Research air bursts vs ground busts, air burst produce a lot less radiation long term than ground bursts would and many would be air bursts to do wider surface destruction.

The trend also has been to get away from the massive megaton devices, and go to kiloton devices though there is no promise that some large megaton detonations wouldn't happen.

Well, I’m sure General Milley will call his Chinese and Russians counterparts and warn them of an American retaliation missile strike.

We’re screwed with Biden, Harris, Pelosi, General Austin and General Milley running the show and sadly, Putin knows this too.

Well the media and people, even some here on CD are chanting the war cry to attack Russia, I don't know what the hell is going on in their minds

Ukraine is a corrupt country that elites go to launder their money, sure it is noble that Ukrainians are fighting back, but in the end the leadership and rich in Ukraine are as corrupt as Russia and some are ready to start WW3 over it.

I had a friend and family gathering the other day we are already prepping as much water, food and other survival needs with the plan that the MOMENT it gets hot with NATO and Russia to gather at a designated place that is not so close to cities and known military targets

I have zero faith in the current leadership and the time is now to have a bug out plan to at least TRY to survive. The time is NOW to have your plan and items together so you can escape , because wait too long and everyone else will be trying also and you'll be stuck surrounded my mass amounts of panicking people.

How do you survive radiation? What about long term? If WW3 happens, it's not like you can wait it out for few weeks and then go run to your local supermarket to restock.

Anything you ever wanted to do, the bucket list, whatever, you should do it now.

I am thinking of doing some fishing up in the mountains of New Mexico. Get with nature. Spend the summer enjoying life while it lasts. My gut feeling is this Ukraine thing is going to lead to nuclear war.

our military is always ready and prepared for anything.. We have the most highly trained, skilled, and well equipped military in the world.


The US people are not prepared as we have the softest useless crap population of people on the earth. You see the strength and resiliency of the Ukrainian people doing what they need to do to survive. Our population couldn't endure a weekend huddled in a subway station with no beds limited food and who knows what for a bathroom. We would be waiving the white flag in 24 hours.


Don't worry about our armed forces worry about our politicians and our population.

You can probably break into your closed down supermarket and get what you want. At least inflation won't be a worry any longer.

There was a movie The Day After from 1987 that highlighted what would happen. The build up to the nuclear war seems very similar to what is happening right now.


The Day After


The film postulates a fictional war between the NATO forces and the Warsaw Pact countries that rapidly escalates into a full-scale nuclear exchange between the United States and the Soviet Union. The action itself focuses on the residents of Lawrence, Kansas, and Kansas City, Missouri, and of several family farms near nuclear missile silos.

A high-altitude nuclear explosion occurs over the central United States, generating an electromagnetic pulse which disables vehicles and destroys the electrical grid. Shortly thereafter, high-yield nuclear weapons detonate over numerous locations, including downtown Kansas City, Sedalia, and Sweetsage. The Hendry family, having initially ignored the crisis, is killed when they try to flee. McCoy takes refuge in a truck trailer, and Klein, who had hitchhiked as far as Harrisonville, finds the Dahlberg home and begs for protection in the family's basement. In the meantime, young Danny Dahlberg is flash blinded upon looking at a nearby nuclear detonation. Dr. Oakes, who witnessed the nuclear explosion over Kansas City, walks to the hospital in Lawrence and begins treating patients.

While nukes going off is the horrible worst scenario, Russia has the capability with EMP weapons and they are real good at cyber warfare.

I 'd say 90% of people these days don't carry cash and use a debit or credit card. Imagine how fast things will get ugly when people can't use their electronic money or there is no power. Within a week food will rot, stores will be empty, gas might not pump, people will start getting desperate and violent. Most people don't even have a weeks supply of food and water in their homes.

The time is now to have a plan. If you live in a dense city or close to targets that will probably get nuked, the time is now to make a plan or to leave it fate.
