Can a nuclear bomb cause an Apocalypse?

No, there aren't enough countries with nuclear warheads to cause an apocalypse and no country even matches up to the United States nuclear bombs besides Russia and they have nukes from the 1960 so they don't even really pose a threat because they probably won't even work. Honestly though you don't have to work because if a nuke was fired the U.S. would stop take care of it. I am not saying that were almighty but we are the world SUPERPOWER! and we take of stuff like that. Thats why Iran won't wipe Israel of the map because they know they would be screwed like wise with Israel.


What if the atomic bomb did not work?

Can a nuke destroy a country?

Yes. 70,000 people were instantly killed at Hiroshima. Another 70,000 at Nagasaki, 3 days later. Nukes can easily wipe away big islands. Basically, nuclear bombs make extremely powerful reactions that release TONS of energy and they could easily wipe away A LOT of land.


How many nuclear bombs are there?

Russia, about 3100US, about 3000All other countries with nuclear weapons, less than 1000 totalThere is no precise answer. America is supposed to have 5000 ready for use at any time, but there are entire nations who don't disclose complete numbers or don't admit nuclear capability for tactical reasons, so any number spat out for how many there are in the world is nieve and simply not based on the reality of the world's political situation. America for instance could have many more, or many less, as nobody is going to be gambling against them to find out by starting a nuclear war we'll probably never know. Enough to wipe out all life on this planet many times over, and that's just one nation. According to one scource, their are 23,300.

How many nuclear missiles would it take to wipe out UK?

It is difficult to answer how many nuclear bombs it would take to destroy England due to the fact that there are a variety of different nukes. It would most likely take around a couple of dozen.


How would you feel if you knew there were enemy missile bases so close to the US?

Its called submarines. They're already there just outside of the 200 mile water border in international waters. Most people just don't care because we have a nuclear arsenal of our own that would punish anyone stupid enough to attack us. Its called a nuclear deterrent. If they wipe out North America, then our mobile nuclear submarines would wipe (the enemy) out.
