* UmbralRaptor isn't worried about a nuclear war killing *everyone*
<UmbralRaptor> Casualties might even stay <100 million, depending on details.
<Pinkbeast> Eh, I think a good one would (the use of "good" here may be dubious)

<UmbralRaptor> US peaked at ~31000 warheads in the early-mid 1960s. USSR at 40000 in the mid to late 1980s.
<Iskierka> The numbers I saw were 40k vs 60k
<UmbralRaptor> Both stockpiles are below 5k at present,
<Pinkbeast> What about yield per warhead?
<UmbralRaptor> Peaked in the 1960s AIUI.
<Pinkbeast> Hm, well, that's encouraging, especially if Trump was lying about wanting a new arms race
<UmbralRaptor> Well, 70s for the Soviets,
<Pinkbeast> That's very interesting, thank you
<UmbralRaptor> Hm. Wikipedia page on historical weapon stockpiles and tests somewhat contradicts the initial graph, O think.
<UmbralRaptor> *I
<UmbralRaptor> Also, apparently half of all tests were by the US. (Like 40% more than USSR / Russia)

<Iskierka> russia can't afford to test all the time, they get it working and go with that
<UmbralRaptor> To be fair, neither US nor Russia has done any testing since the early 90s.

<Pinkbeast> That's being doing the rounds. I was at the Old Oak Common open day at the weekend and saw Oliver Cromwell, Tornado (GWR connection rather non-existent), King Edward II, the steam railmotor... apropos of nothing much

<UmbralRaptor> Maybe Trump thinks we don't have enough enemies, hence giving 4-15k people with military experience and 800k with extensive education legitimate grievances?
<UmbralRaptor> Plus however many are affected by the Muslim ban.

<UmbralRaptor> Somehow, I'd expect it to be written by Tillinghast or Francis Wayland Thurston >_>
<UmbralRaptor> Ellied: FWIW, the New York Post was very big on the whole WMD thing, and generally skews right.
<UmbralRaptor> (…Fox Newspaper?)
<Ellied> yeah, still
<Iskierka> ... apropos of nothing, I'm wondering how hard it would've been for old steam engines to have a brake lever that just selected a pressure and had valves adjust it to that level
<Iskierka> surely that should've been possible
