And it was half a powerful as the bomb they had built. Now think that Russia has about 6,000 nucleear weapons. Only 5 or 6 of those weapons need to explode to induce nuclear winter and the end of human civilization. Doing the math, if 1/10th of 1% - 1 out of 1000! - of Russia's nuclear weapons reaches Western targets it means the end of human civilization.

THAT is why the continued sabre rattling rather with Russia is fucking insanity.

Detente with the Soviet Union worked for decades. Yes, peace with your enemies sucks. What sucks worse is 90% of all life on the planet either being blasted, dying of radiation poisoning, or starving to death in a nuclear winter.

The west needs to grow the fuck up and understand that the US unipolar moment has ended before those idiots get us all killed.
