It's quite a bit worse than just blackmailing opponents. He's looking to hold the American people hostage, using death and suffering in order to achieve political gain. This is a disgusting trait shared only by authoritarian idols of Trump like Putin and Assad and Kim Jong-Un. That's right, I said it. He has to denounce them publicly (not so much Putin, which is the LDO kind of obvious), but privately he looks up to them and admires their power, wealth, leadership, etc.

Trump seems like he is going with the Nixon FP strategy of making your opponents think you are just as insane as they are.

This isn't to say you wouldn't be impressed from even a mile away.

Try playing around with http://nuclearsecrecy.com/nukemap/ if you want to see what a nuclear missile strike would do to your neighborhood.

Crater size is nothing like blast area. A 110 mile crater is obviously a much bigger crater than any of nuclear bomb would make, but it's not that big on a global scale. Still, the asteroid that made that crater killed 75% of the life on earth. There hasn't even been a crater found from the Tunguska meteor which had an air burst. It knocked down 80 million trees.

While I'm in the mood to rant, I'd like to point out how sick the constant chest thumping on the right is making me. I wanna puke whenever Hannity speaks or DJT Jr retweets. Don't these idiots realize they're only a **** hair away from regretting every single thump? For things to stay exactly as they are, with Trump "winning" and the rest of the world backing down to his bullying and phony displays of force, would be a total luckbox.

So you are quite happy for Assad to keep using sarin gas against his own people and for Kim jong nut-job to keep developing nuclear weapons?

By relentlessly bringing in a number of strategic nuclear assets to the Korean peninsula, the U.S. is gravely threatening the peace and safety and driving the situation to the brink of a nuclear war," said North Korea's statement.

I know nk can't reach the US but i am seriously concerned for South Korea. This is getting out of hand quick. They are almost certainly doing a test on Sun day and that means ****s gonna go down

Why not? Trump was, until the political pressure made him feel stupid and ineffective.

We have a nut job with nukes in the white house too, which should equally concern you. The only other alternative to your scenario doesn't need to be nuclear (world?) war.

BroadaySushy,

You're and English ethno-nationist, so it's the Polish you hate right? You are just hating Mexicans in solidarity?

It's time to stop posting dude--he's coming off better than you are and he's just trolling.

Why is the first instinct of america when someone's killing people in the world to beat them to it? Makes no sense at all.

You can maximize the radius for a particular value of overpressure by setting the right altitude, but this thing isn't going to produce significant effects out to a mile, other than scaring the crap out of people. But then that was probably the point.

Mitch McConnell said Trump is "learning on the job" through these latest flip flops. I wonder how many people will have to give their lives to pay for his training.

The other sick thing is how many horrible items Trump gets to sneak through while the news is focused on war-time distractions.

All this can be for anyone is feels, but I think Trump is the most likely world leader to use a nuclear weapon and Kim Jong-Un is second. I'm not sure which should concern English ethnonationists though since neither of them are going to target England.

1. English 2. ethno-nationalist 3. hate Polish 4. hate Mexicans

Are you denying all four? I'm definitely the least confident in #1. I don't recall where, but someone said something about that. You didn't necessarily strike me as English.
