This seems a bit generous to the US & USSR - remember when we nuked the bikini atoll many times? (oops sorry about your homeland)
- MichaelCollins 4y agoNot just Bikini Atoll; America nuked itself hundreds of times too, injuring and killing perhaps tens of thousands, maybe more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Downwinders https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Downwinders John Wayne is possibly one of the victims of this (inconclusive; besides getting nuked he also smoked like a chimney.)
