    EMP + Fallout + Nuclear Winter + Breakdown of supply chain = 98.7% fatality rate in first year. And the remaining 1.3% will be the unlucky ones. No Mad Max. No Vault Tec. More like "The Road" and "Threads".

    The threat of nuclear winter is a exaggerated one as the studies at the time assumed that the cities in question that would kick up the dust to block out the sun would do so continuously and I think I’ve heard that research since the 1980s has demonstrated that a more likely scenario would be a nuclear autumn or something like the year without a summer that would hurt the northern hemisphere a lot, but would be incredibly devastating for the third world in the aftermath. Likely the majority of deaths outside of the initial war, and the lawlessness and chaos after the initial strike would likely be from this part of the world. The EMPs can be defended against as there is such a thing as makeshift faraday cages. Fallout can be protected against by sealing the cracks in windows walls and turning off heating and air conditioning. The breakdown and supply chains can be prepared for by having a large stockpile of food and water, such as my family has long had, and originally obtained for very different reasons, but has kept in case of disaster, such as this. Honestly, I think that the biggest danger in a nuclear war is simply the fatalism and the unwillingness to try to survive along with the psychological panic people would have. I think that if you got rid of those two factors, a heck of a lot more people would survive then you would think. In short there IS a safe place to hide, but only if you are willing to face the unpleasant facts of this subject, and recognize that a whole hearted attempt of survival is not just the smart thing to do, but possibly even a moral demand on us, so that humankind might continue.

    I'm sure that this is a troll post, but I will humor you as if you were serious: Your assumptions (and you do assume *much* ) would only hold up if there were a few nuclear warheads exploded, worldwide. That would be extremely unlikely. Even if, say, India and Pakistan have a "limited" exchange, that would be far more fallout than our human populace could easily endure. Next, you downplay EMP damage by suggesting everybody has Faraday cages for all their electronics. Hey, maybe you do. But do all your neighbors and families? I have not heard such a Pollyanna response to nuclear devastation since the Reagan years. So, anyway...thanks for the laugh!@@lucasquintanilla1673

    @@jobiden2942 that definitely would happen in places but I think the government would probably survive well enough that it is highly likely least in the United States that this sort of thing wouldn’t happen over here. That being said, in the third world, and likely in Europe that might happen. In my opinion, it all depends on how well America survives it because if it’s able to get back in shape within a few decades, and maintain enough food supplies in the long run, then there could be something like the Marshall plan to Europe and parts of east Asia within a lifetime.

    One key thing that nobody seems to know is the fact that unlike the bombings of Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and just about every scenario depicted, in a nuclear exchange each target location would be struck with multiple warheads. Information on nuclear doctrine from the Soviet Union calls for targets like NYC and DC to be hit with no less that 5 weapons a piece. Each of those weapons would be between 100 and 500 kilotons each, so not even the cockroaches in those cities would survive, and the amount of fallout produced would be spread all over the world. If anyone has seen pictures of people covered in dust after the 9/11 attacks just imagine thousands of times more of that dust but now its radioactive and it’s everywhere. The middle of the country isn’t safe either because that’s where our missile silos are and they are first on the list for target locations. So that psa was ill advised to say the least

The earlier generation missiles could carry more warheads with higher fixed yields. But modern missiles will carry dummy MRV's not covered by treaty, to overwhelm anti missile defense systems. Then in addition to ICBM'S, every Bomber and fighter aircraft in our arsenal is rater to carry some kind of nuclear munitions, there are subs off the coasts of adversary nations that carry SLBM missiles the ICBM'S little brother aka(sub launched ballistic missiles), Navy ships can launch nuclear tipped Cruise missiles,. You hear people go on about Tactical nukes like they're something new, when the first one was developed back in the 50's in the Davey Crockett recoilless nuclear rifle, and one Los Alamos engineer was quoted saying as far as size goes we can produce a nuclear hand grenade, but we'd need someone suicidal enough to throw it. And of course there's the relatively new work being done to build hypersonic missiles to carry nuclear weapons that skip the step of going to low earth orbit to release warheads on targets below as current ICBM'S do, but can travel almost as fast as one of those MRV warheads as ot comes down from orbit to hit its target.

    Exactly! Obviously, if there’s some kind of full-scale exchange and you live in a major target city, you’re probably pretty screwed, but the advice could save tons of lives in the event of a terrorist act or limited attack. One school of thought now involves Western countries being too soft to respond with mutually assured destruction, so the idea of strategic strikes with small weapons to create humanitarian problems and disable infrastructure is back on the table.
