lol no. It would not kill all of the US. At all. In any way. It would be 10000x smaller than Chicxulub. Which also did not instantly wipe off that large of an area.

It would not be great for the climate, but it is in absolutely no way a "world ending bomb".

Sure. I'm gonna believe you, a rando on the net, rather than my experience as a Navy Nuclear Power Program Electronics Technician Instructor.

Fuck off. You don't have any clue about what you are talking about.

rofl clown.

Even the most basic search results will prove you wrong by many orders of magnitude...

I can understand respecting the crazy scale of nukes. Though Earth is much bigger than your tiny brain could ever begin to fathom.
