it's old news but I hadn't seen it before

Putin often mentions the nuclear power of his country as a kind of threat against providing Ukraine with more weapons

nuclear power is one area where Russia is competitive with the U.S. in terms of its development

the Hiroshima nuclear bomb was estimated to have killed 140,000 people

Russia's current most powerful nuclear weapon is 3,333 times as destructive as the Hiroshima bomb

its' explosive power is roughly equivalent to all of the explosives used in World War 2 combined times 10


from the link:


" the Russian nuclear energy agency, Rosatom, released a 30-minute, formerly secret documentary video about the world’s largest hydrogen bomb detonation. The explosive force of the device — nicknamed Tsar Bomba, or the Tsar’s bomb, and set off on Oct. 30, 1961 — was 50 megatons, or the THE EQUIVALENT OF 50 MILLION TONS OF CONVENTIONAL EXPLOSIVE. That made it 3,333 times as destructive as the weapon used on Hiroshima, Japan, and also far more powerful than the 15 megaton weapon set off by the United States in 1954 in its largest hydrogen bomb blast."

If poor and want free stuff, move to NYC.

If working and want others to work too, move from NYC.

The Tsar bomb was never intended to be part of their arsenal, but just the Soviets showing off what is possible. Awesome though

I want to see a test of the reputed "tidal wave" nuke near an island.

The 10-gigaton bomb was a theoretical concept proposed during the Cold War (known as the "Sundial" project) but was never built or tested due to the impracticality of its immense size (it would weigh thousands of tons) and the understanding that even a single such detonation posed an existential threat to all of humanity.

In a ‘you can’t make this up’ moment, Boebert went to a Halloween party dressed up as a Mexican woman, with her boyfriend dressed up as an ICE agent! And she was ELECTED!

With only one race undecided in Virginia, the Democrats will hold at least 64 of the 100 seats, the most they have held in nearly 40 years.
Elections have consequences

California is getting rid of republican districts
The state with over 9 million Republicans will get no representation in DC thanks to Trump
More Republicans live in California then any other state in the country
Elections have consequences
ROTFL

I'm actually against Gerrymandering
I think blacks in Southern states should have representation in DC
I think Republicans in California should have representation in DC
Trump and Soopoo think otherwise and believe a vote is a vote which is sad and absurd
I believe voters should pick politicians
Trump and Soopoo believe politicians should be able to pick their voters
Bottom line , it's going against the best interests of the country due to DDS
Democrat derangement syndrome
Soopoo hates Dems so much , he's willing to sacrifice the largest population of republican voters in the country to pounding sand
I just don't get this type of thinking
It's a WTF moment for me.

The only way this could happen is if the reds (Rinos) were in on the scam:


Yes, its against the law to enter the USA without obeying current immigration law.

Yes, its against the law to aid and abet immigration criminals.


Domestic felons "usually" can't vote but foreign fugitives possibly can.

So in a USA election, Trump likely can't vote but Maduro could.


That's screwed up.
