Look how many nukes would get lobbed at the Tri-state area.

you'll die a slightly more painful death when a huge wall of fire consumes you, rather than being vaporized instantly

population center

a 500-strike scenario is one assuming that america struck first and thus many soviet missiles were inoperable

in this scenario, the soviet union is going for maximum retaliation against population centers, and as it turns out, there aren't actually all that many major cities outside the top like 50-70, so as you go down the list you start taking out smaller 50k population towns

the irony is that the 500 nuke from hell's heart i stab at thee strike is the one that will kill ten times as many people as the first strike with thousands of nukes

might as well just make the first strike cover both eventualities, right? pre-emptively also kill their population centers so we still at least come out even

I just like posting it because there are a fuckload of nuclear missiles in the usa/russia and it helps to contextualize it

:agreed: i like it too

you should post it because nukechat is good. the power, the devastation, they're both so important to me

btw i was spurred into posting by the train of thought (heh!!! pre-pun!!!!) i ended up on after reading "they have manufacturing capacity and are a hub for railway transport," but not in a bad way i wasn't trying to argue w/ anyone oh jeez

quote:

The national government is implacably opposed to any breakaway moves by the northeastern region. Spanish Deputy Prime Minister Soraya Sáenz de Santamaría blamed the violence on the "crazy rush" of the Catalan regional government to hold the "unconstitutional" vote.

"The referendum couldn't be held, and it's not been held. To carry on with this farce makes no sense, it doesn't lead anywhere," she said in a news conference in Madrid on Sunday.

The Spanish Interior Ministry said authorities closed 92 of about 2,300 polling stations.

Defending the national police actions, Saenz de Santamaria said their objective had been to seize material associated with the referendum and not to target Catalans.
She called on the Catalan government to halt its "irresponsible behavior" and call off the vote. "Despite the blatant illegality of this, they wanted to continue, using children and old people recklessly."
