On October 30, 1961, at the peak of the Cold War, Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev sent an unmistakable warning to the West by testing the most powerful weapon mankind had ever seen. The Tsar Bomba was 2000 times more powerful than the American bomb dropped on Nagasaki and 10 times the total firepower used in the entire Second World War.
Can the course of the war in Ukraine today force Russia to resort to its deadly nuclear weapons? Will Putin use the world’s largest nuclear bomb if tensions with the West over Ukraine escalate?

I am typing this the help of my grandson, Mike. I am 96 now. My father was a WW I veteran. He used to often say about the ingenuity and the rapid pace at which man is working to destroy himself. I witnessed this during WW II and miserably, I am seeing the ingenuity and the pace again.

Russia has gone to great lengths to avoid conflict! Unlike the US that seems to seek it out!

My grandmother was born in1889. She told me about nature and the world changed dramatically after the hundreds of hydrogen bomb tests. She would cry saying how that I would never know how beautiful the world was. The world is broken and those idiots did it.

The Tsar Bomba was originally 100 megatons, but Russian scientist were afraid that the nuclear chain-reaction might not stop, so it was lowered to 50 megatons. The shock wave circled the earth twice.

I remember about Einstein's quote about the threat of Nuclear war, "I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones". It will bring us to the next Stone age or Ice age if do not learn from our history's darkest past
