- What would happen if a nuclear war were to be sparked between Russia and the United States today? Who would survive?
In our most scientifically realistic simulation to date, we show what a nuclear war between Russia and the United States might look like today. It is based on detailed modeling of nuclear targets, missile trajectories, and the effects of blasts, EMPs, and smoke on the climate and food resources.
We have just announced the results of our latest grant program focused on the humanitarian impacts of nuclear war - see the list of projects here: futureoflife.org/grant-progra...

*"Mankind must put an end to war, or war will put an end to mankind"-* John F. Kennedy
"Only the dead have seen the end of war." - Plato
John F Kennedy was the only president to lock horns with the multinational conglomerate we call the military industrial complex. We see what happened. Dwight D Eisenhower also warned us in his farewell address to the nation as president. Eisenhower and Kennedy took many walks together pondering such issues.
I'll admit...Covid really screwed me up a bit! As lockdowns were easing, tensions that were built up over many months, culminated in my last break-up. But my career was still going strong, as I had just started what I thought would be an exciting job, as a senior software engineer for a popular online charity organisation.
Anyway, news then hit me that Russia invaded Ukraine and films I had watched as a kid, about the aftermath of a Nuclear War, such as The Day After and Threads, started to invade my dreams....
I quickly lost interest in my new job... Pretty much lost interest in a LOT of things, particularly since I was single again, and I guess something finally snapped! Covid... America and Russia engaged in a proxy war... Interest rates, inflation and our failing global economy... Our failing politics and political corruption... This insane trans agenda... Oh and, we've just been informed, here in the UK, that last month was the hottest June on record... So yeah, global warming... Just to name a small handful of current concerns!
But the one that really freaks me out is this ongoing conflict. So much so, that I quit my job and have been living of my savings for the past year now... Playing video games, getting high... And just trying to make sense of this insane world that we're living in!
Oh I will get back on that horse eventually! I worked too damn hard to give up now! So I'm treating this as a much needed career break! But I do wonder, what exactly are we even fighting for these days? Because the way I see it, our future is very much in jeopardy... For a whole plethora of reasons!
Anyway... Good Luck to Us ALL!
If the USA and NATO make the same mistake again and again can't avoid a nuclear catastrophic and end of civilization
It is needed for the advancement of humanity
It's not war, it's absolute annihilation.
This is The end of the world of men oh Shit!
Not before humanity develops the first Cyber User Nuclear Warhead. The command block of Minecraft is key to destroying the entire Internet of gaming contents. Lol.
It's a hard reset of Earth. Except fixing in just ten minutes, it'd take a thousand years before life can begin again
The structures of Governments are like those of corporations. It offers services to customers (aka. people), in exchange for money (aka. taxes). So, the employees of the corrupt corporation called government don't work for people, only for themselves in the pursue of bigger and bigger profit at the expense of people well-being. They don't serve people, they see people as competitors/sources of income. We the people, are sovereign beings, if a corporation wants to sell us war, we have the right to refuse it. Don't take any injection governments/media promote, don't go to fight in a war for these corrupts governments corporation, nor go and defend them. People are manipulated to hate and kill each other. We need to wake up!

I get so tired of people using words like "we" when they discuss the ills of society. I'm not doing it. I have fought to spread the truth about the manipulation and slow annihilation of our way of life. I have been ridiculed and ostracized for speaking out for fifty years. I saw the writing on the wall when I was young.

Governments are just a corporation in which people are shareholders, and unfortunately it is a deeply corrupt corporation that does not serve the people but serves itself. Governments are not the home of the people, is nothing to defend there !!! But they are, in fact, the enemy of the people, they are the ones who consider themselves above anything and all, above the people, they are the masters of slaves, that is, those who control people by various means. When people comprehend this, they will no longer give their power into the hands of others, who are naturally kind of psychopathic, that is, hungry for control / power!

I'm 75. Seen about every doc and read every print article about nuclear war, since the 60's. I'm also a veteran of the "duck and cover" scenario in school. We were freaking terrified. Then there was watching our parents being scared... watching Khrushchev go nuts at the UN. We were in Germany at that time and were getting prepped to evacuate back to the USA. My sister and I were a complete mess. We weren't even excited about missing school.
And all that stress, to this day, has an impact on me emotionally.
We *really* have to keep crazy people out of the White House and military. The responsibility involves every living creature on earth.
Very well said. Too bad we failed.
No lie. I was 12 during the Cuban Missle Crisis. Brought home a note for my parents . " In the event of a nuclear attack there will be an early dismissal " School board treated it like a Snow Day
My belief is that it’s inevitable, just a matter of time. Maybe you have more faith in humanity than I do?
@@randygreen007 I have no faith in humanity, I only have faith in God
@@maxrockatanskytheroadwarrior Amen and that’s the reason I say this scenario is inevitable. God put us here as a test to see how or if we can learn to get along. Since everyday it seems we are proving to God that we can’t I think the future looks dim. This situation is closer than most realize.
I grew up in the late 40s and 50s. During the period of Cold War up to an including 1962 missile crisis in Cuba I was never really worried that they would be a nuclear war. I had more faith in the leaders of America and the Soviet Union who knew what suffering was in a war
I'm sad to say that I am worried about nuclear war today as I have no faith in the people running my country
And I grew up in a country, to the borders of which the enemy is getting closer and closer every year. We have weapons, but soon there will be no room for swing and strike. I'm afraid the decision will have to be made in the coming years, if not months. Although the enemy sweetly whispers that he is not approaching us, but our neighbors, and in general, he just came to drink coffee, but with a weapon in his hands.

There’s a movie called ‘Threads’ that plays out a nuclear war scenario and it’s one of the most terrifying things I’ve ever watched, nuclear war is absolutely horrific and this movie portrays it amazingly

One of the most popular science writers, Carl Sagan, co-authored in the mid-1980s probably the most influential scientific paper on the subject of nuclear winter (the so-called TTAPS report, after names of the scientists who wrote it). They extrapolated results from research of climatic effects of dust storms on Mars, observed in the 1970s, along with results from their scientific collegues, who studied effects of massive volcanic eruptions and large asteroid impacts in Earth's history...I remember reading about these results, some of which were included in the last chapter of his famous book "Cosmos", titled "Who Speaks For Earth?". I was just a teenager back then, but I still remember how absolutely terrified I was after reading that chapter. He described the total destruction of human civilization as a likely outcome of total nuclear war, but he concluded, somewhat to my surprise, that probably the worst thing would be the consciousness that we could have prevented it, but somehow we failed to do so. The consciousness about a civilization destroyed for no apparent reason. Nuclear war is something that must NEVER happen, if we ever want to have future on this planet, not only for us, but also for our children...
Sagan was far more than a sci-fi writer - he was a scientist, philosopher, mathematician, historian, and author among many other things. His wisdom and intellect would be much appreciated right now in our modern world of climate change and war, alas he passed away much too soon. The original Cosmos is a fantastic show that is still relevant today.
@@grghkllb3875 couldn't agree more, but somehow I feel the need to explain myself-I didn't say that he was sci-fi writer, but SCIENCE writer.What I wanted to say is that he was one of the most influential popularizers and advocates of science (in a way, he was predecessor of Neil deGrasse Tyson and many others) and, of course, as you stated, much,much more than that-scientist, astronomer, philosopher, pioneer in the field of astrobiology, writer, communicator of science...If I remember correctly, he only wrote one sci-fi novel, "Contact", which may be considered to be fictional extrapolation of his previous work in the field of search for the extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI). However, I totally agree with you-his wisdom is greatly missed these days...I often read his most popular books, not only "Cosmos", but also "Pale Blue Dot", "Demon-Haunted World", "Shadows Of Forgotten Ancestors"(which he co-wrote with Ann Druyan-by the way, he dedicated "Cosmos" to her)...
all bad things that can happen, eventually do. Specially if we keep being so ready..

Who are these so-called "Ordinary people"?
Noah had three sons, namely: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
Almost right after the Flood, they all abandoned the Creator of all things, (who had just saved them from destruction), to go whoring after "other gods".
So God told Noah, in a dream, to divide by lot, the entire post-Flood world into three very specifically defined Territories; one Land for each of the Sons and their progeny. Then, Noah was to tell them to stay out of eachother's Territories "lest there be strife".............................. and right from Day-One, there was strife as Canaan, a Hamite, usurped for himself, the best Land on all the Earth, which rightly had fallen to his Uncle Shem.
And so, almost all of them, as they abandoned YHWH, got put on His "ignore list" .
And so almost right away, there were no ordinary people.
The ordinary state of about 75% of mankind, in this World, is to be;
Pagan/Heathen/Atheist/or Agnostic.
But it's actually worse. Of the 2.2 billion who claim to be Christian, 1.2 billion of them claim to be Roman Catholic, which, at it's roots, is fully Paganized.
But it's actually even worse; most of the 1 billion, non RC Christians, are actually daughter-churches to the RC church, the main difference being their system of church governance.
So as you can see; what you call "ordinary", is actually the exception.
In the World today, Scripturally speaking, there are two kinds of living/speaking creatures, namely;
1) the seed of Adam, and
2) the seed of satan
Of the first kind, there are three subdivisions. namely;
1) the Wheat, destined to Everlasting Life
2) the Tares, destined to the Lake of Fire
3) those not yet "drawn" by AlmightyGod, which could go either way.
Of the Second kind, there are two subdivisions, namely;
1) the visible kind; which are;
a) humans possessed by devils; and/or
b) the so-called aliens, which are the rebel-angels kicked-out-of-heaven.
2) the invisible kind; which include but are not limited to;
c) satan himself, and
d) his army, the spirits/devils, and
e) possibly, a few so-called "demons"
All of these are destined to destruction.
So which bunch, are, "ordinary"?
Greed ruins everything.

You could say that the worst thing happening to you in a case of nuclear war would be...surviving it!
Idk according to what I've been reading the idea of prolonged "nuclear winter" is falling out of favor with scientists. Nuclear weapons are getting more efficient because targeting systems are. A yield of 100x more TNT equivalent does not = 100x more radius, radiation, or pollution
I think you are referring to a report that was debunked later by the scientists who actually wrote it. Even if the nuclear winter isn't prolonged, the rest of it's okay?
I probably shouldn't watch this before bed, but here I am

Watch the movie "WAR GAMES"... It basically said the same thing you m though there were many times more nuclear weapons then then there are now
Thank you for reminding everyone of the obvious reality.
It is NOT obvious to enough people, trust me.
relax its not going to happen in this reality you people let fear control you
@@MrPositive3DRight. I’ve seen people in Mexico or Canada
-shit anywhere- laugh about us getting nuked but I’m like??? You do know radiation spreads in every direction especially where the wind goes, not to consider the intensity possibility of a nuclear winter. Sometimes, half of these people deserve that reality, sucks that the other half would suffer the same.
You do not understand just how stupid the public is.
@@MrPositive3D I don´t think it´s only a matter of "obviousness". Unfortunately, mankind has also a dark side in his soul, some people with lots of money and recourses to pay for underground safe facilities might think they can be the rulers of a post apocalyptical world even if they see these videos thousand times.
The best thing to come from a nuclear war would be the loss of social media and internet for a very long time.
What would the younger generation do without social media ?? The number one complaint on 9-11 was their Facebook was down kids were going nuts bored out of their minds

Just shared, crossing my fingers that my friends and family won’t start a nuclear war 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
I suppose you think you're being funny, you're not. You are being an idiot.
It's simply amazing, unbelievable, and terrifying that most of us are 30 minutes away from most all of life being gone.
i can't wait
Ditto. I've suffered and watched animals suffer long enough. Humans are a scourge.
Love & compassion are our only hope. It has taken me a lifetime of fighting, struggling & suffering to realise it. I wish I'd known sooner. I hope one day we realise it as a species. Before it is too late.
It’s already to late
but will that be bad ? 99% less stupid humans, 1% left, rebuilding a maybe better civilization, dont see the problem here :P
I live between three military bases, two airforce, one army, and near Cheyenne Mt., I don't think I have to worry about what would happen to me because I doubt I'd have the time to even know what hit us.
lol I am probably your neighbor. Yeah its going to be a blink out for us.
Lol you probably live closer to the nuclear silos than you think 😂
I'm born in the early 30s. Ive been through it all. We are not worse off now than in ww2. Our president then got 4 terms we had gas rationing, food coupons no tires,on and on govt controle and the media,movies
, radio all controlled pluss someone went to fight in your family no questions asked. What I am alluding to is today you can get on a pod cast and do something about the trends toward world War. Don't forget ww2 was the only time fisionable materials were ever used in a war and we did it.
I was stationed at a SAC base on the West Coast in the mid-70s. We were about 7 minutes away from SLBM attack, so we didn't kid ourselves that we would survive. Oh, the alert bombers would likely have taken off, but that might have been it for survivors. One of the sergeants in my unit said if we took a hit, we'd probably set the Central Valley on fire.
On the other hand I live in Ushuaia, Argentina.
We are going to freeze and starve to death.
Scary times to live in. It is indeed really a matter of power. We may face the doom that we created, bad thing is this could be anytime.
You’d think by now we could develop safer bombs.
The nuclear arms race is like two sworn enemies standing waist deep in gasoline, one with three matches, the other with five.
Fun fact: It doesn't matter how many of us know about it (we all do btw) we're not the ones making this destructive decision anyway 🤷🏼♂️
Exactly, As a Waste of time trying to convince those have planned the evil plan already on the move
Fun fact: Big countries have the advantage during nuclear war over smaller countries because it only take 1 Tsar bomb to obliterate the smaller country but not so with the bigger country since it has a bigger land mass.
Fun fact: Nuclear war is kind of fun because you don't know who died first.
that final phrase is only there to get more views 🤬😪
Living in a democratic country , selecting your your leader still denying the responsibilities.😢 just dont elect the crocks .
Because of the psychopaths in the pentagon, I don’t think humanity has a good chance of long-term survival.

We must be crazy to think we can outlive earth and we can destroy it. We destroy only ourselves. Earth will be here billions of years after humans are extinct. Let's be realistic. We have not yet explored the deepest oceans to say nuclear winter will end. It will end the human race only and that's very certain.
Planet is ok. But we are fucked.

Nuclear war!? There goes my career!!
How would it affect me personally? Being in a major city, the EMP would interrupt my CZcams viewing, then I’d be somewhere in the upper atmosphere.
Yes the question itself is almost insultingly moronic.
I live in the countryside, but if it seems like MAD seems inevitable, I will go to a major city and just wait.
@@francisdec1615 Or you could move to Australia
I'd grab an ice cold Ginger Ale, find a nice comfortable lounge chair, sit back, and wait for the greatest fireworks show in history. There's no point in preparing. It's not going to be a world you'd want to live in, even if you could somehow survive. Starvation, radiation poisoning, and a world covered in ash doesn't sound very appealing. I'll take that Ginger Ale and count down the minutes.
The "show" will burn your retinas out.

I find it interesting how we all take for granted that any humans would survive at all. Wishful thinking is baked into our thought processes as humans.
I’m of the belief that it’s in EVERYONE’S best interest to stay away from starting another war because the world will be absolutely destroyed
Putin didn't get your memo
The leaders in China and Russia have different ideas. They are willing to let millions of their people die (China has too many to feed anyway) and I really believe they think they can take over America without nuking us. The thousands of illegal military-age young men that have crossed our border will be put to use disarming America and making sure our nukes and planes don't get off the ground. People with guns may be able to fight off some of them but we'll probably all die fighting for our country. Thanks, Joe, for letting all those illegals in.
Tell that to the Russians.
@@8is The USA will start it. They start all wars for profit.

We never learned from the mistake of the past. We only learn when it's too late

Thats why we need to nuke the earth
People either did not learned or did but they forgot. What nuclear weapon is, what happened to Japan and which countries have them in large stockpile seem to be completely unknown to masses in today's age, especially in today's conflicts.

So this is what you call the nuclear winter
Human beings will never be convinced to live in peace.
I had a couple of dreams that, due to human nature, nuclear war is inevitable. Someone or some people in positions of power are going to get out of control and push that button, and we are all going to pay the price. Life is so short, you have no idea how short life truly is.
Same when I was in my teens. Horrifying. 😊
life is ok in the flash bunkers they have
Me too. Three nukes that were able to change course flying over my Western Canada home all heading to the United States.
The fourth angel sounded his trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them turned dark. A third of the day was without light, and also a third of the night.

Truly frightening prospect and yet no-one is prepared to give peace a chance
evil's taking over, completely. Look who's running this world.
Peace can only come from divine intervention or the people dismantling all government across the globe. Good luck with both.
Cause people in power are mostly a bunch of psychopaths regardless of the form of government.

@@Zerospawnn nether does the killing of innocent men, women and children
awesome bro
i wouldn't take getting killed by a nuclear attack personally because I would be dead
It's up to older people to share what they felt growing up in that insane period, the Cold war with it's very close by threat of annihilation. I still remember the attack sirens being tested, our family was in the BEF zone in Germany. It was -we may as well marry soon as we don't know if we'll be here much longer. Half our society probably has latent PTSD because of how bad it was..
My language arts teacher is from Germany and told us all about it. It sounds extremely scary
It was, we were in Minden which was a garrison town and it wasn't unusual to see fleets of tanks on their trailers. My dad ran a workshop for Chieftain maintenance, came home in a full NBC suit and frightened the life out of us..but that's what they were training for, nuclear, biological and chemical warfare@@superhall911
Damn! That's So Scary 😳
"This is the sound. When you hear the air attack warning. You and your family must take cover." 😢
I grew up in Germany as my dad was in the forces I too remember the sirens being tested and counting out 3 hoping not to hear a 4th!! At the time I was under 10 years old, plus having to check under the car for IRA car bombs, now I think back it was scary ..... yet normal!?!?! Which is wierd!!
I think the term "Global Apocalypse" is self explanatory. And considering the extremely dubious mental states of the governments and military leaders of both nations, it could well be on the cards.
As much as I agree generally, it's not about leaders only. If we refer to the US and Russia, there's still plenty of contacts in intelligence, despite visible escalation. As much as the world wants to introduce the Scary Russia™ brand again, it's a third existential threat to humanity at best. Still a lot of trouble, but there are really more important problems than US - Russia relationships.
@@dmitryburlakov6920 Russia IS scary - but only to its own citizens and any former Soviet Republics within reach of its murderous government and military. Otherwise it is and always has been a paper tiger. The extremely belligerent US government and military are somewhat more of a danger to the rest of the world. But yes there are other equally important problems as well.
@@TheRealRedAce not sure how the same thing is a paper tiger and an existential threat at once in one but alright.
@@TheRealRedAce I think that's the "silver lining" if you can call it that of the Ukraine war. It really has proved beyond all doubt that Russia's military is less technologically advanced and much less organised/much more badly run than was widely believed before the war. All credit to the Ukrainians of course, but before the Russian invasion started most people in the west would have agreed with Russia's belief that they would win the war with Ukraine in a matter of days. The truth has turned out to be very different. It is patently obvious that the Russian army is far too weak to even come close to winning any sort of conventional war with Nato so their only threat would be Nuclear (and if they went down that route, they lose as well as this video aptly points out- and the west has been explicit that they do not seek to remove Putin from power thus trying to ensure he doesn't feel cornered into doing just that). As such they aren't a likely/immediate threat to any Nato country.
@@pjs232 There's a world outside NATO. And being as Putin is as mad as a hatter, would he worry about losing? Then we have the USA's extreme belligerence, militarism and paranoia.

After nuclear winter, which could last for up to 100 years, you'll have ultra violent summer... just as scary
Apparently this might not happen tho
Nuclear charges will also fly to Australia and Japan, they did not take into account.
Is there any possibility of drone swarms instead? Or the use of MOAB instead of nukes? Would laser guided weapons be used from space instead of nukes?
@@FlambartPhotography well, a cruise missile is also a drone, it's just that evolution has made it smaller and some have become with propellers
MOAB is very heavy, thermonuclear warhead is much lighter and can wipe out any city from the face of the earth
in the scenario of a global conflict, there is a possibility of using cobalt warheads, which create a deadly radiation contamination for 50 years the size of half a state, which is why you can’t eat and drink in this territory, as well as grow food and generally stay
A better way is to not engage a dangerous country with flex of might . Seems that’s not our policies .

Why are we so idiots to destroy each other?
They must be banned and only used collectively against asteroids and such. Humanity is simply not mature enough to handle these weapons.
What about aliens? can we use them against attacking aliens, or just asteroids? What about our spaceships? can we use them to build spaceships? BTW, if nukes are used on asteroids it only breaks them into smaller and more dangerous pieces which will still hit the Earth.
@@outerrealm There ain't no damn aliens coming. We need to ban nukes before it's too late.
Yeah right. If you can ban nukes, then you can ban drones, cruise missles, artillery and bullets. 😒😒🙄🙄
a ban would never work and would just make great power war much more likely. nukes make the outcome of a great power war incredibly devastating, but that itself keeps it from ever happening. remove nukes and a conventional great power war like ww2 becomes increasingly likely
