How do you get rid of 90% of the world's population
It's not an easy task, especially if you want to not only be part of the remaining 10%, but to rule over them, too.
By 2030? 2050?

There aren't 36 possibilities, and pianka's idea seems to be the closest thing to the real deal in order to attain such objective

>Professor Pianka said the Earth as we know it will not survive without drastic measures. Then, and without presenting any data to justify this number, he asserted that the only feasible solution to saving the Earth is to reduce the population to 10 percent of the present number.
>He then showed solutions for reducing the world's population in the form of a slide depicting the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. War and famine would not do, he explained. Instead, disease offered the most efficient and fastest way to kill the billions that must soon die if the population crisis is to be solved.
>Pianka then displayed a slide showing rows of human skulls, one of which had red lights flashing from its eye sockets.
>AIDS is not an efficient killer, he explained, because it is too slow. His favorite candidate for eliminating 90 percent of the world's population is airborne Ebola (Ebola Reston), because it is both highly lethal and it kills in days, instead of years. However, Professor Pianka did not mention that Ebola victims die a slow and torturous death as the virus initiates a cascade of biological calamities inside the victim that eventually liquefy the internal organs.
>After praising the Ebola virus for its efficiency at killing, Pianka paused, leaned over the lectern, looked at us and carefully said, "We've got airborne 90 percent mortality in humans. Killing humans. Think about that."

Now, the question is, how do you get away with this? How do you convince everybody to get sprayed with Ebola Reston™and get away with it
...
Just do it and pretend space aliens did it...
When you have private, uncharted islands in the Pacific, a few nukes "fired by alien craft" on parts on the earth would leave you unaffected.
If you combines all nuclear powers, you have something like 10,000 warheads, roughly. half of which are part of the strategic arsenal
There are 4000 cities in the world with more than 100,000 people

You're going to need a bit more than a few nukes to kill 90% of mankind
