Benefits of a large scale nuclear war

a reply to: Irishhaf

Volcanoes are basically like sticking something ten times the size of a nuclear bomb about one-third from the top of the mountain, directly inside.

Whatever it does not vaporize it turns instantly into a hot ash, basically from half to one third of the mountain is thrown into the atmosphere.

Nuclear weapons detonate above the surface. Mostly, they change the temperature and create some clouds. However the dust would not be enough to start a nuclear winter, especially globally.

On another note if you are outside the radius of the blast and are not incinerated, as long as you stay inside a concrete structure for about 24 to 72 hours most of the radiation is gone.

Now if you're talking about a radioactive Cobalt bomb (dirty) that kind of radiation can not only kill you but the dust can be transferred to other people and kill them as. (check out people salvaging x-ray machines oh, and getting into the Cobalt)

Although disgusting awful and thorough destruction and pain he would bring, it's not as bad as you would think. Unless you're living near a power plant, Major infrastructure (think Grand coulee dam / Golden gate bridge) or an air base.

The kill radius of these bombs is a lot smaller than most people think.

the whole point of the post was a nuclear war on SOME LEVEL IS INEVITABLE. And we can come up with a bunch of negatives.

Use your imagination. Or, don't you do any reading in the UFO forum? ;-)

Imagine, if you will - a world where nuclear war is no longer an option

It's interesting to think about. How would that affect the balance of power? Who suddenly becomes less afraid of who?

Considering the world as it is right now, indulging in some UFO fantasies is the only thing that keeps me going

But, about all your dreams? Lazy, weak minded, ugly nonsense - all of it. Regardless

Well there could be benefits to a nuclear war. There also could be benefits to a lobotomy. There could be benefits to castration. There could be benefits to going to hell, after all you wouldn't have to worry about sinning anymore.

But it's probably best not to explore those benefits.
