Also, “fun” fact: Sakharov himself, the man who would go on to be a dissident, west’s darling and a peace prize nominee, has suggested using the bomb in a torpedo to create tidal waves across US coast. He proposed it to navy Admiral (whose name escapes me for the moment), and the admiral was absolutely horrified at what he called ‘cannibalistic’ idea.

Gee! It’s almost like the USSR still gave a shit about the individual American people even though they hated their government!
