To launch that many would exhaust the international supply of cooking oil. How can we open the petroleum reserves? Priority launch for the rezident(sic) of a certain white building in DC?

You’re thinking too small here. Hit Vlad up for the spare Tsar Bomba he keeps at his dacha and detonate it in the depths of the DC subway system. See if you can send the whole rotten town on the same trip a certain manhole cover took, once upon a time …
John+M.
Jan 24 2022 at 1:12 am
Current theory is that the manhole cover was moving with such velocity that it vaporized in the upper atmosphere, like a meteor would during entry, since they can’t find anything in the possible orbit it would have established.
The problem with doing that to DC is, all that vaporized B.S. would have to affect the Ozone Layer…

After so many Arkancides and Benghazi and more, I would take no action against it. I have no duty to protect.
Unshielded re-entry would sterilize the payloads in fire. Should be no problem.

The perfect preparation – the LN2 would turn all the liquids in their bodies to ice, and frozen liquids dropped into boiling oil is causing Sam’s launches.

Just a plug for Andy Weir’s book, ‘The Martian.’ Any book that starts off, “I’m pretty much fucked,” is okay by me. It is an excellent read and gives the reader chapter and verse on what surviving on Mars is like.
BTW, avoid the movie.
Something not discussed is all the blather about ‘life on Mars.’ We know there is frozen water there (polar caps anyone?). What no one talks about is what kind of organisms might lurk in the water and the quote from WO Ripley in ‘Aliens,’ IMHO, one of the best Sci-Fi films ever, applies;
“God damn it, that’s not all! Because if one of those things gets down here then that will be all! Then all this – this bullshit that you think is so important, you can just kiss all that goodbye!”
Be afraid, be very afraid…

On a more serious note… that Tonga explosion was probably augmented by water intrusion into the vent. I’ve see estimates of 53kft plume heights.
The propulsion mechanism is similar to Sam’s ballistic and sub-orbital turkey flinging.

They’ve rated the explosion at around 6Mt yield.
