The Starfish Prime nuclear test knocked out streetlights 900 miles away; presumably today's nuclear weapons have the potential do to much worse.

Starfish Prime was a high-altitude nuclear test conducted by the United States, at Johnston Atoll on July 9, 1962.
Johnson Atoll is in the MIDDLE of the Pacific ocean. No idea what you're talking about, streetlights? 900 miles from the middle of that atoll is still in the middle of the Pacific ocean.
We will never know. It's like Lay's potato chips: "you can't eat just one". It will all be over very quickly. No one will be left to ponder "worse".
I'm concerned about what Russia is doing, but I don't have to speculate about clandestine activities. I just have to look at their aggression against their neighbors, allies which we are proving to be poor friends of. I just have to look at the disinformation campaign, this Smirnoff guy, and their attempts to undermine democracy around the world. Nukes in space is bad, but I don't need this additional evidence to know that Russia is our enemy, that Ukraine needs our help, and that the Republican party is in Putin's pocket.
