      “well, you see, 99.9% of Russia’s nukes don’t work,. of course all our nukes work, but we don’t consider Russians to be ‘people’ so they aren’t added to the count”

      A single prehistoric nuclear bomb developed by nomads living in the steppes of the North American subcontinent killed over 100,000 people. What are these people on?

        If I had to guess, they assume all nukes will only hit other silos.

          I hate explaining jokes since it’s not funny, but
          \

          spoiler

          Steppe - Hanford site where the nuclear bomb was first created and tested is a steppe.
          Nomad - Scientists traveled from all over the country to the Hanford site and returned back months or years later, which is a nomadic migratory pattern.

          I’m just using words that colonizers use to describe native cultures in a description of the Manhattan Project. Quite accurately, in fact. That’s the joke haha…
