How many of these videos need to be posted before people actually understand the difference? It is like trying to convince a person the earth is flat.

If you're talking about the digital artifacting, that's the result of:
1: shakey digital camera work, which is likely a cell phone video
2: Cell phone cameras, unless they're the newest (like less than 2 years) device will have digital artifacting
3: Cell phone cameras are notoriously bad at dealing with changes in lighting, so any bright flash will cause distortion on the CCD (or CMOS) as it tries to focus the new change in light levels.
4: Youtube encoding

1. there were multiple angles from different cameras
2. Different cameras had the same artifact
3. CCDs do not "focus" on change in light levels
4. YouTube encoding does not create specific artifacts

Still doesn't account for the fact that not ONE nation has reported detecting radioactive byproducts of a nuclear detonation.
When that happens, I'll give this story some credence. Not every big explosion is nuclear.

That's like saying "Unless someone proves to me that it's not aliens, it's aliens"
Come on now, apply some common sense. If ANY nation used a nuclear weapon on foreign soil, it would be on every news network within MINUTES. It would change the world. And you expect me to believe this has happened, and somehow, it's being covered up?

The video in the op is almost certainly a thermobaric bomb hitting a fuel dump and ejecting the fuel into the air.
It "could" be one of the US "secret" mini nukes (3000kg TNT power for few hundred kg weight). Like was probably used in Lebanon and the twin Towers. But if so there would be strong evidence of vapourised metal from the high power RF near the site.
The camera would also stop working for at least a second at that range.

...they have been specifically outfitted for the express purpose
of delivering a Neutron bomb
Neutron bombs require about a 20kT fission primary, and have to be detonated in an airburst at about 1000 to 5000 feet.
These were NOT neutron bombs. Sorry.

So they weren't "your" sources. They were an independent radio show.
Can I suggest that you post in such a style that does not attempt to indicate that you have a direct link to information?
Can I also suggest that you don't believe everything that you see/hear in the internet or promote it as "fact" without doing some actual factual research on the subject?

Well if you are a PhD in applied nuclear physics and you are 100% convinced that it's not a nuclear detonation, then all the power to you, but the rest of us are free to think for your selves, because while most people have a difficulty in deciding a meal from a lunch menu, you seem to have some sort of proof positive evidence that it's not a nuclear event.
I for one have seen videos of what engineering nuclear devices do, specifically in mining operations, and unless somebody is familiar with such technology they couldn't tell apart a few dynamite sticks blowing up an old stump from a half kiloton device taking down a side of a mountain.
You must be some sort of a professional in nuclear physics field.

it's hitting a fuel dump.
i.e. a bunker buster hit - probably a petrol station, and the contents were ejected into the air which is what you see burning in the cloud.
you can read more about the mini nukes here:
www.cfr.org/content/publications/attachments/Nelson_Bunkers.pdf
it's almost definitely not nuclear, the only light from a small nuke of that puny magnitude would be brilliantly bright white/blue from arching in any nearby metal (like the light from a welders torch).
aiui they now have them "clean" (only trace radiation left afterwards), like:
www.globalresearch.ca...
It "could" also be one of those hitting a petrol station.
We'll see what's in the crater.
