Neil DeGrasse Tyson needs to shut the fuck up.

He has NO idea what the fuck he's talking about.

I rub my US Army trained dick all over his face on this one.

Correct me if I'm wrong because I just googled this shit, but apparently "tactical nuke" means under 50 kilotons. Little boy and Fat man weren't even that much combined if I'm reading correctly.

Is the gay science nigger as retarded as I'm understanding, or did google lie to me?

Wait, holy shit, Neil DeGreasy made a statement like  that about nuclear weapons?

And this man is typically regarded as intelligent?

Da fuq?

Tyson is a midwit's idea of a smart person. He's not stupid, per se, but he vastly overestimates how smart he is, to the point that he can't stay in his own lane.

It's better to admit you don't have all the answers, rather than spew bullshit in an attempt to sound smart.

This is a big part of why I try to keep my own comments on to politics and let other people go on about things like modern military equipment. Too easy when you are well-versed in one thing to think your opinion even matters on anything else.

Tyson is a "media intellectual." That's to say, he's not an actual intellectual, but a guy who gets paraded around in media outlets and pop culture whenever people need an intellectual figure that's recognizable.

And to be fair, that's not necessarily a bad thing. You need a good communicator when teaching things like astrophysics, someone who won't lose the audience in jargon and minutia.

Where this has gone wrong is that euphoric fedoras have mistaken message for messenger, and now put Tyson on a pedestal as infallible.

You see, that depends on what the definition of "recession" is.

Carl Sagan was an advisor in the making of Threads. And Tyson is supposed to be his spiritual successor.

Yeah, pardon me for being anti-intellectual. The line between "expert" and "paid whore" gets more blurred by the day. They make it look like Pol Pot had a point.

Yeah, although for obvious reasons I find his killing of people for wearing glasses more than a bit unreasonable.

He is as retarded as you are understanding. During the 1950's the US was sticking Little Boy-yield (15 kt or so) nuclear warheads on our fighter-bombers as "tactical" weapons to use against Soviet ground forces, not city-killing. Fast forwards to the 1980's and yield and weight only improved. When Donnie Trump (reportedly) threatened to nuke Moscow if Putin did anything stupid a single F-35 could have turned that whole city to rubble with just some "tactical" warheads.

Guys you don't understand - a tactical nuclear blast wouldn't cause massive clouds of fallout! It would only give you a couple lifetimes of radiation and leukemia if you weren't instantly vaporized. It's less harmful than the covid vaccine

In my lifetime I have seen the left go from anti-war-in-the-middle-east to masturbating at the thought of leaving city sized craters across Russia. I'm not even that fucking old Jesus Christ.

Hell, back in 2016 they were screaming about how Trump was going to kick off WW3 and we were all going to die horribly.

Now they're fapping at the thought of it.

Here's a fun thing to observe through history. Whichever political faction is the one most in power culturally is always the one most pro-war.

Not sure how alive Parler even is at this point, but here is some odd definitely unrelated factors that could potentially tie the loose ends together:

1. Kanye West has been seen a lot with Candace Owens (a conservative influencer)
2. Candace Owens is married to George Farmer
3. George Farmer is the CEO of Parler

So is Kanye fucking Candace? Cause I'm getting that vibe. He talks all christian but....

Like usual, Google is wrong as fuck.

Tactical nuclear weapons are weapons that can be deployed for tactical targets and objectives. 90% of the time it's mobile delivery systems.

Artillery. Tank fired. Missile launched.

The Hawk missile, the M1A1, any 8" or 155mm gun.

Depending on which shell and which series, the yield could be up to 250kt.

To be classified as a "tactical nuclear weapon" it had NOTHING to do with yield and everything to do with its deployment and delivery method, as well as its objective.

Tactical nukes delivered via tank or shoulder fired launcher were seen as a way to bust up Soviet tank assaults. As we assumed the Soviets were fielding the same kind of armor we were, since too many times armor advances, no matter how classified, were leaked before Congressional approval was obtained, the yield and design went up.

But what the fuck would I know, compared to the Great Neil deGrasse Tyson, it was only my fucking life for a goddamn decade.
