Well we the tax payer pays for the nuclear arm, im happy to pay for it provided its used correctly and not used in a first strike role or by any other country who feels like using us.
today only these countries have nukes:
China 1 SSBN there was 2 but one sank in the yellow sea and they also have an SSB golf
France 4 SSBN's
Britian 4 SSBN's
Russia 16 SSBN's (although only 12 are thought to be availible compaired to 1980's 91 SSBN's)
America 14 SSBN's
All that together couldnt clear the face of the earth consider the shock wave which is the most distructive part of the bomb, it has to pass man made and natural obsticles and each time it hits these the sock wave will slow down and become less powerful the further it goes.
The media keeps saying a nuke will level a city well id doubt it 3 or 4 i think for a city like london and then yeah ok maybe flat but not just one unless its detonated mid air and not ground zero.
