  8. The problem is that the moment a country like Russia uses a nuke it risks exposing their ace card, that's the worst possible move and could risk destroying their nuclear deterrence so not likely they would ever use one unless they really at live of die moment. Also keep in mind that modern nuclear weapons are mostly small and so the damage is limited to about 1 mile square and another 2-3 miles of damage, more like a hurricane. That is still very bad against a city full of people but 1 mile is not going to destroy a city, for example Los Angeles is over 500 miles square. Just so we get some perspective. Also, the human body is able to deal with radiation pretty well since we are all blasted with it 24/7 from our environment and from space, officially a nuclear blast is safe after 24-48 hours that is the official range by most Governments but in reality as soon as fallout ends. The Human body is much more resilient then we give it credit. In the Chernobyl nuclear disaster only some 8 people died and that came after handling highly radioactive material which not much of that is left after a nuclear blast so in a way a nuke weapon is actually safer as the bad stuff is vaporized. A lot of nuclear fear mongering comes from the Russian TSAR bomb but that was more of an experiment and PR tool rather than a real weapon. It could never reach the USA as it is far too large and heavy to make it over the pacific ocean so it was more of a threat against Europe but even then it's very impractical and would likely easily get shot down by the huge number of fast fighter jets that Europe has which are far better than anything Russia has.

  12. What a total nonsense video. #1 Any country that uses a nuke risks exposing how weak nuclear weapons really are which could destroy their nuclear deterrence so you will not see Russia just go out and use one as not using one is more powerful by far than actually using one. #2 A modern Nuclear war heads have a number of nukes but each is pretty small and can only deal around 1km of serious damage and another 2-3km of various levels of lesser damage. The famous Russian Tsar bomb required many months of work trucking in pieces and building it on the spot, it was huge and was an experiment not a weapon. #3 The human body is actually very good at dealing with radiation, it takes a lot to do damage as by nature we are all exposed to radiation 24/7 from the earth and from space and yet we live a full life without radiation effects, humans are able to deal with it. This is why a nuclear blast is already safe to access within 24-48 hours for the general public but for Military in a war zone basically within minutes, once the blast and fallout is clear. #4 The death toll of nuclear weapons used against Japan were so high due to very high density of population and due to living in wooden structures in high density, a very particular urban set up in Japan of the time, a modern city is much less exposed and has fewer people per KM by far. When used against an open battlefield, a nuke is especially limited in it's potential which risks any country that uses one in exposing that nukes are not as powerful is people think
