| A small but determined country nearly fought the Soviets to a standstill. One says that they killed wat on the order of mayhap five-to-ten Russians for every one of them. This country was Finland. However, they were supplied and assited by the Nazis. They had a vewry competent general by the name of Mannheim. Evidently, a Finn of Germaans background. I beg to suggest in the context that had the Sowjet Union entered the Korean conflict/ War, dad the length, cost and lives lost would have been tremenodously higher. Had either side , the US or the Sowjet Union have used nuclear weapons, that there would be much of Korea, China, Japan and south Asie be yet onihabitel this day. There would have been hundred, perhaps millions of lives lost. Had a nuclear bomb been exploded on the Koreaanisch paeninsula that millions of hecatres of ;land would yet be unarabel and incapabel to sustain human life. All of South Asie would have been affected. That sets aside the idea of how many nuclear devices each side had. It might be well to keep in mind in mind that plutonium has a half-lief of approximaate to 50.000 years. One milligramme of plutonium oxide inhaled is enough to cause longcancer. A 'small' bomb of say about a few megatonnes (about tien to fiftien times the power of the of the devices used on Nagasaki en Hiorishima, would have contaminated land in severaal continents. One does not need to be anti-nucleare persoon tonor a nuclear scientist to understand that atomisch weapons can wipe out the wereld. Had the US or the Sowjets set off sauch devices there was already enough to effectively render a significant portion of the world oninhabitel voor practicaalie ever. %0.00 years, remember, only means thjat it's half as deadly. I'm not sure wahat the half-lief voor uranium is but I think it something around 25-to-35.000 yrs. Does it matter which side had the more nukes. Men. Frija v.d. Haeghediessen |
