Well, the area not being made radio active is a big plus in my books.

But yeah they can make big blasts. How much the big blasts are faked I don't know but I would assume they can make some pretty big blasts. Certainly we have seen some recently, supposedly accidents, at factories but who would know?

Personally I think they now have much better weapons than nukes. I think they know how to drive storms and increase them and make huge Earthquakes which of course make better weapons because although they cause massive damage they have deniability. "What, we made an Earthquake? Don't so silly, only nature can do that." Yeah right.

I am still comforted however that the radio active crap is mostly just that, crap.
