@caekislove @MCMLXVIIOTG @ImperialAgent @King_Porgi @Shadowman311 @TheWanax They're real, but they've been massively exaggerated in their destructive power because the USA uses security theater to scare people into compliance. Just like the TSA after 9/11, or the useless masks and vaccines for covid. They're not doomsday devices, but they would wipe out a portion of a city if used on one, like a downtown area. Hiroshima and Nagasaki were dense cities made of wood, so the bombs created massive fires that made their effect worse for their size. Most radiation would be gone in 2 weeks. The real danger of nuclear war is infrastructure collapse, leading to mass starvation because cities can no longer supply food, pump water, etc.
