On October 30, 1961, the Soviet Union set off the largest man-made explosion in history. A thermonuclear device officially called the RDS-220, but in the West we know it as Tsar Bomba. Watch

And where’d they get the knowledge? From spies and traitors in the U.S. Meanwhile fat hillary skates free after giving them more uranium. What else did she give them?
That was interesting. But if you want to see something that is scary but amazing, I clicked on a video that came up as a suggestion. It’s a time-lapse of every nuclear explosion between 1945 – 1998. Mesmerizing.

The muslims. Would still be there.
… like the cockroaches that they are!
The next Nuclear Blast will be on top of North Korea if they don’t stop their saber rattling and rocket testing.

Sorry for being pedantic but I’ve seen different versions of that chart. It is inaccurate because it gives the wrong idea that those are the relative sizes of those devices’ mushroom clouds. It did not it does not work that way.
I remember when the Soviets were
testing ever larger hydrogen
bombs back in the 60’s. Their
ICBM accuracy was crap so they
went to hand grenade and horse shoe
philosophy of all it had to do was get kinda close to kill the target.
They popped at least one that was
60 MEGATON. It was supposed to be
100 MEG’s but they choked the explosion down to 60 because there
were some valid fears that the
bigger blast could effect the
Earth’s spin/orbit. How many
Megatons was the Tsar?
Was that Rodney Dangerfield’s kid?
I was living in Orléans, France then–my Dad was stationed there from 60-63. My brother and I had to wear our dog tags to school everyday in case Russia did something and we had to be bussed away. Of course, we would have been dead but…Fun times. I was 9 when we got there and 12 when we left.
@John the Wikipedia page says there was controversy about the exact yield, but they’ve settled on 51 megatons.
We’ll meet again
don’t know where
don’t know when….
Let me tell Ya people,If just 1 nuke
is used on any city in the world,it is
the end of civilization as we know it PERIOD!
It’s already happened twice and we’re still here.

How much longer can our luck last? It’s really just a question of when. Couple man’s stupidity and the spread of these reality changing weapons and the future looks bleak.
Corky,
My Dad was stationed at Ramstein, Germany, during that same period: 60-63.
We had to keep a stocked fall-out shelter in the basement with water spiked with chlorine tablets (tasted like shit). Drills every couple of weeks, in school and at home. Yep, we had to wear dog-tags, too. The round-the-clock B-52s were awesome – and I mean that in the original sense – AWESOME.
