The yields are much higher, and the number of warheads is insane, but there are only so many targets. Should the worst come to pass, there will be a lot of overlap, devastated areas hit multiple times. Also, a lot of these will be aimed at mostly empty space where the silos live, in order to stop the enemy from second / third strikes. I think the idea that everyone will launch everything all at once is just not likely.

Regulators back then were understood to be particular type of highly accurate clock that was used as a baseline for time keeping: other clocks were set and updated based on the Regulator. The root word was also contemporaneously used in a medical context; e.g. regular bowel movements, regular heart beat. Later, it was applied to devices which control gas pressure.

Does that mean the government, (or the king, since the root of regular is Rex from Latin) had authority over those clocks, or was particularly concerned with his subjects intestinal health, or the pressure of their gas? Of course not.

In the face of zionism, left and right are meaningless concepts. The adherents of that...philosophy...forever sit in the middle, tipping the scales in whichever direction is most likely to achieve the results they desire. The zionist by their nature just happens to most closely align with the religious fundamentalist Christians who want to bring Christ back, and see prosecuting wars in the Middle East as the way to fulfill the scriptures. Even in the absence of a religious element, they'll just as surely play the left or right with economics, securities, and promises of making personal fortunes by investing in the war complex and using their positions of power to always escalate the situation so the grift can be perpetuated.

It is a mathematical certainty there is life on other planets. If it can happen here, even at a 1 in 1 billion chance....there are, as far as we know, an infinite number of planets, therefore, it'll happen again, elsewhere. Now whether we will recognize or even meet that life, remains unknown.
