The 10 Megaton yield is far larger than Hiroshima 15 kilotons. That's 10,000,000 tons of TNT compared with 15,000 tons of TNT equivalent. So a Ten Megaton nuclear device is on the order of being 667 times more powerful in destructive energy than Hiroshima's. It would leave a crater 175 feet deep and 700 feet wide in the ground. Everything not deeper than 175 feet would be instantly vaporized in a circle over 2 football fields wide. Basically the vaporization and annihilation of everything within the area of of two football stadiums down to 175 feet. Of course the instant incineration over a much wider area, and God knows the suffering imposed on those "surviving"the microwaving of human flesh. There would be no means of treating or healing, so the intense suffering that follows is immeasurebly painful and the fallout effects would be felt world wide. And we are staring down the barrel of such barbarity world wide. The ash-heaps of the wasteland will not even spare the cockroaches, just of the thought of this scenario sickens me to the marrow. How cavalierly the political chiefs and their henchmen, the Generals, toy with the idea as if there are "acceptable" body counts in a calamitous nuclear war! My advice, pray to be incinerated, you do not want to survive to witness the withering of mankind.

How did such an 'army' get across the border with impunity.

And how much Lithium does Ukraine control. How much oil is left in the desert?
