The USA has enough nukes the kill every single one of the humans 20 times over. Russia has the same amount. Combined they have enough to kill 40 times the population of Earth.
It is the cold war legacy.
To understand the consequence of it, consider just this:
A 2014 report published in the journal Earth's Future found that even a regional war of 100 nuclear detonations would produce 5 teragrams of black soot (that's 5,000,000,000 kg!) that would rise up to Earth's stratosphere and block sunlight. This would produce a sudden drop in global temperatures that could last longer than 25 years and temporarily destroy much of the Earth's protective ozone layer. This could also cause as much as an 80% increase in UV radiation on Earth's surface and destroy both land and sea-based ecosystems, potentially leading to global nuclear famine.
My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.
