I think it's more about who would you like to be trapped in a bomb shelter with. Isn't that the true secret to survival?

Shrew you better watch what you say and who you criticize on this forum or your post will mysteriously disappear.

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.

No one here is afraid of big bad Russia, except Obama and clan. Or China! I'm not going to be hiding away in a bomb shelter, I would rather give military support should we start needing bomb shelters. I will never understand communism, people who live under the gun of their very own government, and you own nothing! Stalin was indeed worse than Hitler, and it was thus very important we beat Russia to defeating Japan. Don't mess with the US!

Ok, so i'm way off topic,...

Right on Allen!
Although a post about how fast Mustangs are would make it complete.
