There needs to be a correction - nuclear devices actually require a VERY specific set of circumstances to actually have a meaningful effect.

I'm reminded of the many discussions I've had with folks over the concept of people stating what they would do in a fight. The truth of the matter is that it's all good until it isn't. Meaning that you won't know how you'll react until you're in it, and you won't know what the outcome is until it's over. 9 years on the streets doing my best to live like a civilized animal and dealing with all sorts of encounters, I learned that circumstances are the most deciding factors. My state of mind, their state of mind, the setting, the time of day, the danger involved.. These are just the basics. The more people/factions involved the more complicated it gets. 9 years+ homeless before I found my way off the streets, and never a single bad encounter with law enforcement amongst the many I had. Attitude and circumstance. Have a good attitude and don't put yourself in a bad circumstance. This simple yet effective strategy worked for me in the worst of situations, and I encourage anyone facing insurmountable odds to not give up hope and stay determined to see light at the end of your tunnel. God bless!

A common mistake made by many is that they believe the tactical nuclear warheads have lower yields than the strategic nuclear warheads. But the differentiation factor really is the range: long than 5500km, it is called the strategic weapons, including nuclear bombers that can fly longer assisted by fuel tankers, with cruise missiles. If something is less than 5500km, it is typically tactical.

While in Army Reserves during Desert Storm, a Patriot shot down a SCUD and the debris fell directly onto the makeshift barracks being used by the 99th Quartermasters out of Greensburg, PA, who we shared a base with. Relatively speaking, they took more casualties than any other unit during the entire conflict. We need better air defense, big time.

[@Utubesuperstar]

[@curtisthomas2670]

Once read an article that said the technology to effectively and reliably defend a country against the current crop of missiIes and those in development will not come about during the lifetime of most people alive today, that defense tech against missiles is decades behind missile tech and the gap is constantly increasing in favor of missiles, the main reasons being because the costs for missile defense tech far exceeds offense tech. They also said that all defense tech tests have been highly controlled or simulations that did not factor in enough variables as much of the potential variables are unknown.

[@Dara-ih6jq]

That’s like asking if a bulletproof vest can stop getting attacked with bullets…. Yes but it can be overwhelmed with numbers or if the bullet is moving fast enough or is big and powerful enough it can get through.

[@Dillpickle1997]

Agreed. That and just because I have one on doesn't mean I wanna be shot.

[@CurrentlyOffliner]

Yes good example and also there is diffrent kinds of bullets for example armor piercing or soft point. Simillar nukes comes with various ways it can be torpedo it can be misille it can shot from silo it can be shot from jet it can be shot from submarine. Multiple can be shot at the same time , ıt can be shot with multiple dummies goes on and on basically considering how devestating these weapons are there is no effective way to stop them completely even if couple gets past thats disaster. Video usually talks about ballistic misilles but underwater stealth nuclear torpedos exist (poseidon bomb) and if air defence get overwhelmed or destroyed jets can drop nukes as well even with anti air there is no guarantee you can stop multiple jets coming to drop nukes. Finally strongest bomb tested (Tsar bomb) from 1960 and it literally can cause disaster , again thats from 1960 not all info is shared who knows what kinda weapons of mass destruction there is you shouldn't bet your chances of defending against them.

@@sebi1114 Yes because weapons technology stops with walls because there’s nothing that can defeat the wall 😂😂😂…. The point I’m trying to make is that whatever defense you come up with there’s a way to come around it or overwhelm it nothing is 100% guaranteed except death and taxes.

There's an international treaty prohibiting placing weapons in continuous orbit. While communications/spy satellites are OK, lasers probably aren't (I don't feel like Googling to figure out).

[@ElessarUSMC]

Power systems are too big. Starlink satellites are very small, that's why they're so cheap. They're planned obsolescent. They'll die or fall out of the sky within 10y and be replaced because they're cheap. A space based laser satellite would have to be up there for decades. A lot of what made Starlink cheap doesn't work under that requirement.

[@Quantikk]

I bet there are hidden capabilities on starlink that act in concert with the US anti-missile shield. I mean, if they are already putting lasers on ships it means they are already up there in orbit. Probably a whole class of stealth satellites in orbit right now.

[@jordanscherr6699]

It boils down to how much "heat up time" there is before full on Nuclear war hits. IF that's the case, we can safely say that at least some small part of the states would survive the onslaught, at least initially. Which? Easily the most strategically important ones. I.E. if there's a buildup and prep for war with ultra-spiking tensions, then the army's going to prioritize the location it needs to keep fighting war. P.S. The recent "I survived 100 days" series is based on a surprise war. I.E. one where there isn't an initial buildup. That helps to focus the storytelling on the communities, not the political spectrum. But the truth is probably more complicated, with the signs and initial tensions spiking in short order. Hence a brief, but real prep phase where neither party is truly ready, nore "entirely" unprepared. Hence prioritization.

1:15 There is one scenario that I've never seen discussed which I was told to me by a retired Russian intel officers who now runs a small business in the US. If an invasion happened and Russia saw no alternative, it has a plan on the books to nuke itself, creating a defensive ring of nuclear wasteland along it's own border, perhaps even destryoying an incoming enemy army. The plan as told to me is to create a radioactive no-mans-land that would be difficult for armies to cross and give Russia enough time to build up defenses along this new border. As this would be a defensive action not an offensive action, there would be no justification for global nuclear war in response and it would protect Russia from invasion for a long, long time. It's possible that NATO could create systems that are radiation resistant in order to cross this new radioactive wasteland, but in that time the idea is that Russia would then have enough time to build up defenses. He told me the idea seemed insane to him because Russias neighbor would be upset with the nuclear fallout downwind, but in a no-win scenario, sometimes you take the option that makes you lose the least. During WW2, when the Germans invaded, I think we both know Stalin would have used nukes inside Russia to destroy the German army if he had them.

What bothers me is that yes if you're lucky enough to survive the blast, you'll need to grow food, but you can't because the fallout inhibits plant growth and any vegetables that manage to grow will be radioactive. Any food from the shops will be highly contested for with aggressive lethal attacks likely as families compete for survival. So all you'll do is starve anyway. Maybe an underground bunker powered with solar panels and uv lamps inside to grow plants to eat whilst near a flowing stream in the mountains for good water

[@edreusser4741]

I am glad Russia's objection to installing anti-missile sites in Poland was brought up in this article. That reminds me of one more thing the US needs to do soonest. Russia's veto power over US actions has vanished as if it had never existed. We should install antimissile platforms everywhere.

[@georganatoly6646]

imo 2 plausible cases of Russia using some kind of wmd, a) some set of errors, 2) Ukraine is able mount a meaningful offensive into Crimea or some other area Russia legally (from Russia's perspective) annexed and therefore can claim there's a legitimate existential threat (from Russia's perspective) to the state itself

[@connorkenway09]

Exactly what I'm thinking. Putin is waiting for Ukraine's counteroffensive to regain Crimea to use an excuse to use nukes. My guess is they wouldn't even use them against NATO military camps but against Kyiv. To make a threat so gruesome that the world would have to chose between granting his wishes or accepting greater casualties. The ultimate bluff by the most desperate of madmen. I really hope that Ukraine is already equipped to stop such missile strikes or will soon be provided the systems they need. Either way Russia is doomed.

[@panpiper]

It is worth pointing out that nuclear weapons require maintenance. You do not build one, put it in a missile, then park it for thirty years and expect it to work with the push of a button. Given the insane state of disrepair and unpreparedness the rest of the Russian military has demonstrated, I consider it highly likely that many of the Russian ICBMs would fail to deliver their payloads (for a multitude of causes) and that the majority of the nuclear weapons that were nonetheless delivered would fail to detonate. Furthermore, given that you do NOT win a nuclear war by targeting cities, but rather by targeting your enemy's ability to retaliate, the vast majority of what nukes 'would' detonate would be over military targets or otherwise very sparsely populated areas. Such an exchange would be devastating to all participants, but I strongly suspect that the US would survive. Their enemies, not so much.

[@petersinclair3997]

Both Kennedy and Khrushchev were concerned about SLBMs. Short response time. They said these missiles should not be used, to preserve their respective governments. (SALT)

[@tacticalmattress]

Short answer, It's a yes and no answer. We would be able to intercept long range bombers and the high yield bombs as their delivery methods are rathed slow. Low yield warheads are the bigger problem for either side in reality. Large yield bombs would be saved by either side until radar and other defense systems are rendered useless. People would survive, but probably not for long. Devastating for the entire planet.

So I have a question for a chemical weapons expert. You mentioned VX. I have read a bit on the chemical agents VX, Sarin, and Tabun. One of the things I've read is, as deadly as these chemicals are, they all have a fatal flaw in that they don't pass through the skin very easily. This is why the March 1995 Tokyo Subway Sarin Attack only killed 13 people. Now, from what I've read, the drug fentanyl has no such problem with this. So my question is: Why don't militaries start using fentanyl as a chemical weapon? This would have a few affects: First, it would be the most effective, deadliest, and nicest weapon of war imaginable (no other weapon kills you while making you feel good). Second, it would allow the drug to be classified as a chemical weapon subjecting it's use and transfer to laws written into the geneva convention giving much more serious consequences to dealers and producers. Third, any use or spill would be self cleaning since addicts would rush in to start extracting every bit from the dirt, foliage, and whatever else the agent landed on. Fourth, (this may be a good or bad thing) it has an antidote. Am I wrong about any of this or are there things that I have not considered?

[@tattooedtexasnurse]

My question to you is fentanyl is used in the hospital and prehospital setting so making it something used in chemical warfare how would that work for continued use in healthcare

[@abramrexjoaquin7513]

A nuclear bomb that creates an emp shot first in space. And then when systems are down fires. Here's the problem. Russia's Tech are not updated due to the brain drain that happened in Russia after the generation of the USSR died down and the new generation were more capitalist and went to the west for a better life. Here's my proposal. An IRON DOME similar to the U.S sponsored IRON DOME in israel, in all coasts and northern border up to the Arctic border as the edge of the dome. U.S knows where the Nukes will be fired from. If the NAVY intercept an Atlantic Sea Launch it will be close enough to easily counteract. Land based launches will come from deep within Russia to not be intercepted by low altitude flight patrols. At that point the U.S will have an idea where the Launch came from and can triangulate it's trajectory. A missile with a shotgun defense capability akin to a NET or WALL of Explosives in the air would create that iron dome. Basically... Russia already lost when they didn't have anyone competent in their technology division. Attacking Ukraine is their last ditch effort for a Russian foothold. If they lose Ukraine (which they're almost at the precipice) their diplomatic and geopolitical power will be moot. The U.S has been busy with their military industry complex.

I'm still trying to figure out .. with the spin of the earth..

Why not just shoot the missile straight up out if the "atmosphere" and then just wait till the target spins under it and it releases by (gravity once past the nogravity spot).

[@MysticYT925]

That’s not how that works dude… when an object takes off from earth it carries the same momentum the earth had. It’s why you can jump into the air and not get flung away at 1000mph. Just because you go into space doesn’t mean that you just instantly lose any momentum the object once had.

I agree with your conclusion that there is little hope of surviving a nuclear exchange. Even if just one megaton nuclear bomb detonates on American soil it would be devastating. I believe most of the Russian nuclear bombs are in the 20 megaton ton range. Therefore it is still crazy to even think about winning a nuclear war, because everyone on the planet would loose if we have one. The Mutually Assured Destruction or MAD is the only way to think of a nuclear exchange!

[@user-bz9sj8mh5d]

Russia doesn't deploy anything near 20 megatons. Most of their warheads are in the 550kt to 1.2mt range. The US's warheads are the same. It's far more effective to use multiple smaller yield warheads than one large one, for multiple reasons.
