Invade China? Thats expensive in blood and treasure. Lets cut to the chase and use machines. Isn't that what nukes are for? Nuke em--kill them all. Next lets get all the billion plus in India. The 1.4 billion Muslims too. Lets get rid of Russia. And we can't trust the Europeans or anyone else. And after we kill everyone else, we can start in on ourselves. We will be running low on nukes by then, so better save some of us for slave labor to make more nukes so we can continue exterminating people those who do not think right. Our traitors within.
And when we finally kill every last man woman and child on earth, we will finally have peace on earth. What a wonderful world it will be. No more disease, we can exterminate even the microbes.
you forgot to mention where we setup a 6 pack of nukes at the core of the earth so that we can blow it up after everything else is gone, because lets face it...the earth hasn't been praying to jesus lately
I'm sure you're just being sarcastic, but just in case, all the nuclear weapons in the world wouldn't even amount to a burp as far as the planet itself is concerned.
Errmmm. Statistics beg to differ.
The 50mt Tsar Bomba put out 1% of the energy of the sun. The Chicxulub crater was formed by an event larger than Tsar Bomba by a magnitude of 6. Going by that, it's easy to imagine the ~25,000-35,000 thermonuclear warheads on this earth are more than capable of greatly eclipsing the Chicxulub event. We could bathe every square inch of land on earth in massive heat and radiation, along with tens of thousands of craters.
Another easily possible event, if we really wanted to screw around, is to make a stationary, land-detonated supernuke. The technology exists to easily assemble a 15,000+Mt warhead. That kind of event would conceivably crack the crust of the earth wide open, leading to unpredictable consequences.
