    Russia is developing a 100 megaton nuclear weapon.

    It would destroy a city the size of NYC and instantly kill tens of millions. Millions around the city would be injured.

    Most strinkingly, the weapon would be laced with Cobalt-60, which would make the area of detonation and all areas of nuclear fallout uninhabitable for 100 years.

    Such a device would be nothing short of a weapon of genocide and should be declared illegal by the UN.

    The Russians (Soviets) have had 100 megaton nuclear weapons since 1961. Tsar Bomba was a 100 megaton nuclear weapon that was test detonated without its third stage firing so its test shot was limited to "only" 50 megatons.

    Even then, a 100 megaton nuclear weapon masses about 17 tons which is very hard to actually use.

    Democrats running to the UN for protection, lol.

    "just make it illegal and they won't ever make!"

    How gullible can they get.

    They going to sanction Russia with their armies? No they'e going to demand we do it. You're literally asking for ww3 to kick off.

    Part of this is a very typical post Cold War technique of the Russians bragging about some awesome new technology they supposedly have without pointing out that its almost the same thing they actually developed more than 25 years ago.

    Like the Russians bragging about their "unstoppable" Topol-M ICBMs when the "Topol-M" is just a new name for the SS-25s that the Soviets were testing....in the early 1980s.

    Next thing you know the Russians will be bragging about launching an artificial satellite or putting a dog into orbit.

    Russia is 8 decades too late to develop the first genocide weapon. The first genocide weapon was developed in Los Alamos in 1945 - and we did it. Ended WW2 in under a week with it.

    The options are to wage all out war to stop them, or to put up and shut up.

    Same deal with Young Kimshee, although he has much less strength.

    There are no good options.

    Do you understand that the source of this information is Popular Mechanics?

    Do you understand that the the Nuclear Posture Review makes no mention of it?

    You can read the entire report here:

    https://media.defense.gov/2018/Feb/.../2018-NUCLEAR-POSTURE-REVIEW-FINAL-REPORT.PDF

    Do you understand that a 100 mt warhead cannot be mounted on a missile?

    If you cannot mount such a warhead on a missile, what makes you think you can mount one on a torpedo?

    Ignorance abounds where nuclear weapons are concerned.

    A '"leaked report" is much like a "reliable anonymous source" - not very believable.

    I don't trust any of the crap the fake news outlets distribute.

    When I see a Pentagon spokesperson at the podium telling me this, I will believe it - otherwise, it's a lie.

    Russia would just veto the measure. They ARE on the security council after all.

    But anywho the only way to deal with Russia is to secretly arm anti-Putin rebels. Let them take him out.

    Well, it wouldn't be the same. We would be army Russian citizens, most of whom hate Putin and consider him a dictator. He's rigged several elections to stay in power, and there are many groups in Russian who want him either out of power, dead, or both. We arm those groups.

    Illegal aliens in the U.S. have no reason to fight the U.S. government. Quite the contrary.

    Look at Philly. Everything goes to the good their way and they turn to violence looting, burning, tearing stop lights down, clashing with police.

    Mankind has a natural and unquenchable thirst for violence.

    I have an alternate explanation. Georges Bataille had this idea that human beings need to expend the excess wealth we accumulate somehow, because wealth is not purely economic but also has a psychological dimension. He believed that, unless our excess was dedicated to creating something purely for the sake of creativity and luxury, our energy and nervousness would bubble up into conflict and neurosis.

    I think that this is the natural result of a very rich society with very little luxury or creativity. If we need to survive without producing life, we will survive while producing death.

    Now I know why there are mass shootings, and why these events must be accepted.

    When I was young and there were no mass shootings that was abnormal.
