Go here and type in your zip code to see what a puny 10 kiloton nuke can do.

Yeah the 92130 area code is gigantic yet for some reason my moms house is in the red zone.

Creepy.

Yes I want to bet 10K against a nuclear attack in the next ten years.

That this kind of thing is inevitable is obvious. Just another reason that the proliferation of nuclear weapons is horrible. Russia coming out with a new bomb sickens me, although the "progress" can't come to an end now. But really the destruction of mankind was in the seed.

All of the admittedly compelling reasons for nuclear energy go out the window because of this type of thing.

Sorry if I made this political.

I do not believe that the Russians currently have anything near 100 megatons.

Sad truth is that we can't be protected, and if someone wants to hit us they will. So jsut go out and take all those negitive EV bets now 'cause there isn't going to be any long run.

Ive got 10k on no nukings.

NYC is the obvious target for terrorists. They aren't out to cripple our military since most of it is worthless against them anyway, so other targets are pretty much out of the question.

It's really hard to imagine getting through the next 10 years without a nuke getting in the hands of someone prepared to use it.

[Alobar]

see if he will take the 10K bet, I think if he says he will, then it's really scary.

[Topflight]

What do people speculate will be the result of a nuke going off. It seems like one going off would be the first link in a chain of nuclear events.

Are you guys trying to make me lose sleep at night?

[Alobar]

I dont see it starting a chain of nuclear strikes. We certainly wouldn't retaliate with nuclear force against a terrorist attack.

[mackthefork]

If you got evens on that bet, it would be the best bet you ever placed.

The real odds are probably 100/1 or more.
