Chances of Surviving Nuclear War

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.

Our first warning would be a message on our phones: kiss your ass goodbye!

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.?

Many if not most people will not be in a blast radius, so they will likely survive even a full exchange. But major breadbaskets of the world will be impacted. Transportation will be significantly hampered, and food distribution (if there is any clean food left to harvest) will be disrupted. Lack of clean food and water will likely be the lead killer after detonation. Radiation will kill more as most people won't know how to avoid it, and lack of good information might cause refugees to wander into irradiated territory. Good news is that the radiation risk will dissipate relatively quickly.

But we can prepare and plan for all of that. People with a good plan are more likely to survive.

But what absolutely scares the frack out of me is a breakdown in social order, lawlessness, a splintering of society, and the lack of information. The destruction of communication infrastructure along with the possible effects from EMP will disrupt nearly every form of communication we are used to today. To me, this is the real nightmare.

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.

exactly, if we buy the ticket we WILL take the ride.

I would take Mr. Cramer's statements with a pinch of salt.

A 10 pound bag of salt.
