I hope it destroys whatever studio Coldplay records their "music" and only the studio that Coldplay records their "music".

A lot of shady shit happens in London.

The Germans wanted to actually do that at the end of WWII, but were incapable of doing so.

I read on Quora about a post someone made, based on [now-declassified] documents that the Germans actually had achieved making an atomic warhead before America did, but due to the constant bombing of their factories, they were incapable of building a means to launch it and have it fly to their chosen destination. London and many cities along the East Coast of America (no doubt Washington D.C. was on that list) were their intended targets, had the Nazis been able to build a flight-capable nuclear warhead. In fact, if they weren't able to build a long-distance rocket to carry the nukes, they would have just hit London instead.

The thing was, by the mid-1940s, many of Germany's leaders (save for Hitler) saw the writing on the wall and held back on launching their nuke at all, because they knew that if they used their nukes on anybody, the terms of surrender would not be as kind as what they ended up getting. It's one reason Germany was allowed to be rebuilt (at least on the western side of the country), the Nazi leaders hanged at Nuremberg, and the people deprogrammed. If they had done the unthinkable and nuked London, Germany would have been razed to the ground, and few people would have been left alive, even those who had nothing to do with the camps and the politics going on.

London is no longer a White city so I'm fine with it being nuked.

You have got to love the russians, promoting this dumb stuff. The first thing is Russia would take out most of the UK with various targets, they wouldn't just nuke London and wait to see what happens. In order to have victory, they would have to take out our nuke subs as well, because if they don't, we would destory most of their country with our own strike back.
