Ironically size of most nukes have come down due to improvements in targeting. So outside of any SS18 mod4s still floating around most are several hundred kilotons not multi-megaton. So extra protection mat make a difference. All depends on proximity. Moderate radiation exposure without flash burns is much more survivable in a post attack scenario. Diving back to cold War, read "war day" good fiction.

There's no 1 single nuke attack: those systems will only launch very very deliberately, and the minute an income ICMB is detected the attacked will answer with full might so, the game theoretic better move for the attacker is to attack with its full power all at once, the equilibrium of the MAD doctrine is just barely reached by considering that the agents are rational and they fear the counter attack as even if say Russia launches 100% of their nukes in the USA the submarines and hardened silos would most likely survive and they would retaliate and now Russia don't have a way to answer anymore. Nuclear war is a flamethrower fight in a oil refinery, the first shot no matter from who or from where will blow everything up no winners.

There is no scenario whereby the U.S. could launch a full strike against Russia or vice versa (or China against the U.S., etc) that would not be a global catastrophe that affects everyone, even if there was no retaliation. The fallout of attacking such a large landmass with that many weapons would affect everyone on the planet. People as far away as Africa and Australia would all be dying of cancer.

@stevenobrien557

It is called a decapitation attack. Biden or any other president is not going to order release because NORAD "thinks" only one ICBM is coming. That also assumes an ICBM would be used instead of a truck borne attack. In such a case, who would the remaining command even retaliate against? Such decision delays are the critical weaknesses of MAD theory.

This is a 'reporter', not a strategic analyst, not a military person, this is an amateur who talked to some people and wrote a scary book. Whoopty do! Talking about how destructive nuclear weapons are. Gee. Like we didn't know? A nuclear war does NOT start with a single nuke on the Pentagon. That is completely and utterly absurd. A first strike will be an all out attempt to eliminate ALL nuclear weapons of the side being struck. The primary targets will be military command/control (including the pentagon), ALL ICBM silos, ALL airforce bases, ALL naval bases, and ANY suspected locations of submarines, carrier strike groups and singleton destroyers. They will be timed to all hit, all at once. There 'may' be a few cities deliberately targeted, but not many, though many will be caught in the blast of nukes hitting other targets nearby. The enemy will need ALL their warheads to target nukes because if ANY nukes survive, the one who attacked will be subject to a retaliatory strike that will utterly destroy them. If a single boomer survives (ballistic nuclear submarine) the attacking enemy can kiss their 100 biggest cities goodbye. The fact that utterly disarming your enemy with a first strike is seen to be impossible is what has kept such a nuclear war from happening. Any attempt to 'win' with such a first strike is virtually guaranteed to fail to catch all of the opponents nukes, and their retaliation will assure the destruction of whoever attacked first, Mutually Assured Destruction, MAD. Under no circumstances would an enemy fire 'one' nuke at a target like the pentagon while the enemy has the ability to retaliate, as the consequences of doing that are going to be grievous in the extreme for whoever attacked.

She doesn't know the difference between counterforce and countervalue strikes. A counterforce strike is designed to destroy or severely impair an enemy's ability to launch an attack, a counterstrike, or to prosecute a war. Typical counterforce strikes involve nuclear missile sites and military bases. Countervalue strikes are aimed at civilian population centres with the aim of removing the ability of the civilian population to support a war effort by making and supplying war materiel, or by joining their country's armed forces, or demoralizing them so severely they give up any of these activities and surrender. A counterforce nuclear strike is most likely to take place in the early stages of a global nuclear war in hopes of forcing the enemy to sue for peace, or after an enemy that possesses nuclear weapons realizes that efforts to win a war using conventional weapons alone is not going to work. A countervalue strike will happen when the enemy can continue to prosecute a war in spite of having been attacked with nuclear weapons. In a general, no-holds-barred, use 'em or lose 'em nuclear war, counterforce and countervalue strikes will happen simultaneously.

I hear that a lot. It's a form of denial. You are basically saying "I don't have to do anything about this, think about this, or prepare in any way. It won't be an issue for me because I will self terminate if it happens." But the truth is that if it happened you almost certainly wouldn't do that. People have been faced with horrific nightmare lives for thousands of years and almost all of them carry on desperately trying to survive and do the best they can. In all likelihood, you would be trying to stay alive no matter how bad it was. That's just what we do, its what we are evolved to do. Only you would be in a very disadvantaged position because of your denial. If you don't want this to happen, do something about it. I know you can't end the threat on your own but at least talk to people about it to raise awareness of the problem. I grew up in the 80s. We were scared of nuclear war and we knew it could really happen. That wasn't great, but it worries me a little that no one even thinks about it now. The nuclear boogeyman is out there. It is a feature of our world. We have to intentionally not let that boogeyman wreak murderous havoc, not just ignore that he is out there.

What a lot of people do not understand is the less serious burns allow infection to set, this normally is not such a problem for many burn victims due to access to prompt medical care and supplies however in a nuclear attack scenario no such care would be possible on the required scale. The flimsiest of barriers can provide protection from these burns, a good example id the picture of a Hiroshima maiden with the fabric pattern of her dress burned into her skin.

If you haven't, watch "The Day After" with the late Jason Robards (2004). People think they can survive, but if it is an extensive attack on major cities, there will be no food, no utilities and no suitable water to drink. It would be a sad, slow, painful death, especially if you endure radiation poisoning. AS in the movie "War Games", the only way to win is not to play. This is why countries with old leaders have the most to fear.

The reality is that the majority of radiation will decay in the first 24 hours. If you can survive underground for two weeks it will be relatively safe to come out. Although your chances of cancer will be higher because of decay of secondary isotopes. I suspect nature would shrug off a nucl ear war within a couple of years.

For the uninitiated; 1 Kiloton=1 football fields stacked 9 feet deep in TNT. 1 Megaton= the same football field stacked 9000 (9 THOUSAND) feet deep in TNT. The average large city can expect a 5 megaton bomb with light to moderate damage at 6 miles from detonation. There will be 2 types of detonation; An "Airburst" which does no present a significant amount of "Military Fallout" as there is less opportunity of irradiating material. A "Ground burst" which presents "SIGNIFICANT" amounts of "Military Fallout" as all of the dirt, buildings and organic material is irradiated and thrown back into the air to rain down, down range of the detonation. D.C. will be overkill with several ground bursts meant to destroy command and control/leadership bunkers and any bureaucrats who weren't high enough to be saved.

It's always been terrifying, since nukes have been around. In 1962 a Russian sub B-59, was one person away from launching a nuke. 2 out of 3 people on board were ready to. The guy who spoke against it wasn't even the captain. So look, in the end logic will prevail even if someone else is illogical. You can choose to live in fear or not.

Thanks for this enlightening report!

I grew up and graduated high school in the 80’s. Back then they would still teach us to get under our desks if there was a nuclear war. But all of us saw video of nuclear bomb detonations. One kid asked our history teacher this question…. “Mr. Chamberlain, while we are under our desks what are you going to do? He said, “I’m grabbing a 6 pack going up on the roof and watching the fireworks”. That’s always been something I’ve remembered. So I don’t worry about it too much. I know if it happens it’s the end. And better to go closer to ground zero than further away from it.

It doesn’t need to hit the ground. Blowing it up above ground causing an EMP would be more catastrophic.

Spoke to a bloke who was a part of the Australian Occupational Force of Japan after the end of WW2. He was sent to one of the cities (I forget which) that was destroyed by the Atomic Bomb. He was completely unaware of the effects of Radiation at the time, being around 18 or 19. Spent the rest of his life with some health issues. His Wife had had many miscarriages as a result, or their children died at a very young age. They eventually had one healthy Son. During the Cold War itself, another bloke served in the Navy. The Ship he was on was stationed near an Island off the Coast of Australia. They did bomb testing there. He said ALL the Crew that witnessed it died within the coming years. All late teens to mid 20's. He was one of the lucky ones, he said. During the night there was a warm, ominous glow from where the bomb had been tested. He said something about Indigenous folk that went to a cave nearby as it was considered warm and well lit, probably to rest. Anyway, they were never seen again.

The emp from the Nuke would be enough to stop cell phones, internet, etc. It would be chaos, as there's no FEMA and Red Cross coming to help you. We have 2% food grown in USA on private level, so if you don't have food, and somehow survived radiation, you'll die in 2 weeks in Cali. No one is coming to help you. Free-for-all unless a member of the military (again, if they too survived).

Smells like THE DAY AFTER

With my formative years growing up, in the late 70s and the 80s, your guest is presenting some new facts. But a lot of this is already hardwired into people from my generation’s brain. The horror that would ensue for those who were to survive the initial blast would be unimaginable. Those within the radius of the initial fireball would be the lucky ones.

Malmstrom AFB in central Montana, which stores a large percentage of our nukes, was supposed to be 3rd strike behind the pentagon and NORAD, or at least it was when I was living there in the 80’s. I knew multiple people who worked in the silos.

8:08 hey don’t give away that location. Now they pointed a nuke to that Mount Weather. But helicopter, does it follows the FEMA director all the time? And it won’t reach “secret location” faster than nuclear strike.

I’ve planned an emergency fall out shelter, but honestly don’t think I would have the will or fortitude to survive at 63. May just stand out in the fallout and have a great cigar. Radiation is painful death, but surviving may be painful death that just takes longer with much suffering until….

Yeah, multi-megaton warheads are for hardened targets like missile silos and Cheyanne Mountain. Warheads targeting soft targets (ie population centers) are typically 450-750 kiloton range. The problem is there's generally multiple warheads for each big city. You can do more widespread destruction to soft targets with a few more modest sized warheads than you can with one big one.
