There never ever has been an above-ground test of a modern enhanced hydrogen bomb in the USA
The Bikini Atoll test in the 1950s using 75 year old technology killed people via radiation over 130 miles away
Modern ICBMs carry several much more powerful warheads than that
Even a few of them would make life on earth a permanent hell like peak covid pandemic but forever
Even the "smallest" nuclear war would be one-and-we're-done event
Eventually some tyrant on their deathbed will do it though
Holy shit.
