While we're on the subject of nuclear weapons, America currently has the largest nuclear arsenal in the world, holding 6970 warheads.  There's also a list of the nuclear weapons the rest of the world has.  It's safe to say that we have enough nuclear weapons on this planet to obliterate all life on earth multiple times over.....  Yay..........  Here's a link to this uplifting info.....

I always found it funny that the leaders of these countries say they would never resort to nuclear warfare, yet they keep these weapons of mass destruction in reserve just in case.  Does this sound contradictory?  I think so.  Why would you hold onto something you never intend on using?  And why would you invest so much money into that thing you never intend on using???  These things aren't cheap!  Anyway I took an image on google of the Tsar Bomba which is the most powerful nuclear weapon ever detonated and constructed by the Russians.  I know it's not American but America isn't far behind regarding the destruction of any given bomb.  And the US has more of them!


So I did a woodcut of this nuclear bomb and I put a face on it.  It's minding its own business and it's saying the phrase "They'd never use me!  But... Um... Just in case they uh..... need to."  Here it is.




This size is A1 and I carved and printed it over a 2 day period.  While this started on a comment on what Trump could do with nuclear weapons, it finished on what anybody could do with them.  I don't think it's fair to pick on Trump and leave everyone else out when it comes to nuclear warfare.  This is why I chose not to link the image to any country in the end.
