Maybe you should enter a defensive alignment with Russia. You could pay them with better nuke power technology. And they would use their weapons to protect you from the US. go back to the old East German model... |
AH, no, I would ally with north-korea.
AH, when I say USA=Militiaristic/Expansionist, don't you think that implies, that I don't want anything to with people who spend 60 % of their taxes for military-spending ? In other words, a country with an East-German system ?

A good nuke has around 40 km in complete killing radius. and another 40 with 50% fatalities, IIRC. this would kill tens of thousands of Arabs in Jaffa and Lud, and will kill lots of Palestinians as well. |
No it doesn't. A 1 Megaton nuclear device would kill about 90% of the people within about a 4 mile radius, with an exponential drop-off with eery single mile more. I have looked this up several times in books about Nuclear effects. Up to 20 miles out you do get serious injuries, blast damage of some sort and heat damage, plus anyone who was looking in the direction of the bomb is blinded. Still, that is well bellow your 40 km radius, and nukes in the megaton range are rare now.

Not to intrude on your anti-American rant, pal, but 60% is a wildly inflated figure. If you are going to exaggerate for effect, it's best not to double the number.
Frankly, if it's the US using nukes that worries you, you should hope the US's conventional forces stay strong, because so long as we have conventional superiority, there will be no need whatsoever to use nukes, other than as a deterrent (MAD).

Where? It could be interesting reading.
Then again I like NW FAQ it is short and more or less correct.

Doesn't wind play a big part in radioactive fallout?

From http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/bomb/sfeature/1mtfall.html
For a 1 Megaton bomb:
quote:
Assumptions
Wind speed: 15 mph
Wind direction: due east
Time frame: 7 days
3,000 Rem*
Distance: 30 miles
Much more than a lethal dose of radiation. Death can occur within hours of exposure. About 10 years will need to pass before levels of radioactivity in this area drop low enough to be considered safe, by U.S. peacetime standards.
900 Rem
Distance: 90 miles
A lethal dose of radiation. Death occurs from two to fourteen days. |

Military spending, as of 2002, is 3.2% of our GDP.
So, where did you get 60%? Pulled it out of your ass?
And Spiffor, how do people being bigots make them likely to nuke people? Are you implying that our surrent government would actually nuke people, or even invade them for that matter, because we are racists?  Jesus.
