Since when did DU-folk give a @#$% about definitions? Any definition that contradicts what they want to believe is therefore Racist, sexist, homophobic, Islamophobic, and Everything-Else-Phobic. By definition.

Survey says:

Quote
Weapon of mass destruction (WMD), weapon with the capacity to inflict death and destruction on such a massive scale and so indiscriminately that its very presence in the hands of a hostile power can be considered a grievous threat. Modern weapons of mass destruction are either nuclear, biological, or chemical weapons—frequently referred to collectively as NBC weapons. See nuclear weapon, chemical warfare, biological warfare.

https://www.britannica.com/technology/weapon-of-mass-destruction

The answer:  No.

Took me all of 20 seconds to do that dummie.  Go back to your Russians-hacked-the-election meme cause you suck at the WMD meme.

I'm having trouble understanding why the primitives are so upset about Mother.

Apparently Mom has the explosive force--according to Google--of 11 tons of TNT.

Uh.....the first primitive atomic bomb back in 1945 had the explosive force of 20,000 tons of TNT.

Now, I wouldn't want Mom to be dropped on me, but still, it seems to me Mom's a tiny little firecracker compared with any nuclear bomb.

So how come the primitives seem more concerned about Mom, than they are about Communist Korea's nuclear weapons?

Because Trump dropped it and demonstrated Obama's ineffectiveness. Oh! And Trump dropped it.

Also, remember that to the primitives, it doesn't matter what it is; all that counts is who did it.

Since the primitives like the fat kid and loathe the president, the fat kid could blow up the world and it wouldn't bother the primitives, whereas if President Trump blew a hole through a cheap nose-tissue, the primitives'd have a cow.

Speaking of sublime...it was the democrat party (with their ATF) that declared a 2 liter Coke container half filled with Dry Ice (CO2) and left hanging in a tree well above casual passerby's a Destructive Device.

Sounds like it depends on what their definition of "mass" is.

Maximum payload of B52 with plain old dumb iron bombs:  70,000 pounds.  One MOAB: 21,000 pounds.

The MOAB isn't even close to the area destruction resulting from a single Buff loaded with 500 pounders delivering a 'Rain of steel.'  The MOAB is able to do a lot deeper and more devastating damage right on its point of impact (Or directly under it for an airburst) and so is much more effective on an extensive heavily hardened target...like a cave complex full of assholes who need to die.

Weapon of mass destruction?  GTFO.

The MOAB isn't even close to the area destruction resulting from a single Buff loaded with 500 pounders delivering a 'Rain of steel.'

And the 'Arc Light' was three BUFFs flying in close formation, dropping all of their payloads at the same time.  If you were in that 400m x 1000m (give or take) area, you died.  No question.  No matter whether you were mammal, reptile, or plant matter.

Chernobyl and Fukushima weren't nuclear bombs, but they illustrate the fact that radiation can persist for years. There's an area off Sweden in the Baltic Sea that is off-limits for fishing, due to a sunken ship that had been loaded with mustard gas shells near the end of WW2.
