they release exponentially significantly less than the weapons we use today, yet exponentially more than the biggest bomb we would have been able to drop in world war ii. in fact a 2000 bomb dropped by an american bomb yields 2000 pounds of explosive force. an atomic weapon is going to yield in kilotons of detonated force. what would a kiloton be? 1000 tons. you know metric already? yes, 1000 times. 13,000 tons of tnt in a single bomb. 21 kilotons on nagasaki from a single bomb. maybe it is not purely the force of the destruction of the event, but the force that the threat of a single bomb that only we possess is what is most important. it is hard to say. whatever the case, we know that nagasaki is also destroyed. thousands and thousands killed in the short term, by blast, by heat, by being vaporized. and many more killed by radiation. in fact, many people would argue there are still being killed to this day. the japanese get the picture. they understand our threat which is we will use these bombs on your cities until you surrender. how many bombs did we have left in reserve to drop on j
