Ok.... yeah... don't worry about "informing" me. I'd say I'm pretty informed already. I have heard the story your talking about.... and it doesn't really change my position. In 1986 something almost happened that didn't. So.... it's still over. It still didn't happen. Someone almost made a very, very big mistake... then didn't, because someone else either had conviction, or common sense. Not sure which.
I'm not sure it would have affected me directly. I'm on the other end of the state. The blast zone from the largest bomb that the USSR had wouldn't even come half way across the state to me. You can see the affected damage of some different nuclear weapons using
this site. Incidentally, it's the largest nuclear bomb pre-loaded into the site. A 100MT bomb, interestingly, no one uses bombs that large anymore... or at least none that we know about.
The largest bomb that N Korea is known to have as of 2013 would barely even wipe out the small town I live in. I live 3 miles outside the center of town. The largest nuke N Korea has.... even the radiation burn would reach me. Fallout, I'm sure would, but immediate burns, explosions.... would not. Wipe out the town... but that's about it.
Dude.... give it up, and quit watching so much TV.
