Yes but that would’ve been a LONG coastline boarder between the peninsula and mainland with Mexico to patrol.

EDIT: don’t get me wrong, I would LOVE for us to have Baja and we already should’ve had that long coastline of resort beachfront property. But we wouldn’t needed to annexed more of Mexico to secure its safety.

Modern day nuclear weapons have very little fallout, especially when air-bursted. Please see the Tsar bomb test, researchers were on the ground at the detonation site in less then 48 hours and the radiation levels were minimal.

Please educate yourself before you spout off on shit you know nothing about.

PS. you ain't as slick as you think editing your comment to get rid of that mention to my old as shit activity on GW.

For reference on what I'm about to say, my dad was one of the chief NBC (nuclear, biological, chemical) warfare specialists in the Marine Corps. He taught me a lot, and I read a few of his books on this subject matter.


Most nuclear fallout is created when the nuclear fireball mixes with the dirt on the ground, vaporizing it, and kicking it up into the atmosphere, where it's spread by the wind.


Radioactive materials are very heavy, though, and fall out of the sky quite rapidly. The farther away from detonation, the less radioactive fallout there will be. Furthermore, all modern nuclear warheads (fired by missile) are detonated above ground, to magnify the destruction of the blast wave, at heights variant upon the yield of the warhead. These above ground detonations mean the fireball doesn't interact with the ground, severely depressing the radioactivity downwind, in terms of longevity and magnitude. And, with these above ground detonations, almost all of the radioactivity of the byproducts is gone within 2 weeks.


Mexico City is roughly 400 miles away from the closest section of border to the U.S. (the southern tip of Texas). Even in the worst weather conditions possible, it would be extremely unlikely that any radioactive fallout would reach the U.S. from nuking Mexico City, and if any did, it would be negligible.
