Topic	Russia is testing a nuclear torpedo that could flood the US with a tsunami

We've both dismantled most our stockpile as part of treaty agreements we made with one another but it was going from tens of thousands of warheads to thousands of warheads. We can still (mostly) blow each other up. Think about it like this. If Russia has 1,000 Nukes that can hit the US (they have more) that would mean 20 nukes per state. Can you name the top 20 largest cities in every state? Can you name the top 20 largest cities in your state? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_metropolitan_statistical_areas Here are the 384 metro areas in the US with over 50,000 people. How far down that list do you get before you start seeing cities you didn't even know exist? I'm, uh, perfectly aware. However, it's generally accepted that the large majority of nuclear weapons usage would not be fired at metropolitan areas regardless, nor would Russia expend all of its nuclear capacity in an exchange with the United States--The majority would target military installations and tactical operations areas. --- 'Cause you know that I have no fear, ain't gonna walk into the river and disappear. I'm gonna be a powerful man. Red blood running down the broken sand. <cite>Pogo_Marimo posted [p:952590673] in Russia is ...
