    A giant waste of money. 800 nukes is plenty for pretty much anything and launching 100 would probably mean the end of life as we know it on planet earth. If you wanted to blow a bunch of money on the military there are better ways to do it.

      It would alter the course of human history for sure, but it wouldn’t actually end human civilization. Just being annoyingly pedantic after growing up in the cold war and learning about such cheerful topics as fallout patterns and blast wave radius and how to fashion air purifiers from an early age.

      True, but don’t tell them that, it’s better if they waste money on useless nuclears than genocide technology.

      Do you mean 100 all at once? Because we’ve been averaging 26.5 per year for the last 80 years
