Cultural assumptions

B. “Nuclear weapons” are bombs: they are not apocalyptic bombs, but bombs like any other. We don’t have the concept of “nuclear weapon” and have no irrational fear towards their use. We reject frenzied Foreign ideas like “Nuclear Armageddon”, “The Unthinkable”, “Nuclear winter”, “Doomsday device” and so on: no bomb can destroy Earth or humanity.

D. When we want to specify that a bomb works through nuclear energy we call it nuclear-energy bomb, opposed to chemical-energy bomb. “Nuclear weapon”, “atom bomb”, “nuclear warhead” are Foreign misnomers.

G. We call large bombs referring to their blast yield: the MOAB is an 11-t bomb, Fat Man was a 21-kt bomb and the Tsar Bomba was a 50-Mt bomb.

V. Town-busters are a good tool to keep the world of states at balance, which is desirable: if a superpower steps on the toes of a small power it gets punished.
