those where the 60's. if we could go from flying the first plane to flying a rocket ship to the moon after 60 years, i think we are sure to be able to build a bomb which could go over 1 000 mega tons in present.
but there isn't actual need for it since the nukes we have are enough.
lets say there are 20 000 of them. let's be hopeful and say 10% only hit. 200 nukes that would hit all the major cities where 50% of world's population is. then comes fallout and gets another 20% of people. but wait - there is more. our nuclear reactors. well over 500 of them. thy are bound to be hit or without anyone to oversee them - have a meltdown. we all know what that did. so. 80% dead already, 15% will die from hunger, poisons, riots since no government will be left. rest of the 5% (and that is IF there are still some left) will most likely go mad and kill each other.
also. humans are a creative bunch. lets shield our nukes with poisonous gas, so when they are shot down, the gas will leak out and make everyone bleed from their eyes. so the opposite side thinks twice which would be the better action - suffer a nuke or some awful gas.

let's just say. if you want a war (and actually win, not destroy the world), your only option is to go against 3rd world country (like now) and hope they don't have hidden nukes.
