ORIGINAL: Dvr22999874 The bombs that dropped on Singapore were conventional bombs of very little power compared to the things that the two lunatics are prepared to throw around. Do you know what a one megaton bomb is ? It is the equivalent of one thousand tons of TNT and it was a one megaton firecracker that was dropped on Hiroshima. The things they are bragging about these days go up in many multiples of that. If the birds fly, there will be little to build on in the Korean Peninsula and nobody to build it anyway; north OR south. One other thing, do you realise what speed those things are travelling at, just before they strike ? It's Mach 20, which may or may not be brought down by an anti-missile-missile. Nobody really knows yet. Maybe we will have a chance to find out in the not too distant future. I sincerely hope not though. Not to put too fine of a point on this but 1 megaton is equivalent to 1 million tons of TNT. The bombs dropped on Japanese were IIRC 15 and 22 kilotons, i.e., thousands of tons. A small fraction of the 1 megaton bomb.
