Soooo of kim is assassinated it's automatic nuke?

Are there any of those anymore?

Yes but NONE of them are owned by billionaires. The Washington Post has been totally gutted by Jeff Bezos since he ordered the editorial board not to endorse Kamala Harris.

The top reporters who didn’t leave at that point have subsequently been downsized.
 
And let's America know that if something happens to this fat blob with bad hair it will be time to nuke NK off the map.
If something happens to Trump--given the times it did happen it was a republican who was behind the trigger, we can’t blame North Korea.

Glad to hear you’re now calling Trump a “fat blob” as well.
 
There is enough nuclear power sitting under the ocean surface off the coast of NK that if fatboy decides to lob nukes at us NK will be glass within 10 minutes. Each one of these can carry up to 8 individual MIRV's. Each warhead is 1.2mega tons. That's about 100 times more than Hiroshima, for EACH warhead, and each missile has 8. Each sub carries 26 missiles. Do the math.

Pretty sure most of our nukes are in the 4-500 Kt range. Mega ton yields are for tipping silo nukes over. Russian fav.
 
Actually, no. Pyonyang is a big city, one can't it wipe out with one 100 kt or even 455 kt warhead.

And you're an idiot. YES, one would wipe out Pyongyang and most areas around it. The 3rd degree burn blast radius is almost 70mi from the epicenter. 15mi from epicenter most if not all buildings are completely destroyed.

Here is a nuclear war simulation detonation of 445kt warhead directly over Pyongyang.



Please quit acting like you know so much about this, because you don't.
 
Not necessarily. If you need to hit a silo, there, usually, should be surface burst, or even underground. Or underwater if you need to hit a submarine (while, nowadays, the USA doesn't posses underwater charges). Or, a shaped-explosive nuclear charge that hits a target with a jet of super-dense Uranium plasma for the very deep underground targets.
You are so full of shit!
 
Triton missiles each carry 8 warheads apiece. They are everywhere....on submarines, military bases around the world on mobile launchers, and silos in the side of Hell's Canyon in Idaho and other locations. (Narrow, DEEP canyon).
Do you mean SSM-N-2 Triton missile? They say it was cancelled in 1957 without made even a single prototype.
-----------
The SSM-N-2 Triton was a supersonic nuclear land-attack cruise missile project for the United States Navy. It was in development from 1946 to 1957, but probably no prototypes were produced or tested. The Triton program was approved in September 1946, designated SSM-2 a year later, and redesignated SSM-N-2 in early 1948.[1][2] A preliminary design was produced by 1950 as the XSSM-N-2, but was scaled down by 1955 and redesigned again in 1957. Triton was cancelled in 1957, probably as a result of the 1956 decision to focus the Navy's strategic weapons development on the Polaris submarine-launched ballistic missile.[3] In any case, prototypes of the similar Regulus II missile had already flown, and Triton was redundant, offering only an increase in range from 1,000 to 1,500 nautical miles (1,900 to 2,800 km) , which Polaris was about to achieve along with many other advantages. Regulus II was itself cancelled in 1958, although testing of missiles already built continued for several years.[1][2]
------------

As far as I know, there are no any Triton missiles nowadays.

90% correct....GREAT job! (Most don't even get this much correct)

The part you left out is that these warheads do not have to be nuclear....but it helps considering what's coming back at us for firing off a ICBM unscheduled.....EVERYONE watches out for those things these days.

Also....these are going to be fusion bombs instead of fission bombs (much cleaner with HUGE burst of life ending radiation but little residual radiation).

Also the size of the detonation (yield) can be changed during flight and even final destination can be changed in flight.

Triton missiles each carry 8 warheads apiece. They are everywhere....on submarines, military bases around the world on mobile launchers, and silos in the side of Hell's Canyon in Idaho and other locations. (Narrow, DEEP canyon).

The military spends 20 billion each year on upkeep and maintenance....including replacing the tritium every year in some. (20 yr half-life) The USA's missiles are very much viable. Russia? China? Great question... these are not just something thrown in a closet and hope they work....and both of these countries have issues with integrity of service personnel....using solid rocket fuel to cook hot pots, pocketing the money supposedly spent refurbishing equipment. (Lots of issues)

There will be 3rd degree burns at 70 mi only if the air is absolutely clean (it happens quite rarely), if skin is not covered with clothes, and if victim is exposed to the light and thermal emission for all time of the glow - more than ten seconds. It can't happen with more or less sane human being. If we feel hot we try to avoid it. And, what is even more important, if we hear alarm sound, we go to a shelter. And if you reacted quickly by hiding your face and hands, 3rd degree burns became only 1st degree.

15mi from epicenter most if not all buildings are completely destroyed.
Wow. Can't you read what is written on your picture? Radius of heavy blast damage is 1.03 mi, and radius of moderate blast damage is 2.17 mi. And on your map is definitely shown that most of the city is pretty intact.

It was my military speciality.


At least I can read map and description to it. The square of Pyongyang is 320 square miles. The square of heavy destruction zone after a 500 kt blast estimated as 3.35 square miles and square of moderate destruction zone estimated as 15 square miles. Roughly 1% and 5% of the total city square. Doesn't seem like a "total destruction" to me.

Get a life.
 
That thing happens....
So close with the name....but I still miss it.

But either way....those missiles.....if only one gets airborne it's game over for whomever.

One is sufficient for Moscow and St Petersburg. Nothing will be left alive except for a few bacteria on the outskirts of town..

The Middle East is another matter altogether. Cities are great but what we are usually aiming for is a guy in a tent with a few goats and a camel. So frustrating.
 
Get a life.
Or take a life?
C'mon, from one hand, I'm just getting lulz, from another - better understanding of the possible consequences of the modern warfare (including nuclear strikes) may prevent you from doing really stupid things, like overestimating your own deterrence and getting too provocative. Reality is important and if we want to survive to 2030 without a catastrophe - we should be realistic.

It's simply not true.
 
It's simply not true.
Really? 5 warheads for Moscow and 3 warheads for St Petersburg isn't enough? Probably need the large yield.

I think you are living in a fantasy world. Those cities aren't that big.....
Each warhead on these missiles has a flexible configuration....
5kt-475kt. 8-12 independent warheads each. These are hydrogen bombs.....not just any nuke. Nothing survives their blast waves or radiation burst. And fallout is minimal from H bombs. Also far enough North that what little fallout that would happen.....

But nuclear war is not nice....

Only PITA leaders use or have "dead hand" switches.....meaning that the entire world considers their nation a pariah.....the entire world ALL would benefit from their demise.

Kinda like diseased Somalians....another pariah nation. Nobody wants them around either. Much easier to live without them than with them.....I'm sure everyone has run the cost/benefit analysis at this point....

SK? Nobody would miss them or notice they are even gone. They are trying to achieve notice....

Russia? The resulting peaceful world will be almost boring.

Somalia? They, themselves might thank you for putting them out of their misery. It's a garbage dump nation. Land is worth more than their entire incest bred nation. 60 IQ average....not much better than animals.
 
First of all, because "beating" Ukraine is not our goal. Our goal is "de-nazification" of Ukraine. They are part of us, after all.


We do need to worry about the US, and this is one of the reasons why we are that self-restraint on other directions.
And no, the only thing USA can do about Russia is knee and gobble.
Bullshit. You assholes invaded Ukraine. You targeted its civilian population areas and its infrastructure. And you expected to just roll over Ukraine in a few weeks.

So whatever you want to pretend your “goal” was, your methodology was to beat (defeat) the nation you invaded. And get real, anyway. It was your goal.

I say “you” meaning “Russia, under Putin’s reign.
 
Really? 5 warheads for Moscow and 3 warheads for St Petersburg isn't enough? Probably need the large yield.
Enough for what? To deter Russia (or America) in a commercial discussion about rights of property on a refinery in Eastern Syria, about a diamond mine in Central Africa or about an oil field somewhere in Venezuela's jungles? It's pretty enough. If we a talking about those things, the risk of losing billions dollars and many thousands of lives is definitely "unacceptable". But if we are talking about really important things, like, say, Ukraine for Russia, or California for America, those losses became a triffle. Russia already lost more. And, of course, even total destruction of Moscow is an acceptable price of victory. Napoleon had totally burnt Moscow down, but lost the war. And in several years Moscow was rebuilt much better than it was.

I think you are living in a fantasy world.
I prefer the term "turbo-realism". "Fantasy is truth, disguised as lie, and documentary is lie, disguised as truth". And, of course, Mordor in "The Rings of Power" is more realistic than Russia in CNN-verse.

You best start believing in Sci Fi stories, mr John. You're in one!



Those cities aren't that big.....
Just google it. The square of Moscow is 989 square miles, of Saint-Peterburg is 556 square miles, square of Pyongyang is, as I said earlier, 320 square miles. Those are big and modern cities. Unlike, say, New York city, with mere 305 square miles of garbage and bums.

This is an odd development. What happens if somebody.... Anybody just randomly offs the
Guy?


This is a great argument for Trump doing what he’s doing in Iran. You can’t let nuts have nukes.
 
Bullshit. You assholes invaded Ukraine. You targeted its civilian population areas and its infrastructure. And you expected to just roll over Ukraine in a few weeks.
We don't bite more than we can chew. And comfortable chewing of even two-five million people region takes time.

So whatever you want to pretend your “goal” was, your methodology was to beat (defeat) the nation you invaded. And get real, anyway. It was your goal.
Of course we play to win, not to lose. Of course, Ukraine "nation" (not a real nation, of course) should be defeated and eliminated (as "nation"). But if we conquer a territory with forty million of half-hostile population for just face a guerrilla war... It's not a victory.
If, say, the USA wants to annex Canada, you shouldn't swallow it in one piece, because it might destroy the Union from inside. First of all, you should take people who want to be taken (like Alberta), and then kill or expel all anti-American freaks. First in Alberta, then in other Canadian states and only when the soil is prepared, seeds are sown, and the plants are ripe... Only then you should harvest.
