Yet another Internet PhD.I'm curious if Conservatives truly understand the power of a Nuclear weapon, honestly.
Ok, so for this thread a poll to have fun. Select your partisan leaning (right or left, where right is Conservative left is Liberal), and whether you think Nuclear Weapons are close to MOAB in strength or much stronger.
For definitions, consider Hiroshima sized bomb in Kilotons when comparing to a MOAB.
If you want physical comparisons: GBU-43/B MOAB - Wikipedia
The blast yield of a MOAB is approximately 11 tons of TNT.
The blast yield of a Hiroshima's bomb is approximately 20KT.
Making a small yield Nuclear Bomb like Hiroshima about 1,818x more powerful than a MOAB.
I presume there are various factors are to why one would employ one or the other.
Liberals don't even approve of using a MOAB on ISIS.
I didn't ask about the reasons of their use and deployment, it's a simple question really. People conceptualize things vis-a-vis other things.
I have a feeling Conservatives think MOABs are about as powerful as small Nuclear Bombs.
Not because they think the MOAB is so powerful, but because they think Nuclear Bombs aren't as powerful as they really are.
This paradigm means Conservatives are more willing to use Nukes, not realizing that even North Korea's Nuke is powerful enough to completely wipe out an American city and tens of millions of Americans in one hit.
I have a feeling Conservatives think MOABs are about as powerful as small Nuclear Bombs.
I have a feeling you're an idiot.
