@ai6yr So the only flaw is that they would most likely use a Minuteman III which would have a nominal yield of 300KT

@cvvhrn @ai6yr
Why would he only use one?

@cvvhrn @Dougfir It's bad to nuke the people who give you planes

@ai6yr @cvvhrn @Dougfir It's bad to nuke people.

@driusan @ai6yr @cvvhrn
And yet here we are.

@Dougfir @driusan @cvvhrn Well, I'd argue it's bad to nuke ANYTHING (plants, animals, planets, people, fungi, etc.)

@ai6yr @Dougfir @cvvhrn maybe squirrels or mosquittos.

@driusan @cvvhrn @Dougfir Ah, but even a tactical nuke at the squirrel hideout on the hill next to my house will make Los Angeles uninhabitable for a generations. (well, at least for those who don't want extra limbs)

@ai6yr @driusan @cvvhrn
Fun little story from back in the day.
We would have air raid drills in junior high in the 60s. One fine day, our teacher said don't bother climbing under the chairs. Between March AFB and Norton on the other side of Box Springs mountain, there was no way any of us would survive. While probably true, that was less comforting than he intended.
