whether is reprehensible or not, it is the most effective killing machine ever made.

I guess outside of a computer game, I'm not sure what the point is of a pure mathematical observation. It ignores trump factors, like the ethical/moral reasoning behind NOT using nuclear weapons. Sure, the US has enough nukes to kill everyone in the world mathematically. Of what value is this statement when it ignores the realistic practicalities preventing the US from doing this?
