Fat man was the "big" one and it was 22 kiloton yield...

A modern ICBM from American subs is 455 kilotons, Russian icbms (if they work) are around 800 kilotons.

There are zero scenarios where just a single ICBM is launched, but even if America just launched one and no one else retaliated...

That's well over 10x what was dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined.

These idiots think a M80 is the same as a stick of dynamite...
