  1. 1) 7:37 Nope. Hiroshima was 20kt. None of real modern nukes have 20mt yield. Most are hundred kts at max, only 10-20 times more powerful. Also should be remembered that in dense urban landscape damage decreases with range as cubic function. 2)Nuclear weapons in general are overrated. Yes, they are powerful, but they won't lead to fall of civilization. And tactical nukes are much more dangerous to civilian population than strategic ones. 3)11:20 Getting rid of nuclear weapons is an idiotic idea. Firstly, it diminishes your capabilities to inflict damage on enemy military forces and industrial objects. Secondly, it encourages smaller countries like Iran, North Korea and Venesuela to ramp up the production of their nukes to as high as possible level to give them an edge over more powerful countries, same as it happenned with limiting the amount of dreadnoughts. Thirdly, nuclear weapons work as the deterrent from world war, at least currently.
