Well, I was raised in Nagaski, so I know a little of the bombing’s history!

Those can’t be compared, they’re different units of measurement. One is a unit of explosive power, the other is a volume of hot air.

All aboard the nope train.

Knowing the 65+ year history behind the current standoff situation fairly well I have a hard time envisioning a scenario where the korea’s are reunified that doesn’t involve an enormous amounts of death and destruction.

Nope. Not even close. Congrats on being a tool, though. How’s it working out for you? Given how often you’re on here repeating tired lies of the rich and dishonest/stupid, I imagine you’re not working at all.
