Not even close. In fact probably not enough so that you could even tell from earth with a telescope. To give you an idea of what it would take to destroy an entire planet consider the asteroid that killed off the dinosaurs.
It delivered the power of about 200 million nuclear bombs, which is on the order of 20,000 times the size of the US nuclear arsenal. That much energy only made a crater 112 miles in diameter, which if on Mars would probably not be big enough to see from Earth with even a powerful telescope, and that was 20,000 times more than the US could do.

No way, The US, or any other country, could not put one nuclear weapon on the surface of Mars in less than 6 months. To even have any kind of chance to blow up Mars the nukes would have to be placed deep in the planet approaching the core. And not just one nuke there would have to be millions of them. If you are talking about just devastating the surface of Mars, then several thousand nukes would do a good job of it. Now if you located the main Martian cities you could probably nuke them all within a year or two provided the Martians were not technologically advanced enough to should down the delivery vehicles.

do you mean blowing up mars as in physically separating the planet into pieces? The US has more nukes than any other country so we could nuke the surface beyond reason but destroying the planet mars would be like trying to blow the earth apart its just too big unless you managed to put them all in the core somehow and nuke em all at once or in a wave sequence. But just destroying evil martians would depend on their technology level and weapons and defenses just like on earth.

Hmmpphh...
Hey whoever u are listen to me !!!
It is POSSIBLE for human being to destroy the other planet.
But is is IMPOSSIBLE to be done.
That destruction bring a lot of negative effect. You know what,, if that / some planet is destructed it will splash out so many materials in so many different size. That could become meteor and chunck the nearest planet out. What a nightmare.
And also the wave could disturb the orbital cicle for the neares tplanet. It is lookly likes the armageddon.
And the most important.

doesn't this purely look like the plan from the starting up? This administration tightens financial disaster guidelines even as concurrently giving mastercard businesses the flexibility to bilk customers with interest price hikes and eliminating the shoppers recourse. The fed drops prices after a terror attack, many say became a pretend-flag journey, which activates those who had no business enterprise doing so into getting mortgages which they couldn't arise with the money for. Then an prolonged warfare depletes our treasury and devaules our forex which activates the fed to improve prices and adjustable mortgages which conveniently weren't regulated on the time unexpectedly start up defaulting everywhere in the rustic. client self belief erodes thrusting us into the first throes of a recession and our saviors the fed are going to comb in and sparkling up those type of issues they created contained in the first position, concurrently giving administration of our monetary equipment and equipment of credit to the non-public bankers who run the federal reserve. It took them virtually one hundred years to take administration of our usa yet i imagine that became the plan from the starting up and the founding of the federal reserve monetary corporation.

No. Not with today's technology.
It would take a long time to get there. plenty of time for evil Martians to detect it. If it did get there, it would make a huge crater on Mars. An asteroid would do more damage than all of the nuclear bombs from Earth.
An asteroid at 75,000 miles per hour, would unleash energy equivalent to 350,000 megatons of TNT, or eight million times the power of the Hiroshima bomb.

Nope. The US nuclear arsenal not only does not have the range to get to Mars, it also doesn't have the explosive power to either disintegrate the planet or even to cook every square kilometer of its surface. Blowing up about 10000 cities on Earth is about all it's good for.

the reason america is called the worlds only true super power is because it could do such a thing if it really wanted to though it would not probaly do that as it would rather do somthing that benfited america in the long run.
but to look at its power the Shock and Awe bombing campaign it did before its troop invasion was massive and scary but the truth was the wepons it used was its old stuff and that attack really just an excuse to use them up to make way for all the new bombs it now has.
if you want history the same thing was done in perl harbor where it destroyed its old navy to make way for the new navy.
YES i belive the conspericy on this one as my grandfather was on the battleship that mysteriously bypassed and went straight to australia with its secret cargo an air strip just before the attack.
there he met my grandmother and got married but thats another story.

I'm no expert but I believe destroying a planet could upset the gravitational orbit of the remaining planets in the universe, thus threatening life on the planet earth.
