A conventional explosion is the rapid chemical conversion of an explosive to heat and gas creating a lot of pressure. In an open environment the pressure decreases at the rate of 1/radius^3, very quickly in other words.
A nuclear explosion is the rapid conversion of mass to heat and radiation, Apart from heating and expanding the air around the explosion no other pressure is created. This means a nuclear explosion is confined to a fairly small area, similar in effect to a lightening strike. Except for a direct hit a nuclear explosion is not significant and generally weaker than a conventional bomb.
Our masters know the truth behind nuclear weapons and use the threat of nuclear war to cow everyone into submission. They fear the masses realizing that there is nothing to fear.
I am not saying that nuclear power is fake, not at all. I have tickled the dragon. I also grew up near the NEA Site where they built the first nuclear reactor and all of the nuclear reactors the Navy uses. My best friends father was the director. I have also been to Bikini atoll and taken geiger counter measurements.
I am also not saying that the officials are lying about the nuclear bombs. The officials are very careful to use words like yield and TNT equivalents as metrics for mass to energy conversions.
They are lying by omission and implying something that isn't truthful. Yes an atomic bomb can release as much energy as a million tons of TNT but its effective blast radius is closer to a ton of TNT. And yes atomic bombs do have their uses like underwater where it vaporizes the water and pushes against the incompressible water with incredible force or as shaped charges to destroy hardened targets.
What they aren't are magical weapons that can destroy all life on earth if we don't bow down to our masters. I would take one of Russia's hypersonic missiles over an atomic bomb any day.
