I love that video..

A 80s classic I remember sleeping with Dawn that night in Vegas

This movie needs updating, or at least revamped and put into theaters.

Prep your basements now. Stock up your basements with food, bedding, water, light sources, weapons, ammo, first aid and whatever else you and your family might need to survive down there for weeks or longer, after a local nuclear impact. A good portable toilet and gravity shower are also a plus. Odds are it will never happen—nuclear war—but why not be prepared for it ahead of time?

15-30 minutes (missile flight time from mainland Russia or Russian subs/ships

15 minutes for fallout to begin snowing down to the ground after nuclear detonation

24 hours minimum time sheltering in an underground location, such as a basement after impact

meh.

I've always felt that prepping is a waste of time and money.

I ain't going to live on a planet the folks launch such madness on.

I remember watching this on television back when there were only Five channels and you could still but a black and white tv brand new...



I didn't know they played it in Soviet Russia in 1987 with the original script translated to Russian, uninterrupted and without commentary...

Much better than "The Day After" or .. the British equivalent "Threads" ...

 

[Votto]

That simulation is nothing

Here is a democrat winning elections simulation that has come true

That's terrifying. No one would have time to even catch a plane to S. America.

A lot of times prepping is just something that makes you feel safe and ready but the reality is it won't matter.

To protect against ambient radiation you would need considerable concrete to protect against it, you'd have to seal your house from the fallout, and even if you came out radiation can last as long as 5 years and anything not destroyed was be irritated like ground water and food. Then you have prevailing winds that will carry the fallout and radiation to further areas.

Then you have to contend with other people looking to take your shit. And you have to deal with there are no hospitals, if you have a compound fracture you're a dead man more than likely. Animals not killed aren't fit to eat as they die from radiation posining.

Plus you have the psychological damage nuclear war inflicts. Even people who consider themselves a hard ass would break under the pressure or suffer deep depression.

Unless you live out in the total middle of nowhere a 100 miles from even a small city you're shit out of luck. And even those folks are in for some rough times.

You are sooo correct. In fact, you're almost better off if you get close to the blast and end it then and there. Or put a bullet in your head. Exposure to the radiation is a death sentence. Even if it's cancer in 5 years or less. I'd rather just die before going through all of that.

1. From "War Games", The only way to win is not to play...
2. There is no "limited nuclear strike" because ICBMs would need to launch before the other's nukes hit, it was called "use them or lose them", so any nuclear war would end civilization.
3. What life would survive on earth? It used to be said that only cockroaches would survive.
4. What's really scary is how many times we came close to nuclear war, brrr.
5. Putin is getting crazier and crazier, now he's going to "cleanse" Russia of all opposition.
6. He really needs a bullet in the head ASAP.

Vegas would be toast as it is home to the Premier Air Force fighter squadrons at Nellis AFB. And Vegas Valley is shaped like a bowl.
