Nuclear fallout information

I just now noticed this thread so I have to read through it when I have more time. The History Channel's documentary Hiroshima 75 years later is a good watch.

I ended up in Germany in 1970. Base piece, M110 8" with strategic weapons, ie; the W33 (I think it was) nuclear round. Always kind of wondered about one of those landing maybe 15 miles away?

Even if they are all dead it will strike back

A thin little book titled Hiroshima is a good read also. It tells the story of 6 people who were there - close up.

Do you all think the big one will happen in the next 15 years?

Russia revamped their nuke policy to include attacks from non-nuclear countries with the support of nuclear countries. The day after biden said ukraine could use our weapons to attack directly into russia.

Fortunately for me I live in a purple triangle. I can only hope it happens while I sleep and I'm blissfully unaware of the impending doom. Of course they're probably send stupid warnings to all our cell phones to make sure we're awake.. jerks.

Well, on the bright side, all the blew states are gone. Dr. Strangelove borrowed my circular slide rule again...

It is specific DoD policy to NOT tell the general public if the balloon goes up. Last thing they want is a bunch of panicked civilians clogging up the highways and major crossroads.

Now that Trump is the new US President, I guess the situation in Ukraine can change. And nobody knows what exactly to expect. I wonder whether Russia will threaten the world with nukes if it isn't satisfied with Trump's plan. Also, I'm not sure Ukraine will be supported further.

According to today's news, Putin offers negotiations , with Trump!, not the sleepy joe.
