"Glass the Middle East" is a fairly significant opinion in American politics.

Like, yeah we could probably nuke anyone not a nuclear power and not get nuked back but I know there would be consequences I just can't imagine what they'd be. You do realise that even if one nuclear weapon detonates, it's likely the world will enter nuclear winter, yes?

He's saying that there are almost no scenarios where one bomb set off by the US isn't followed up with WWIII. * I suppose it's possible that he's just wrong

I'm serious, you need professional mental help if these thoughts are enough of a concern that you actively worry about them on a daily basis. Donald Trump isn't going to be President, he will not be in control of our nuclear arsenal, the world will not end from nuclear winter. Please

CelestialScribe posted:You do realise that even if one nuclear weapon detonates, it's likely the world will enter nuclear winter, yes? No, unless you detonated it on a Mt Everest made of old tires or something. It would be bad, but it would not be nuclear winter bad. Whether a full on exchange would cause one is itself a hotly debated issue but I think the consensus is that it would not be the detonations themselves as much as the thousands of burning cities spewing particulate that would cause climate change. Edit: If you meant "one detonation leads to a full nuclear exchange which leads to a nuclear winter" then take your time and type the whole sequence.

My understanding was that one detonation of a modern nuclear weapon - due to their immense power - would result in such large amounts of radiation it would eventually cover the entire planet. *Extremely* happy to be told I'm wrong.

Both the US and Soviets detonated bombs much more powerful than anything in anyone's current arsenal many times and we're not all dead. Edit: The W88s we use in out ICBMs have a yield of 0.5 MT. The US tested a number of multiple megaton (up tp 15, USSR up to 50) through the 70's. Bip Roberts fucked around with this message at 14:25 on Aug 3, 2016 |

Russia set off a 50 megaton bomb once and we're fine, and that was an experimental device much larger than any currently in anyone's arsenal. One nuke won't do it.

There would be radiation all over the place, sure, but radiation doesn't cause global cooling. A more realistic threat scenario involving one device is a terror attack. The city they target is toast and depending on the geography there will be a moderate to large amount of radioactive fallout, which will be spread by the prevailing winds, but the effect on climate would be at most on the scale of the Icelandic volcano eruption that grounded planes in Europe a few years ago. It will also be a smaller explosion than from an ICBM unless the terrorists got an ICBM, which usually have multiple warheads. One city getting hit would also mean there would be a some sort of effort to eventually control and put out the fire. For global climate effects you need a lot of cities burning out. Still, we don't want nuclear detonations anywhere at any time
