[surelyiamlove]

Freaking ridiculous. This is so not needed. 🙄

[mikeemerson]

I had an atomic bomb built like that by 1957 called the hydrogen bomb

The USA already has the B83 nuclear bomb which is 60 times more powerful than the one dropped on Japan meaning that the Pentagon is asking for a new nuke that is only 24 times more powerful than the one dropped on Japan and is less than half as powerful as what they currently have.

Sure let's just turn the Earth into a Super Nova fire ball 🏀

At 24 times the power of the nukes dropped on Japan this nuke is less than half the power of the USA's B83 nuke which is 60 times more powerful than the nukes dropped on Japan. This means that the Pentagon is asking for less powerful nukes than they already have.

Aliens are still not impressed by murican bomb making

[CognizantApe]

Yeah but what about population density now, compared to back then?
The devastation could be way worse.

Russia years ago created a new ICBM to replace their older ICBMs, now US wanted to make new nukes, what's next

[Justdiggingaround]

We as in all should not have a weapon that kills everyone

[Mistr-Lahey]

Aren't impressing anyone. Russia has bigger more advanced nukes then they could ever fantasize about owning

People complaining about global warming/climate change. How bad would this be for earth itself? I'm sure the fallout from this would be just great for wildlife around the world.

[gary]

Will it be as powerful as the Russian Tsar Bomba? I doubt it! 😮

[Mclaren]

Why didn't he use the standard: kilotons

[Banishedsoulsofficial]

Why only 24x if its not a contenent buster its not big enough

[eoinfitzsimons]

Invest in military but not Ur own citizens taxing Americans so people around the world can use or tax money

[alialshidhani]
