I agree, everyone thinks the nuke is the ultimate weapon when in fact it is not. Nukes even the big ones only totally destroy one city even if they can send shock-waves that shatter glass 1000 miles away. There are modern traditional bombs that have just as much 1st level destruction without being dicks and ruining the earth at the same time.
Funny that this does not get as much coverage as 1 person being shot in other places. More unacceptable is the fact that 10's of millions die each year and 20+% of the news covers the tiny little bits of death and call it tragedy while ignoring the other 50 million. It reminds me of a magician saying look over here.
