How I learnt to stop worrying and love the bomb

Stop worrying.

Pansies.

Omits radiation (overestimation of how many we need), and assumes that the drop points are coordinated and perfect (underestimation of how many we need).

In other news, go watch Dr Strangelove.

Hah, the people in the blast-radius would be the lucky ones. People caught in radioactive debris, would die painful deaths. I heard stories from Hiroshima or Nagasaki that peoples' shadows outlines burned into walls, that the concussive force knocked someone's eyes out. People trying to escape the heat by jumping into rivers jumped into boiling water. Nuclear warheads are not oversized explosives, they are oversized radioactive explosives.
