Someone on Twitter a.k.a. X dared to ask the question: What would you do in the event of a nuclear war?
I was glad someone
asked, given the dangers of current U.S. foreign policy vis-à-vis the war
between the ‘Allies’ of Ukraine and those of Russia. It’s pretty clear the countries supporting
Ukraine don’t want Americans and Europeans to think bad thoughts. But how can
you not?
There’ s
continuing escalation as the U.S. warmongering politicians keep pouring money
and military equipment into Ukraine. Not
only is this killing off generations of Ukrainians and Russians, too, but it’s
effecting a world wide malaise in inflated food prices, housing prices, automobile
prices and industrial production.
Terrified as
I am, I was surprised by the blitheness with which many people responded. There seem to be two sides. At the prospect of a nuclear war between the
U.S., China, and Russia, I would be on the side that simply gives themselves up
for a horrible death. On the other said,
there are people saying, in effect, oh well, it’s not so bad as you think.
Let’s look
at some of the responses:
Here’s a
sober thought from “Thinking Creature” : I’ve been in one
of those bunkers in the Russian Far East: they could accommodate thousands,
pretty amazing indeed. Now I am in Australia and all our buildings won’t
withstand a wolf huffing and puffing. So we just turn into a star dust. Very quick & hopefully
painlessly.
Ah, very good there Tor!
I can rest easy, though my first thoughts run to the “end of global
trade.” Yeah, that would be an awful
thing when you’re incinerated.
Then there’s the relatively moderate ‘The Nothing to See’
: You have to find a way to survive until radiation levels
are low enough. Moreover, the entire infrastructure will likely be severely
affected, particularly critical aspects like electricity, as nuclear plants are
obvious targets. This is not just a matter of trade; the level of chaos is
expected to be incredibly high.
I like this one.
You know he’s stocked up with plenty of ammo, a good supply of thirty
round clips, and has converted his AR-15
to full automatic.
You will not breathe a sigh of relief from what cc cw who
“likes playing guitar on the Louisiana Bayou” has to say about a tri-partite
nuclear war between the U.S, China, and Russia: the entire manufacturing complex in the USA; the gulf, east
and west coasts are toast as are the major cities and especially the states
where icbms and military bases are primary targets and will be hit with an over
abundance of missiles from planes, subs, ships and icbms and small bombs that i
imagine are already in position in certain places ( i hope I am wrong about
this and that I am just being a little paranoid).
He hopes he’s
wrong about this and is just being paranoid.
I hope he’s wrong about this too but as for the ‘paranoid’ I would say
not, given the morons who are rattling China and pouring billions into Ukraine
to fight the Russians.
I mean, really, wouldn’t you rather hear lonesome
cc cw playing his guitar on the Louisiana Bayou than the explosive sound of,
