Chances of Surviving Nuclear War

I would believe that in a major war even with nukes coming into play that it would not be a total civilization destroyer.
One or more nations might be beat down badly and basically collapse and fall apart. But one thing that is different today. The higher level dissemination of technology construction and use is spread across the globe. Things would be different and tough but civilization would continue on.
It wouldn’t be sticks and stones everywhere.
A nuclear war in Europe, Russia and the US would be an unimaginable catastrophe that would have terrible repercussions for the rest of the world.

The very large vast majority of people on this earth will still be alive even if there is a full nuclear exchange between all nuclear states.... vast majority of people in the entire world do not live in the cities or military targets.

The biggest causality of any all out nuclear war will be starvation. Not the nukes/explosion themselves or radiation.

Also the vast majority of library's, universities, and infrastructure will widly remain intact. It won't be sticks and stones. The knowledge of the modern world will not disappear. Nor will the skilled or educated people all around the world most of which got their education in Western institutions like in Africa or South America will not just magicly go away.
 
You get it, mate: Our very existence hangs on a precipice.
🤝👍unfortunately definitely looking that way. I wish I was a dreamer , or bit of arrogance and ignorance mixed but on the other hand misguided confidence looks like bliss until it isn't. I do agree though about survivors in every country on the globe. How quick they start manufacturing again will depend upon many many factors. Especially with utilities destruction, even once people stop dying and killing each other ,could be atleast 1,2,3 decades-half a century. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤞 who knows who cares. I can't stop those responsible. What ever happens happens.

Ignorance does seem like bliss.

To put things in perspective, one 150kt nuke detonated over a medium sized British city would be enough to cripple and overwhelm Britains NHS. Yet, you have the so-called mayor of London saying things like "London is ready for a nuclear attack". it is that type of extremely dumb rhetoric that fills me with a real sense of foreboding.

This madness needs to stop.
 
I do get entertainment value here regularly though. Nearly most statements are dissected ,sliced and diced to suit. Or like a recent example of sticks and stones as a basic reference. Imagine i actually believed people would be fighting the following war with only sticks and stones 🤣😂🤣🤣😂🤭🙄🥱🥱🤷🏻‍♂️ is it desperation or honest mistakes but than again we are individuals. 😅😅🤞🤣😂

The DWS has said since the beginning of this place, it is very easy to survive a nuclear war and the vast majority of people will survive a all out nuclear war.

People say "it's fine I'd rather die in nuclear war." Well bad news for you! Unless your right under the bomb or in its immediate vicinity your going to live which is over 80-90% of world population. Better plan accordingly, it's easy, and cheap if done in increments.

Basicly don't count on a quick death, don't count on the nuke killing you. Most likly it will not for the very vast majority of people.

It is in governments misguided belief or the propaganda they need. Seems to work with most.
Look at covid . Perfect example of population size agreeing. They say most do. They know.
But sure trust is what it's all about really . Just request tables to duck n cover be supplied for population and you'll be right. Or atleast most should be.🤣😂🤣🤞🤦‍♂️🥱🥱🥱

Please don’t misunderstand me, it would be catastrophic in direct consequences and then again secondary effects.

I only mean we would not be thrown back into the Paleolithic or Iron Age.
Those that survive will have skills and knowledge as well as printed material to help reconstruct some semblance of civilization.
My intent was more of, it won’t be an extinction event.

Absolutely agree. Real dangers after surviving is survivors,besides disease, lack of coping skills,food,water etc etc . Eg. In a surviving population of say 10,000 is 1500 rounds going to be enough.? Should you risk that scenario. Or do we picture 911 when everyone works together for a common goal.?

There does seem to be a flippant attitude where the Russian threat is concerned. I have even seen stories from so-called experts who claim that most of Russia's nukes don't work; and that they are actually a paper tiger. It is that kind of vacuous reporting and analysis that has led us to the current juncture ; for many don't perceive the threat that we face; and think that there will be no blowback from our role in the conflict.

I agree...civilisation would carry on; but it wouldn't be a nice world to carry on in.
 
Highly doubt it. Maybe some real small ruel towns or communities may band together though.
I'm sure that will happen in some small communities. Even then neighbouring small communities could be helpful or dangerous. And most communities have dangerous or potentially dangerous people amongst them to be sifted out. You are correct though it is possible.

That and small communities such as that will likely not welcome or be extremely hostile to outsiders. So wouldn't suggest going out and finding a ruel community after nuclear war. I mean unless you do want to die. Haha....
 
It would be a nightmare for most.
Oh hell yea it will be. Most people FALSLY think their going to die in a nuclear war/explosion due to lack of education in this matter so they don't see the point in simple preparations.

So they do not prepare because of being misinformed on nuclear war and will suffer because of it. When vast majority of people could or will survive if they simply just prepared really basic inexpensive things.

Absolutely correct personally I wouldn't be interested in contacting a single human again for quite some time, minimum 2-3 yrs. Even then recon before deciding. To dangerous to risk it. Imo.

This is the thing I dislike the most. People say it all the time, “ I want the bomb to hit me right in the butt.” Unfortunately that’s not gonna happen and it’s better to gather the knowledge and resources to survive a scenario that will most likely not kill you in the beginning.
I think the one thing a lot of folks don’t realize is it’s all great to get all the resources you need but something one really needs to focus on is learning to cope with the stressors that will come during and after. It will be a hard pill to swallow but you may find you need to do something you never thought you would, IE defend your family / base camp with whatever means necessary,

The report do NOT say Russian nukes don’t work. The an unclassified Assessment
was that 60% of Russian nukes would “Fizzle”. That means 60% of Russian nuclear warheads will be Atomic bombs (Fission) and not achieving Fusion. Those are still VERY dangerous weapons. Even with 60% NOT achieving fusion it still make Russia the second largest power well ahead of china with 60% being counted as Atomic Bombs. Russia will certainly give as good as it gets from France and the UK and would seriously inconvenience the US.
