I'd buy 165 people who claimed to survive both bombs. I'd need robust proof to believe they were under both bombs.
When I was stationed in Japan I witnessed a ceremony where another name was added to the rolls of victims of the bombs. The lady had died in an auto accident a few days earlier.

Like a full blown invasion with tactical nukes wouldn't provoke a response from NATO, with an up ratchet just for fun.

He was supposed to have participated in the first command post exercise after his election.
Unfortunately some numpty shot him and he was still recovering when it happened.
As a result his participation was rescheduled for Abler Archer '83 which coincided with the timeframe for the Pershing II deployment.
The Soviets put 2 and 2 together and came up with 5.

It would have been nice if Putin had continued with a policy of disarmament.
Hadn't launched an invasion of Ukraine, or set out to dominate the Black Sea...
Sometimes it seems every world leader has gone off the deep end in the last few years.
