But this is a pretty interesting up-to-date guide, sourced directly from FEMA: Planning Guidance for Response to a Nuclear Detonation (pdf) The map is designed to scare the maximum number of Americans possible along with the lies that everyone will just be vaporized. The targets not identified on the map as 500 or even 2000 device targets are laughable and discredit the entire thing. Yeh that map has three dots on Montgomery, Prattville and Millbrook Alabama...  Gotta say that discredits the whole damn map to me. Yes some targets shown, NY, SF, LA, etc. are real, but come on... Prattville and Millbrook. Montgomery has Maxwell Gunter which is a com hub, or maybe a back up com hub, for the AF, so maybe second strike. But first strike or retaliation strike. Not a chance. |

I'm sure those three large clusters in some north central states are all missile fields with the under earth portion of the nuclear triad based there. Would they likely be able to get a majority of the US under earth and I assume also plane launched ICBMs before they could be launched? If they did, then would American nuclear doctrine mirror Russian, with the remaining part of the arsenal dedicated to use against Russian cities? |

The US/NATO said "nope" and started pouring all sorts of aid, weapons and equipment, into Ukraine, and you had what really never occurred even during the cold war, a proxy war right on Russia's border, in a former Soviet republic, not just a satellite country of the USSR. The thing from the cold war that compares the most to it I think would be the Cuban Missile Crisis. |

Going up against a sober spetsnaz team, or just a competent platoon with usual loadout, they would destroy you. I have no idea how those guys back then managed to draw those bowstrings.

I have the feeling longbows had such high draw weights for range, and may have not been the best bow for fighting in a place like a forest, although added velocity I would expect they get would be better for penetrating armor. |

Reminds me of my childhood when they had a poster of 10 things to do when an atomic bomb blasts. Some of the things mentioned there. But I don’t recall many of the ten. Except number 10. “Place your head firmly between your legs and kiss your sweet ass goodbye!” I don’t think much has changed since the late 70’s. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Butternut: If one were to touch off elsewhere in the world, it would change things, globally, like few can imagine. Beyond the mass murder, the economic repercussions would eventually devastate all. If one were to touch off in the US, we'd never recover in our lifetimes. If multiple hits lit the US, sooner or later, and probably sooner, almost everyone left would wish and pray they had been taken in the initial inferno. Survival doctrine has and will of course be formulated by governments, as it goes against all human nature not to hope and plan. But don't kid yourself. If there is global nuclear war, it will be a coming of hell on earth, and those left will wish they were not. It might be a good time to be in Africa or South America. Not many fat cat countries give two sh*ts about them. |

We live close enough to a couple of potential targets that we’d probably be pretty well screwed. If the initial blasts don’t get us, or even happen at those targets, ND fallout will probably screw us eventually.
If the alarms start going off, I’ll be half tempted to go stand in my cul-de-sac and look towards the nearest potential target just a couple miles away. We’re boned pretty immediately if that target gets hit, so at best, maybe I could be remembered as a shadow on the pavement. I think we’re within range of the “everything around you is now engulfed in flames” radius of most warheads, potentially within the “your house is now a pancake” radius if it’s a big enough yield. If that target isn’t hit, then it’s just trying to execute the plan of getting to the cabin ASAP, and hoping the prevailing winds in ND are more North>South than West >East for the initial fallout. Oh well. I just hope it’s either “surprise, you’re now vaporized” or just worrying about ND fallout. I’d hate to have an in-between scenario, where we barely survive an initial blast, but know we’re dying very soon to radiation poisoning. |

Plus, Vlad's been doing his thing for two years now. (This is where I mention advocating killing the son of a bitch, and everyone within 600 meters of him, and doing business with Oligarch #2, roughly two miliiseconds after his underling Medvedev threatened us with nuclear annihilation the first time.) Anyway, things have been bad for Vlad, and we get to fade this and that temper tantrum about nukes from their foreign ministry---to the point that this place needs a Nuclear War folder, because they couldn't give a shit about reading any of Lima XRay's posts---but things have ramped up a tad in Western media, right? It's getting concerning? I don't expect to see resets of Glasstone in the Daily Mail, like it was 1983. That I'm actually am seeing this shit, is cause for concern. Not because I worry about Russia. (I plan on Pulling Through. Even minus the cheetah.) But because I worry about why our media is suddenly seeing this as something that everyone should be afraid of. |

Some additional snips from the effects on people in Japan:    Little Boy dropped on Hiroshima was 15 KT. Fat Man dropped on Nagasaki was 21 KT. They were both air bursts with Little Boy at ~1968 ft and Fat Man at ~1,650 ft. Tsar Bomba was 58,000 KT but most warheads on ICBMs MIRVs in Russia are in the 550 to 750 KT range of yield or lower. Prepare to be successful and if circumstances work against you then at least you gave it your best shot rather than just giving up before the "fight" even happened. |

But I'm guessing naval bases would get bigger warheads. Also ground vs airburst makes a good bit of difference. Having been to Hiroshima they have survivor trees not that far from ground zero.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By PacNW5: There's an old B&W civil defense movie that shows a man using a newspaper to cover his face from a nuclear blast. Supposedly, Eisenhower said that if we ever had a nuclear exchange, there wouldn't be enough bulldozers to clear all the dead. Covering your face with anything is a lesson learned from the bombs dropped on Japan. People with thin clothes or newspapers or similarly thin material would have the covered/shaded part of their body fine while the uncovered parts were devoid of skin from the initial pulse. And duck and cover is a good idea. More people would be killed by falling/collapsing/flying debris than anything else from the initial blast. If you are out in the open but not right by the explosion, you have a few short moments from the visible light to the damaging stuff in which to hide as much of yourself as possible. Even getting clothes (like a jacket) over your head and other exposed skin will stop a lot of the damage. Getting down low, away from glass, and under something solid will protect you from a lot of debris that will be flying around from the blast pressure wave. I hate seeing people disparage this stuff as silly or wishful thinking when it was pretty well researched and is very easy stuff to teach and implement. I fear that a lot of people will die needlessly in any nuclear exchange because they were told to ignore information like this. |

We had the drills in school. Get under your desk or in the central corridor. Put your head between your legs. Kiss your ass goodbye.
Honestly, I am currently nowhere near a target. Fallout will be the only real killer where I live - and there are few places in the US that would not have fallout. As for the maps - I would probably see glows over the horizon (in virtually every direct other than south) from about 15 targets that are in the 500 bomb list. So I guess my fallout issue would be seasonal - we get plenty of days with the wind from the South. Honestly though, the biggest issue I would probably deal with is not so much the fallout, but the people fleeing those 3 cities. |

Not really worried about it, I guess they would nuke Austin and Ft Hood, but at 26 and 32 miles from either I suppose fallout is the only issue.
