[QUOTE=Zenpod;24800143]Well, Possibly if they mean a Atomic missle which has 24 warheads about 100 times more powerful than Hiroshima. All of which split and go different locations, it could easily kill millions[/QUOTE]
First of all, Nuclear and Atomic are synonymous in this context. Second, you mean an Intercontinental balistic missile that splits off to target several different targets. Third, fat man and little boy were shitty things barely able to start a chain reaction, modern Nuclear weaponry is obvously going to be a hell of a lot more powerful than it.
Btw, only the US, Russia and China have decent ICBMs so unless we go to war with them for some unrelated reason, it ain't going to happen.
[QUOTE=Zezibesh;24798314]It's actually right. Everyone just thinks all the deaths related to a nuke explosion are from the explosion itself, and not the [B]massive firestorm afterwards which would burn the whole city down.[/B][/QUOTE]
It's from neither, :downs: the resulting loss of life after the initial detonation is caused by the shockwave, not a fucking fire.
[QUOTE=Devodiere;24798780]Ok, they don't fire a missile. That means they either have to drop a conventional explosive, use an artillery strike or make one hell of a carbomb. Either way, it's going to be a fuckload harder than a normal missile and the fact that they don't have one available either makes it not really an issue.[/QUOTE]
Nuclear carbombs, Nuclear artillery, nuclear explosives.

Yeah I'd say this man is pretty much correct.
[QUOTE=doonbugie2;24800552]Nuclear carbombs, Nuclear artillery, nuclear explosives.[/QUOTE]
Artillery requires that they get it working as an artillery shell and that they are close enough to actually use the artillery. Most dropping a bomb on a city would require that they can fly the plane over the city without being shot down by SAMs or intercepted by fighters. A nuclear carbomb seems the most likely but they still have to actually get it to the US which isn't exactly going to be an easy task. The very obtaining of a Nuclear weapon is something that they still haven't managed (aside from Pakistan who is very much under the thumb of the US and if we went to war with them, the nukes would be under our control very quickly).
And in other news, "Bears still continue to shit in woods".

You underestimate how insane certain Iranian politicians are.
I wouldn't put it past them at all, and you would be wise to consider the posibility yourself.

The shockwave is a part of the initial explosion.

haha, like medvedev is in charge of anything
Even if one country does use a nuclear weapon, if diplomatic relations and communications are good among other countries, military entities, and heads of state in the world, global thermonuclear war may be avoided.

[QUOTE=Squeaken;24797415]"A single atomic bomb could kill millions"
Nuclear weapons are really exaggerated these days...[/QUOTE]
The Tsar Bomba released 210 PJ of energy. That is 105 times more than the energy released in the Hati earthquake that killed 250,000 people.
This however, is released IN A GIANT BALL OF FIERY DOOM.
Nuclear war is really only a matter of time. With so many floating around it's inevitable that either a terrorist organisation will get a hold of one or a country will get backed into a corner and use one. Or another crazed hitler/kim jong will pop up and not be afraid to use nukes.
[QUOTE=Oblivious1;24799392]If it's true, I'm glad I'm not in a nuke hotspot, a country that keeps ass out of everybody's business[/QUOTE]
I live right outside the capitol of the United States.

[QUOTE=Zezibesh;24803701]The shockwave is a part of the initial explosion.
[/QUOTE]
Are you high? The shockwave is a 'secondary' blast that occurs after the initial explosion. It's not considered part of the first part of the explosion.
[QUOTE=Mister Royzo;24797478]Luckily we're all prepared.
Remember kids, when you see a bright flash on the horizon, jump to the nearest safe location.
If it's more than a few steps away, just fall flat on the ground, and cover your neck with your hands or your clothing.
Should you be in your classroom, just get under your desk. All US desks have been fortified with lead to make it a safe haven for you and me.
That's right Billy! You too can survive a nucleur war![/QUOTE]
The fuck are you talking about?
Just get in the nearest fridge.

No country uses one nuclear weapon. If you were to launch a nuclear attack, you'd fire all of them at once at as many places as you can, and the other people would do the same.
if a tactical nuke was used against military forces, that may be a different situation.
Unless they want most of the planet to be uninhabitable, none of them will fire nukes anytime soon. Like Hypno-Toad said, they would not fire just one- they would use all of them straight away, then the other countries with nukes will probably do the same.
In the event that one nation detonates a nuclear device in an act of war or terror...
That nation becomes a pile of smouldering dust.
No, seriously. They'd be nuked out of existence within the day. They wouldn't last seven minutes.
is this even newsworthy
nuclear war just :bravo2:
