Okay but the yield of the nuke used in Japan was around 15,000 tons whereas modern Nukes can go over 800,000 tons hope you see the difference that gives an idea of the damage modern Nukes can cause bearing in mind some Nukes go with multiple warhhead
How do u plan to deliver 800,000 tons of nuke into enemy territory? lets start from there
in case you don't know, an aircraft carrier is about 40,000 tons. So u want to fire 20times aircraft carrier of nuke into Russia? With what means?

See eh it's not really about how massive a country is when it comes to nuclear war. Or whether part of a country will be destroyed or not but the fallout that's aftermath may render the whole USA or RUSSIA inhabitle. Even if Russia is massive England Germany and France are nuclear power it's not about the size of ur country. It can wreck a devastating effect to a continent or even the whole world if a nuclear war breaks out . My views
And mind you possession of nuclear weapon is for deterrent no country will be that crazy to use it Cox of the consequences except Islamic countries. The day Islamic countries start to have nuclear weapon then say good bye to the world
As if america has not used nukes in japan. size of country matters. not even all of nagasaki was destroyed or died

Britain and France will be completely obliterated, some of america might remain cos its a massive country. some of russia will definitely remain but western gains for the last 1000yrs will be comprehensively destroyed. So, is that the place they want their pride, arrogance and selfish wickedness to end them in? Its their call to make.

Israel does not depend on any country hopelessly. US also depends on Israel for innovation. Do you know Google, Tesla, Meta, etc have innovation centers in Israel? No country is completely independent of another. Even US and Russia depends on each other on some aspects.

Israel is greater than all muslim countries put together.
grin yea israels main export na farm products and its mostly to europe not to nigeria. the lenghth you will go to hype israel is tiring. israel is not known for agric impliments. cos even the D9 bulldozer they using in gaza right now, is from america. and its India supplying us drugs, not israel. i dont know of any israeli beverage in nigeria. name one na!
tesla can open innovation center in israel, does not mean israel is innovative or highly tech. its just simply absurd reasoning. then from your own figures, the trade deficit between nigeria and israel is laughable. you probably do not realise how damning it is for israel that the balance of trade is 1:27 in favour of nigeria, who does not even produce anything and majorly a consumer economy?
america gives israel money every month, even before the war began. which kind of prosperous nation is a begger like israel? and now, america practically supplies israel with everything every single day. down to the missiles it needs for its iron dome, all come from america. and u say israel does not hopelessly depend on america? iran is not spoon feed like israel. iran started and completed its nuke program by itself, its missiles technology by itself, its drones, which even russia depends on, by itself. its 4th generation fighter jets, submarine, ships, all by himself, and you say israel is greater than all muslim country? you are a boaster, drunk on israeli falsehoods.
