Question: Why do you bury Muslim ten feet deep?

Answer: Because down deep they’re good people.

Has the UN issued a resolution calling on Israel to “show restaint”?

Well, I do think some of it is CGI. I’ve seen youtube videos of Russian aircraft being shot down that were actually CGI.

By today’s standards, them’s just tactical nukes. If you dropped one on the University of washington, it wouldn’t even break windows in downtown Seattle.

Yeah. It was not money well spent...
It lost political momentum. Now they’ll try to use this one to get us into a hot war. Sadly, I suspect this one may succeed, on a biblical level.

Those bombs killed people then and they’ll do it again today.

I wouldn’t want to be in downtown Seattle if Little Boy or Fat Man showed up.

Though I agree, how deadly those small bombs are very much depends on where you are when they happen. I was only pointing out that those bombs were not as big as people think. The problem was they were dropped on paper cities. Well, the heat had a negative impact on the people within that range as well.

I suspect people farther away would have been blinded if they were staring right at it.

Within a mile of the blast, yes people who looking at the light were blinded though most it was only temporary. More were injured by flying debris. Interestingly though there's almost no lingering radiation in either Hiroshima or Nagasaki as it seemed to have dissipated fairly quickly. Imagine the same two bombs being dropped say, on Times Square NYC or Los Angeles at rush hour. It would be a nightmare.
