With tensions between the US and Russia once more making the news, a refresher course those of us who came of age during the Cold War is in order. Planning to survive a nuclear war only makes us more complacent about the possibility. In effect, making one more likely. But those who think surviving it is a good idea are clearly ignorant of the facts and consequences of a nuclear exchange.

Surviving a nuclear war simply means you die from related effects like law and order breakdown and social chaos and anarchy, diseases only kept in check because of mdoern infrastructure which would end after a nuclear attack, starvation as things stop growing and being delivered to stores, etc.
Unless ok at the prospect of sitting in your fallout shelter for at least a few years, emerging too soon means you'll die from radiation. And once that's fallen to a suvivable level, you're still emerging into a 3rd world like country with rampant disease, anarchy and law of the jungle society, and a pretty bleak visual all around you.
Better perhaps than trying to plan ahead to survive such things is working to make sure it never happens through disarmament, and diplomacy and negotiation instead of relying on military might to get your way.
