki yields. The B61 bomb is reported to be adjustable, too, from a low of 0.3 kiltons to a max of 50 kiltons. 0.3 kiltons is about 2.5% of the yield of the Hiroshima bomb, or 300 tons of TNT. The only weapon we have left which would be possibly legitimately called a "monster nuke" would be the B83 bomb, if it is set to the highest setting. The rest are actually pretty small by nuclear standards, a very small fraction of what a standard nuclear weapon was in the 1950s and 1960s. The two ICBMs of that era were the Atlas and Titan, with 1.5 megatons and 9 megaton warheads respectively. Those were monster nukes. By comparison our ICBM warheads have only 3.7% of the yield that we had in the 60s. Perhaps by some standards, any nuclear weapon is a "monster", but the actual numbers say out nukes have been getting steadily fewer and smaller for 65 years.

So are the former anti-war hippies from the 60's. now known as liberal democrats, still disagreeing with PDJT on everything? Including this?

#10, did you author the screenplay for "Dr. Strangelove"? Never mind. This isn't a chat room.
