    A nuclear bomb is the most devastating explosion ever created.
    One bomb can end tens of thousands of lives immediately and
    hundreds of thousands through the radioactive aftermath. However,
    the worst part comes afterward: a nuclear winter that might kill billions,
    potentially leading to the complete collapse of our civilization.
    In a nuclear winter, there are no winners - only starving losers.
    How exactly does it work and what would it look like?

    "On the Beach" is an apocalyptic novel published in 1957, written by British author Nevil Shute after he emigrated to Australia. The novel details the experiences of a mixed group of people in Melbourne as they await the arrival of deadly radiation spreading towards them from the Northern Hemisphere, following a nuclear war some years previous. As the radiation approaches, each person deals with impending death differently.

      Having these titanic arsenals requires maintenance and supply logistics, which is an industry of big, big money in the hands of very few people. All the STS and general DoD folk are essentially minimum wage slave labor, while fantastically well paid contractors slowly eat more and more funding.
      The use of Nuclear Weapons has never been the point. We always fear it, but that fear is itself part of the money making equation and the perfect culpability shield. They never intend to use them, but instead continue increasing stockpiles, and that is increasing the absurd wealth these systems funnels from public to private hands.
      That's the real war currently ongoing, and we've been losing it for 60 years.

      Not only that but the people manufacturing and stock piling these weapons are fully aware of what would happen if they ever used them and yet they continue to make more and are increasingly making more threats involving them. Like I don't care who you are or what country you come from but it's in none of our interests to go to nuclear war it's literally just the politicians being small minded. Like I can understand going to conventional war because I'm joining the marines but nuclear war makes no sense to me.

      The world is racing toward "AMAGEDDON" !!! And people need to get right with the Lord!
      If you have not read the books of (Daniel chapters 7-12), (Ezekiel chapters 37-39) (Matthew chapters 24:1-51 + 25:1-30), (1 Thessalonians chapters 1-5), (2 Thessalonians chapters1-3) and (Revelation chapters 6-19), now would be a good time. They will explain a lot about what is going on right now!
      These books will cover the "Wars" about to come, the Rapture, World judgement, hence the Tribulation and the Great Tribulation! These books will also be the most ominous and scary for the unbelievers and the most exciting and uplifting for those who believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior!...
      It is my hope and prayer that people would repent and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ before all these things take place, because it is going to be very, very scary if you do not and you decide to wait and see what happens.

      Paradoxically, the radiation left after an air-burst detonation of a nuclear weapon (which is likely how the vast majority of them would be used) is actually far lower and shorter time affecting than you'd expect.
      This is due to the fact that in an air-burst, the radioactive material is not intermixed with soil (like it would be if detonated on the ground), and so instead is spread (lessened in intensity) more easily. Also, the most radioactive decay products are indeed _so_ radioactive that they decay away in a matter of days and weeks.
      TL;DR: Hiroshima and Nagasaki could be rebuilt and resettled not terribly long after being bombed. It's not the radiation that makes the biggest problem after a nuclear exchange.

    • @yugido
      @yugido Před 10 dny

      Almost all bombs in arsenals today are thermonuclear designed to be air burst. This means there would be little to no radiated soil or water. Gamma radiation from the initial blast would dissipate very quickly. For the most part, you could go topside a few weeks after that blast and background radiation would be almost the same as before the blast. Western media(to Include games like fallout) often depict radiation issues from ground detonated bombs, which just aren't used anymore.

      Idk, the idea that humanity could survive ten years of winter seem plenty uplifting to me.
      Sure, most of us would be dead. But the species would endure.
      Essentially, we could survive our best attempts at destroying ourselves- and in a wierd way, that's actually reassuring.
      When you get right down to it, life on this tiny little mud ball we call Earth could be wiped out at any moment even if we never made a bad decision. A star could go super nova and hit us with X-rays, we could get hit with a decent sized rock, a critical species might die out do to something unforseen causing total ecosystem collapse. We could get exposed to the wrong kind of space dust. We could get hit by a gamma ray burst. There are probably plenty of ways we could get wiped out that we can't even concieve of.
      Life it fragile- and our planet is less than a speck compared to the rest of the cosmos. We could get snuffed out and no one out their would be the wiser- but at least knowing that it's unlikely that we will actually manage to completely destroy ourselves is nice.

(where there was a SAC B-52 Base): then (after Amarillo AFB Closure/ Deactivation) in Memphis, TN. (where the 3rd largest U.S. DoD Defense ( Strategic Supplies Stockpile) Depot was then). Both areas are on the Soviet/ Russian 1st Strike/ Priority Tagets List: I've lived most of my life "Under the Sword of Democles". When the Soviet Union collapsed, the Berlin Wall was destroyed, and the Warsaw Pact dissolved many of us in the West breathed a Giant Sigh of Relief.

      To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day
      Hardly spoke to folks around him, didn't have too much to say
      No one dared to ask his business, no one dared to make a slip
      For the stranger there among them had a big iron on his hip
      Big iron on his hip
      It was early in the morning when he rode into the town
      He came riding from the south side slowly lookin' all around
      He's an outlaw loose and running, came the whisper from each lip
      And he's here to do some business with the big iron on his hip
      Big iron on his hip
      In this town there lived an outlaw by the name of Texas Red
      Many men had tried to take him and that many men were dead
      He was vicious and a killer though a youth of 24
      And the notches on his pistol numbered one and 19 more
      One and 19 more
      Now the stranger started talking, made it plain to folks around
      Was an Arizona ranger, wouldn't be too long in town
      He came here to take an outlaw back alive or maybe dead
      And he said it didn't matter he was after Texas Red
      After Texas Red
      Wasn't long before the story was relayed to Texas Red
      But the outlaw didn't worry men that tried before were dead
      20 men had tried to take him, 20 men had made a slip
      21 would be the ranger with the big iron on his hip
      Big iron on his hip
      The morning passed so quickly, it was time for them to meet
      It was 20 past 11 when they walked out in the street
      Folks were watching from the windows, everybody held their breath
      They knew this handsome ranger was about to meet his death
      About to meet his death
      There was 40 feet between them when they stopped to make their play
      And the swiftness of the ranger is still talked about today
      Texas Red had not cleared leather 'fore a bullet fairly ripped
      And the ranger's aim was deadly with the big iron on his hip
      Big iron on his hip
      It was over in a moment and the folks had gathered round
      There before them lay the body of the outlaw on the ground
      Oh, he might have went on living but he made one fatal slip
      When he tried to match the ranger with the big iron on his hip
      Big iron on his hip
      Big iron, big iron
      When he tried to match the ranger with the big iron on his hip

      In the latest Scientific American there were some shocking simulations of how nuclear fallout from just ONE coordinated nuclear attack on US nuke silos would affect the radiation environment in the USA. Long story short - depending on the wind direction the "50-100% fatal" smoke plumes would either spread around to cover half of the continent or would form long smoke columns spreading from one end of America to the other. If that happens on a global scale the deadly radiation cloud would cover the entirety of the northern hemisphere and it would eventually also cross the equator. There is a story called "On the Beach" that discusses this scenario from the perspective of Melbourne (it was also adapted to 2 movies).

      @Josurr_Madhawk Před 10 dny

      Honestly, that completely depends on what nuclear weapons are used, as not all of them leave residual radiation. Lower yield Fission bombs tend to, or if they're designed to. Much more initially devastating hydrogen fusion bombs don't, typically. Also depends upon air detonation and wind patterns. Depending on a few factors, we could see radiation kill whole ecosystems that weren't hit directly by the bombs, cancer rates would skyrocket, and pockets of high concentration of radiation causing the typical radiation sickness. If the chernobyl site was hit by a bomb directly, it could reopen some major concerns and leave the vast majority of Europe completely uninhabitable.

You'd find more than enough functional pieces of machinery to rebuild a country from salvage work, and anything non functional is still often metal for the main important components so you can just reforge them anyway. The gigantic factories that have even larger machines would in fact survive, unless they were directly nuked.
      It's not a case of "we lose everything forever oh nooooooez" it's more of a case of if a nation has the endurance to survive the starvation period and salvage what they need from the dead zones before anyone else. Those who do, would become the new global superpower very quickly.
      You also have to keep in mind, the temperature around the equator will also drop to a comfortable level which means farming will boom there for a decade or two, which means these countries will have a boom of food and supplies. Which also means that when things stabilize they will also have a crash after the fact if they don't build an industrial base to maintain it before then

One really good example is a Russian officer on a submarine refused to launch nuclear torpedoes against the US Navy during the Cuban missile crisis. Then there was the Russian officer at a early warning site that picked up five incoming missiles. The warning was false, and attributed to flaws in the system. The world would be a very different place of those two men acted rather than thought things through. The world needs people who think before they act, not just automatically react to a threat, real or perceived.

      They don't think they can win, if they did then the war would have happened already.
      Also, it's not only up to the politicians to take on this decision, there's an entire chain of command that needs to approve the launch of the first volley of missiles before the presidents presses the big red button themselves.
      This is a strange game where the only winning move is not to play it.

      One thing I'll note for anyone who goes down the Prepper rabbit hole: A LOT of it, and I mean a LOT, is rooted in paranoid conspiracy theories, and is focused on preparing not so much for real-world-disaster scenarios but for disaster-movie scenarios. In particular, "prepper" materials tend to focus WAY too much time on how to defend yourself from hypothetical Mad Max esque roving gangs of raiders, as well as on hunting (which is only sustainable for a year tops in all but the most remote areas; if everyone hunts to survive, the wildlife population quickly collapses. Agriculture is an inescapable necessity for long-term survival), while spending much less time on the more mundane but infinitely more likely to be useful matters like treating disease or injuries without access to medical facilities, growing food without access to machinery or fertilizers, or working to rebuild communities.
      As a general rule--if the author of a book/article on survivalism has strong ties to any political movement, stay away.

      You're mistaking humanity's lack of desire to understand each other for inability to do so. We can all understand each other, but barriers like religion, language, culture and customs disallow nationalists from even considering it.
      Nuclear weapons are the greatest threat of our time, but nationalism is how we get to using them. Nationalism made Russia into the USSR, it's what makes China so dangerous, and it's what is currently fueling the wars between Russia/Ukraine, and India/Pakistan (also religion is a big part of that one)
      It's poisonous ideology, and exactly the kind of thing Republicans want you to adopt.
