| #15 I miss President Ronald Reagan and the Rod’s From God weapon idea. No fallout but equally devastating. Story came up again a few years back. https://www.wearethemighty.com/articles/these-air-force-rods-from-god-could-hit-with-the-force-of-a-nuclear-weapon/ |

| #9 Because they're the corporate media, the tool of power? They're ginning up support for a nuclear war? Remember, a nuclear war is better than taking an L in Ukraine. |

| #8 Our nukes are getting pretty old. If we’re going to have them they should be kept current. |

| #7 All that work that Nixon and Brezhnev did for the Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty down the drain. We know Democrats hated Nixon as much as they hate Trump. We know Democrats are destructive. But now it seems they want to burn the whole world. |

| #4 bomb's estimated maximum yield of 360 kilotons of TNT Two orders of magnitude less than the largest nukes tested. I imagine the Russians and the Chinese are shaking in their boots. |

| #3 Whaaat? Yeah, and all you have to do is get one there. (A gravity bomb on Moscow...) Somebody's been smoking stealth bomber crack. |

| #1 24 times more powerful than the nuke detonated in Hiroshima How much is that in elephants? Sometimes the interesting thing about a news story is not the topic, but the timing. Why is the DM shopping this story now? The maps are all about Russia but the text is about China. |
