If a Nuclear bomb were dropped....

Made me think of this Judi.

Being too much of a "realist" can be a bad thing. You'll start sustaining that reality at some point and inadvertently keep it going as it is.

Yes, thanks.

Fox wouldn't even report it. For the next week there would just be a 24 - hour loop of a monkey shitting into its own hand and flinging it at the wall, accompanied by Rise of The Valkyries as reinterpreted by Skrillex.

Yeah.  The U.S. would pick one country as scapegoat for "harboring terrorists" and go after them, provided they have oil.

That's what happened when a single building went down. I'd imagine a more extreme reaction from a whole city being destroyed.

Well given the only possible suspects are countries the US has allied with for years and Russia, it'd be scapegoat all the way. The idea of a private group developing usable nuclear weapons is fairly preposterous without state support (the so called dirty bomb, wrapping nuclear waste around a conventional explosive is a no go). Aum Shinryokyo (or whatever the fuck they called themselves) spent years to try and build a bomb and couldn't even with billions $ at their disposal and some competent physicists.
