Then we'd fry like the planet's supply of lithium (as well as refining an incredible amount of tritium) to develop one immovable superweapon to ... destroy our own country?

The bombs aren’t really that big, except for the Mike shot, that was big because it was the first H bomb and the geeks were figuring out how to make it work.

The lithium is in a teflon layer inside the uranium tamper in the secondary. Dark Sun, mentioned above, goes into detail about how it works. The teflon being turned into a plasma helps with the compression of the tamper and also helps boost the yield. The whole thing is very slick in a nihilistic, hell fire sort of way.

I know nothing about our nuclear arsenals, but it surprises me that our largest (at least stated) are "only" 1.2 megaton. Not that it's anything to scoff at, don't get me wrong...I just thought we had some that were as large as 10 to 20 megatons. I guess not.

We've had bigger in the past. The W-53 on the Titan 2 was a city buster at 8 or 9 Megaton (Titan 2 museum said 8, wiki says 9).

A bomb that could thermally affect NYC and SC or whatever Dumpsterfire said? Would be gargantuan. City-sized.
 
Does anyone here find it frightening and abhorrent we are having this kind of discussion about a maniac elected POTUS and has a chance again in 2024?

Do all of you Trumpers finally get it? If you know what’s good for all of us you will suck it up and vote Biden for the sake of the country.

If this discussion doesn’t clue you in nothing will.

Remember when people like me were sounding the alarm about this guy? Red flashing lights were going off since 2016 and we were accused of having TDS. I think our position has been born out.

My memory is a little vague about this, I kind of remember something from maybe the early 80s where there would be a MIRV with hundreds of small nukes on it and I *believe* the example given was one missile could blanket the East coast.

Idk about hundreds but a single missile could contain a dozen or so warheads, each with adjustable yield. A fusion warhead can be made quite small these days.

You do know his base wants him, nuclear war and the redneck nonwoke Jesus to take them to Rapture while burning all the wokes (I.e. normal people) into eternal damnation right?

Good news.

DOJ just told Judge Cannon that the 60 days rule doesn’t apply to trump, as litigation has already begun. So he can be tried in August-early November.

What came of the hearing today? Did they schedule it for July ?
 
Let’s see what Cannon rules about immunity in regards to PRA after hearing arguments later this month. If more likely when she rules for the orange monkey, Smith will definitely look to get her removed. Unfortunately this will delay definitely for a few months. If she actually rejects immunity claims, then orange monkey will delay, delay, delay with appeals. Dumb SCOTUS will definitely write the other immunity ruling to not cover documents issues.
