Well they only allow visitors twice a year.
The background radiation is certainly still higher then normal there. I wouldnt go there with a pregnant wife or go and live there.
But if it is only for a short duration its not that bad realy. (or so says my friend who works in a nuke power plant)

Deranged maniacs in control of nukes? Seriously, do you think it's even remotely likely outside of Hollywood?


Has anyone ever thought that someone would dare hijack a plane and "land" it inside the twin towers ? Yet we have results. It is possible, you see, the Americans are extremely affraid that, due to lack of security, some of Russian ole nuke cores get stolen. They even pay for security measures on some of Russian nulear silos, believe that :)

The power of nuclear weapons is overated, the Earth is a VERY big place, even setting off every nuke on the planet, would only harm higher organisms. The planet would merely recieve a minor surface peppering.

Now zero-point energy bombs are a different kettle of fish, once they make one of those babies, it's time to look round for a new planet.

The bombs dropped on Japan were arounf 30,000 tons of TNT equivalent, modern high-yield warheads are up to 2.5 million tons of TNT, it is rumoured that the Russians built a ten million ton device. But the energy in one Hurricane would dwarf even that device.

Yes but if you survive a Hurricane, you survive, a nuke on the other hand could leave you with a nice 'glow in the dark' TM tan.

And a hurricane doesnt release all its energie in 0.2 seconds

Iirc we didn't lose a war against the "Americans" we "lost" a war against "British Settlers". So technically, we didn't lose.

Agree, if anything could be more scary than the way the nuke looks when it explodes, the sheer power of it, or what it would be like to be caught in the explosion. It would be what would happen to you if you were within 10 miles outside of the blast radius.

No, because the French never really did fuck all for them, they only really helped them after they had the war in the bag ..iirc oO

Don't think you'd feel a thing tbh, you'd be dead before..parts of you hit the ground. oO

I'm talking about the incredibly high dosages of radiation you would have your body battered with, slow painful death. Personally I'd rather have a nuke pushed down my throat and detonated than die by radiation.

Erm.. We gave them back? As far as I know, only North America was lost due to us losing a war, the rest were gave back at our own will.

When they were first testing the nukes on those little islands in the pacific or in the water or wherever, they supposedly didn't know about the radiation and fallout the nuke would release. The guy's watching it had no protective clothing whatsoever and the fallout got all over their skin and anywhere it wanted to really, lungs etc. Not a nice thought what happened to those guys afterwards.
No, it's not a nice thought. You bring this up why?

I fail to see the relevance of that; obviously I'd sooner see war with conventional weaponry than with a massive exchange of nukes. Your point?

(edit: in case you can't read, my point was that the former is massively likely compared to the second, or even any variation on the second)

Yeah, well a nuke being stolen is.... vaguely plausible I guess. Not from America, France, Russia or so on though - it'd have to be primitive, self-developed technology in a less used-to-having-nukes country.
As to the twin towers comment, lol, where's the bloody comparison please?
Security around passenger aircraft has always been pretty damn lax. Security around nuclear missle silos is not lax. Launching nuclear missiles having broken into a silo would still be an incredibly, incredibly complex problem. Physically removing an ICBM would also be a lot harder than you might think; getting it out of the country, untraced would be verging on the impossible.
One does not just sneak into a nuclear compound with a pair of wire clippers, run off with an armed ICBM warhead under your arm, then set it on the ground pointing vaguely at the right continent and light the fuse.

The aircraft hijacking that ended with the WTC disaster was demonstrative of one thing, and that thing is not that we are overconfident in our security. It is that where security around potential weapons is lax, it will be exploited. Fact is they hijacked passenger jets, not nukes.


edit: lax Russian security regarding nukes was news a decade ago, not now.

edit :i doubt you know much about security around nuclear silos or the state of corruption. Hell, due to "patriotism" i doubt any of the "old timer commies" would object to a nuke being sold with a purpose to teach "the x arch enemy" a lesson.

So im guessing this is why Americans pay a shitload of money <still>, this is why a "certain company" will be sending yet more CCTV and Access Control equipment " somewhere" , and im guessing that is why this November the Defense Minister of RF will be conducting a review of several strategic objects in Kamchatka. Its not news, its reality.

<Warning! Strong scene described>

I once visited a website dedicated to the”anniversary” of the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. There were a lot of witness’ accounts and drawings of the events, and I can quite honestly say that it’s the most gruesome and grotesque crime against humanity ever committed. The suffering that the civilian population (they were after all cities not military targets) was beyond anything I’ve ever heard… It took people everything from hours to days and weeks before they finally could die. It was impossible to save them, but even so volunteers went in to ease the suffering paying the ultimate sacrifice, dying themselves of the radiation. Scenes like dying people by the scores trying to quench their thirst and cool their burns (half mad from pain) from a water tank where dead people floated, pregnant women and children included. People who went deranged because of swelling of the brain… Cannibalism…

The reasons for the bomb was pure terrorism (induce fear/terror into the public of the nation), there were no significant military targets in either cities. This is recent history, in the grand scheme of things 50 years is NOTHING. There were no one punished for war crimes and the nuclear program (and the view that it was a viable weapon) if anything picked up. Humanity is indeed mad, and fear what the “civilized” world (USA) is capable of doing. Terrorism is only bad when it happens to you m’kay....

Jesus Christ, somebody get this man some anger management classes. Seriously, nobody is forcing you to read my posts, if you don't like them just skip to the next one, I really don't know why you are being so hostile to me all the time but just stop it now, please. I'm not going to lower myself into a flame war with you so stop quoting my posts and giving your fucking useless comments.
