Welcome to my World. Fifty years ago, at the age of 14, my Father took me to his workplace. He was a civilian engineer for subs. It was an open house for sailors and civilian workers involved in maintenance. Standing next to the compartments that held the ICBMs changed my life. About a year after that I decided not to have kids. Then I joined the military and worked in the weapon field for years. Your conversation at the strategic level wasn't anything new to me. You have no idea what the day to day life was like. Just as disturbing. Being next to B-52s with more TNT equivalent than was dropped in WW2 was enlightening. Standing next to one weapon with the TNT equivalent of 18 Billion pounds was scary. I have lived with this stuff in my head for decades. Never goes away.

[@user-lc4sq6xp7z]

Thank you for the information. But I am trying to love life. I find myself wondering. I'm 74. Will my life end naturally or will I witness this insane human blunder?

Russia will be forced by NATO. America has been poking this bear for far too long. America is the antagonists in every war. There was no reason for America to push NATO into independent countries. But they wanted this war with Russia. So Putin warned them. And he has never bluffed yet. So when Putin warms it will nuke Ukraine or Britain, it would be stupid not to take it seriously. But that's exactly what America is doing.

Yea for sure we don’t need to fear because if it’s meant to be it will surely be so why live everyday in fear, nuclear war is not a matter of “ if it is going to happen “ the question is “ when will it happen “ . I think more wise and reasonable people need to have more power in the decisions that our leaders make, sometimes I wonder if our leaders are doing these intentionally or just been childish or if they don’t really know what they are doing, these leaders will hide in their underground bunkers when nuclear war breaks out, we need to stop this madness or innocent people will suffer and die for what they don’t even know about, these governments have nuclear weapons that can destroy a whole country in just 6 hours killing billions of people, like why do you even have such destructive weapon in the first place? Why ? For all we know if a nuclear war breaks out, then that’s the end of humanity cos just the radioactive dust and fallout will spread to every fucking corner of the globe. No wonder they wanna go to mars😂 they wanna go to mars so they can destroy earth, all the energy u gon put in going to mars why don’t you put half of that energy to earth, and make it a better place for every one.

For me , the scariest thing about this book and all it’s revelations, is that it’s a revelation to everyone! I grew up in the 80’s and I can assure you that all this information was available back then , from the triad to EMP to launch on warning to MIRVs to Nuclear Winter , some of this stuff was known back in the early 60’s !!! It scares me how quickly people and nations forget this danger. Every one should have to watch the following three films from the 80’s The Day After 1983 Threads 1984 When The Wind Blows 1986 Then makes sure your leaders have seen them too. The only revelation I had not considered is that land based US ICBMs would have to cross Russian air space to reach North Korea.. though I’m sure a ship launched cruise missile or ballistic submarine might solve that problem. If we can’t get on as a species and we let this happen, the world will be scorched and diminished for about a thousand years then it will adapt and go on with your the human race. We could have gone to the stars but instead we did this to ourselves! I wonder why we never find signals from advanced civilisations in our galaxy ?

[@robertmendick3195]

In a nuclear exchange, all power plants will immediately trip off-line including nuclear power plants meaning no more grid. Now the nuclear power plants must rely on their emergency diesel generators to maintain cooling of the reactor cores. Do the nuclear plants have enough diesel fuel for the many days it takes to safely cool down their reactor cores?....If not and a meltdown occurs, the radioactivity released such as what happened at Fukushima or the explosion at Chernobyl, is many 1000s the amount that a weapon would release. Another concern is the radioactive substances released from a meltdown are dangerous for a much longer time than that from a weapon detonation.

[@taras3702]

Many if not ALL nuclear power plants would be attacked with nuclear weapons to create massive nuclear fallout.

[@BrianMarcus-nz7cs]

That's the good news,😮

[@blitzmom2674]

diesels are slow and hard to start and in cold weather those old diesel generators are lucky to start at all. Add all the used fuel sitting in cooling ponds on site because there's no safe storage for used nuclear fuel (nor safe transport to get it to a non existent safe storage) and you've got a major problem at every nuclear plant. Look what happened at Fukushima. Four reactors with containment vessels cracked from LOCA hydrogen exposions. And leaking continuously into the environment.

[@jrhamilton4448]

Yes, a reactor meltdown is a situation where you're talking about the land surrounding the plant for miles being irradiated for millennia.

[@robertmendick3195]

@@jrhamilton4448 For the survivors fortunate to have a shelter, the radioactivity from the weapons' fallout will be largely diminished after 14 days.

The survivors in those areas will have to relocate.

The big issue with EMP is the millions of miles of transmission lines strung across the continet, all interconnected acting as massive antennas. The Electromagnetic radiation will induce huge currents in the cables, overloading transformers and switchgear, literally burning up transmission lines etc. The currents will flow through anything connected to the grid. Depending on the strength of the field in your area, your cellphone or laptop may survive provided it was not plugged in, however there would be no infrastructure left for them to be useful. The EMP will also excite the ionosphere and knock out long range HF radio communications for some time after the event, just like in a solar storm. Keep couple two way radios handy, they will likely be usefull after the atmospheric diaturbances have calmed down.

You seriously think that? There's a big difference between one Bomb going off and there being months or years between another detonation and over 3000 going off all at once. Plus, tests weren't conducted on full scale cities with millions of people in - there were no ensuing firestorms that grew and spread and linked up with adjacent cities also being incinerated that and sending the ashes into the stratosphere. There weren't millions of square miles on fire during tests.

If you wrap small electronic Items, with 4 layers of Thick silver cooking foil. It could block an EMP? You can put your Mobile in the Microwave, it acts like a Faraday cage. (in seconds) Tell your family to do the same. If your left alone, it might work? As you get an Emergency Warning - take it out after the nukes Stop? You can fill the Bath with Water, before the water pipes fracture. To drink. Or you could jump into the Bath to avoid fire? You really need to be 5 miles from the Blast Wave. It just increases your chance of Survival. If I can just save a few lives - with water to drink from your bath. I can't say nothing. I hope this helps people. But you would need it, until the Nuke EMP

Tried some 7 year past BB date Instant Tapioca. Made some vanilla tapioca pudding. Worked fine, tasted great. It was stored in the cardboard box it came in. Vacuum sealing may be better for storage, but don't know if it is needed. Might be good to add tapioca to your preps for a treat.

Tell me something I don't know about this subject; it's been rehashed and talked about for a long time. OPPENHEIMER! John Hersey, ad Infante item.

Can you tell if an earthquake is an actual earthquake or is it an underground nuclear attack? Think which countries have had massive earthquakes lately hay ?

[@linmal2242]

Scientists know.

[@kevinsharp-kn7rm]

Hard to fire a missile underground

[@Barbarian_6]

It's a completely different signature and vibration. All the earthquake sensors would know the difference. Also the depth. An underground nuclear detonation is going to be extremely shallow compared to most earthquakes.

[@oysterman962]

So US citizens can prepare their bunkers. It's more likely that the US president will fire first. The crazy leaders are in the west. They're paranoid bullies.

@@Peekaboo-Kitty That's why there won't be a nuclear war until the corrupt governments work out how to inhabit space. Then they'll escape and blow up the planet.

[@michaelwaters8879]

While Annie did make note of decoy warheads, I’m a little surprised that she did not address ICBM’s carrying MIRV warheads Multiple Independently-targeted Reentry Behicles are middles carrying anywhere from 4 to10 nuclear warheads, each of which can be programmed to hit a different site. To me this seems to negate any “iron dome” shield or ability to intercept o incoming nuclear .weaponry.

They took down the Georgia guidestones. One of the statements had to do with losing some massive amount of the world population. Funny thing is, the most efficient winds up being very high altitude bursts and resulting EMPs.

Pathetic that those brilliant brainiacs of inhumanity had that mind of inventive evil existing within, then have the audacity to label their destructive creations as peacekeepers.Todays desensitized video gamers spend countless hours killing people and blowing things to kingdumb come inside their virtual cyber realities.

That's why you take precautions those things don't happen. Potassium iodide, food and water for at least two weeks so you stay inside through the Balfour time from post-explosion.

*everyone is missing the point. food comes oil. Powered tractors, farm equipment, trucks and processing equipment.

How do you think we went from 500M people to 7 billion people in only the last 230 years??? OIL OIL OIL!!!! Oil IS how all FOOD gets to our tables with such ease!!!!*

[@dreamingwolf8382]

So, as far as DTRA, they don't Just deal with nuclear arsenals, but also All armaments. Specifically keeping track of stockpiles. We would allow the Russian's access to see for themselves what we have on hand (ok, you have x number of jeeps, tanks, etc etc etc in this warehouse as reported), and vice versa We would be allowed to check on Their stockpiles. (Ok, it says on this report that you're supposed to be keeping 80 million rounds in this depot, but we only counted 78 million. so where did the rest get put). But, unfortunately, that resiprocity hasn't been in use since the mid 20 teens. (The 2014 annexation of crimea was the beginning of the end for that).
