What is the destructive capabilities of a modern nuclear weapon?
Modern nuclear weapons have such tremendous destructive capabilities that the existing arsenals could easily destroy all cities, all human life, and possibly all other life on Earth as well, as a result of the high level of radioactivity which would follow the actual explosions.
How many times can the world be destroyed by nuclear weapons?
As stated, the question is overly obvious; the world can be destroyed only once because once it is destroyed, there is nothing left to be destroyed, right? How many times could the same ceramic dish be shattered? More than once, but only if you are willing to glue it together again, and if the whole world were to be shattered, there would be no one left to glue it together again (unless you are expecting aliens from outer space to take an interest). However, you might have been thinking of the principle of overkill, that the nuclear arsenals of the world contain more weapons than would be needed to destroy the entire world. At a rough guess, the total inventory of nuclear weapons in the world is sufficient to destroy a dozen worlds at least (if we had a means of getting to other worlds, of course). But the Earth can be destroyed only once.

How did the USSR react to the explosion of their first atomic bomb?
Roosevelt was a bit too open about the general concept of the atomic bomb. Stalin took in everything he heard and soon Russia or the Soviet Union had nuclear weapons also, making the US and the Soviet Union the two big world superpowers, with stockpiles of nuclear weapons that could destroy the Earth. I'm sure the Soviet Union believed at the time that since they were developing their own nuclear weapons, they weren't all that alarmed. To this day, after the Soviet Union crumbled, no one knows where some warheads have gone. It was easy for a terrorist to snatch a nuclear bomb or two from the unguarded Soviet stockpiles abandoned when the Soviet Union became no more.

Does China have the capability of sending a nuclear weapon to the USA?
Yes. All countries with nuclear weaponry do, allies and enemies alike. Not just from land-based silos, but nuclear submarines can launch nuclear warheads from anywhere in the world's oceans.Nuclear weapons are not an offensive weapon, they are more or less a defensive weapon.Having nuclear weapons is a warning to your enemies. "We have nuclear weapons too, so if you drop a nuclear bomb on us, we can do the same to you".The only time they have been used as an offensive weapon is against Japan in World War Two. Nowadays they are just a method of defence, a psychological warning aimed at other countries with nuclear weaponry.However, other than a national defence method, nuclear weapons can also be used as a planetary defence method, to defend the Earth from asteroids on a crash-course with us. A multi-national effort can be put together amongst nuclear-ready nations to destroy the asteroid before it collides with Earth and wipes out all life.
