Today we’re going explore the unthinkable: How would the United States respond during a Nuclear conflict?
When we first came up with this concept, we aimed to cover the America's Nuclear Triad and it's Russian Nuclear War Plan in one concise video, but one video turned into three. So here's full version of "How Would the United States Fight a Nuclear War?" as it was originally intended. Enjoy!

40 years ago I was a US Air Force pneumatic/hydraulic technician on the Titan II ICBM in the Wichita Kansas area. Our shop not only repaired hydraulic functions on the missile but also the pop-up antenna (that automatically raised after a nuclear attack), plus the locking lugs on the blast doors (these were the huge doors made of ferro-reinforced concrete in between the silo and the launch crew area to protect the crew long enough to turn the keys and launch the missile). Since our job was only to make sure the "bird" would actually work if the nuclear apocalypse happened, the Air Force taught us absolutely nothing about surviving a nuclear war, probably since it was pointless, and that was fine by me. Because one thing I realized on my own right away about surviving a nuclear war, is that I have no interest in surviving a nuclear war.

There will be no winners - mankind will have been destroyed for low motives of pretentious powerful minorities on highest technical level.

And mind you - this change by a nuclear war is not one of years, but of a few weeks. What is to be expected, I suppose, from an "intelligent" species that has taken from powerful minorities as an apparently reasonable price for the assertion of competing claims to power by means of the ready kept and well-behaved modernized nuclear arsenals of mass destruction with irreversible extinction in a nuclear holocaust and the following nuclear winter ?

[@johnstephanos1128]

There's no chance that the US or Russia would engage in a nuclear war due to the harmful impact it would have on people and the environment. Despite possessing thousands of nuclear weapons, they could only safely use a small portion of them. This is because nuclear blasts would lead to a drop in global temperature, caused by burning cities and soot blocking sunlight. This would result in food shortages and a severely damaged atmosphere. In the event of multiple nuclear strikes, cities would burn, and the resulting smoke would block sunlight for decades, leading to worldwide food shortages and starvation.

[@letsplaywar]

While traditional agriculture heavily relies on sunlight for photosynthesis, there are alternative methods for food production that do not require direct sunlight. Indoor farming techniques such as hydroponics, aquaponics, and vertical farming can be implemented in controlled environments like underground bunkers or buildings with artificial lighting. These methods allow for the cultivation of various crops without relying on natural sunlight. Additionally, efforts to develop lab-grown or synthetic food products are ongoing, which could provide alternative sources of nutrition in post-nuclear scenarios.

As someone who grew up during the cold war many of the comments are terrifying. When I was young no one ever said a nuclear war might be a positive thing, ever. We had respect for the tragedy that would be.We put value in life. All life including human. No one who had any love of this planet and the life on it ever suggested the world would be better off after a nuclear war, no one. What is in the minds of today's youth that they would conclude a nuclear war would reduce the human population therefore the Earth would be better off? If the Earth would fare better with fewer people then maybe it's these homicidal sociopaths who should leave first.

[@seanmg-_-1138]

I mean the world would be better off with less people. But not caused in a situation like this that’s just nuts. Maybe by limiting the number of children you can have. The planet is way overpopulated and it’s still growing. What’s gonna happen when we bleed this planet and it’s resources dry? Something is gonna happen eventually that’s going to be devastating to humanity either caused by us or by our lack of change/actions we didn’t take.

[@mike6335]

Birth rates in the US have been in massive decline since the 70’s. Many countries including the US are at a negative birth rate. Last I looked the US is right below 2 births per woman. China is under extreme pressure because of their old birth policy. Last I checked They were at a 3 child policy because their replacement rates were not sustainable. These are just two examples of many. It’s a common misunderstanding that is repeated.
