By 1946, the blast heat and radiation had killed around
74,000 in Nagasaki and 140,000 in Hiroshima. Of course years later many
were still dying of radiation
Here is an interesting fact that makes many exjws wish that Jehovah was true and that he was going to wipe out nuclear bombs soon.
A typical modern H-bomb has explosive power of 300,000 kilotons, about 20 times as much as the bombs used on Japan.
One bomb today could kill 2,800,000 INSTANTLY.
100 nuclear bombs could wipe out the United States population of 330 million INSTANTLY.
The rest would die off in less than a month in excruciating pain.
Considering that the USA population is not concentrated in just cities but spread out in farms also.
Russian arsenals which are bigger could be dropped over a city, and such a bomb like that can easily kill
500,000 people rapidly--in a matter of seconds. Several million more would die of radiation poisoning.
200 such bombs dropped over a range of cities
and spread out farms would kill something like 100,000,000 people (out of about 300,000,000)
and destroy almost all the infrastructure for energy (oil refineries,
power grids,...) communications, transportation, manufacturing,... The
resulting soot would probably cause cool dark weather, disrupting even
what farming could be carried out without fuel, fertilizers, etc.
Radiation sickness would be widespread. Probably most of the people not
killed in the initial strike would soon die.
Maybe bands of hunter-gatherers and small-scale cultivators would somehow survive. But it would be survival like millions of years ago----Cave men senerio.
This is one thing JWs are not concerned and lose sleep over. Because they believe with all their heart that Jehovah would never allow that to happen.
Yet he did allow it to happen in Japan.
Are Japanese people sub-creatures and we are not? And that's why Jehovah would never allow Nukes to hit America?
Just for calibration, the U.S. and Russia have between them some 18,000 nuclear warheads
