Can you imagine what it would be like to literally starve to death? Most Americans believe that if a nuclear war with Russia actually happens the vast majority of the U.S. population will be instantly wiped out. But that is not what the science says. What the studies have shown is that only about 20 percent of the U.S. population will be instantly killed during a nuclear exchange. If you live near a military base or some other highly strategic target you will probably be among that 20 percent. Otherwise, it is likely that you will starve to death during the horrifying “nuclear winter” that follows.
A brand new study that was just released has concluded that average global temperatures would immediately drop by a whopping 13 degrees following a full-blown nuclear exchange…
Firestorms would release ash and smoke into the upper atmosphere that would block out the Sun, resulting in crop failure around the world, according to researchers from Louisiana State University. In the first month following these catastrophic detonations, average global temperatures would plunge by about 13 degrees Fahrenheit, more than during the most recent Ice Age.
With much less sunlight reaching the Earth, the food chains in our oceans would collapse very rapidly…
The sudden drop in light and sea temperatures, especially from the Arctic to the North Atlantic and North Pacific, would kill algae — the bedrock of the marine food web.
Researchers said that fishing and aquaculture would be halted by the creation of ‘essentially a famine in the ocean.’ And as average temperatures plummeted, very little would be able to be grown for an extended period of time….

They’ll die of thirst / dehydration before that.
Wait till BidenIdiot pulls the Dutch farmers BS on us and food prices go 1000+%....... /s
Mare than likely one would live only a few weeks in a world gone MAD
No nuclear war required kekw
Well since it would be mutually assured destruction the same would be true for Russia and most of Europe. So there’s that.
Thanks for the uplifting post. Guess I need to hurry and finish the shows I’ve been watching eh? You know, just in case Vlad gets to feelin’ his oats........... 🤣
Mad Max taught us that the ones who survive the longest will be the ones with the most guns. LOL
There’s an upside to being at ground zero. The fact that we’re talking about a nuclear war might mean there’s a dim realization of what Brandon’s doing for us.
The more primitive and spread out the society, the more likely people would survive, albeit at a pre-industrial level. I'd say Russia (and possibly Canada, if it gets clobbered, too), would have the advantage here, because the US population has become heavily urbanized and dependent on the food/supply chain.
“But that is not what the science says.”
Is that the same “science” that instructs us on global warming?
The Donner Party taught us that liberals are okay if prepared correctly.
Nuclear Winter is a discredited concept. It was debunked even before the various SALT and START treaties reduced warhead count.
But.
It is true that most Americans would starve. Russia would win. They are more spread out.
The primary targets for Russia would be the Gulf coast and a few other places where there are refineries. If you have no diesel or gasoline, you cannot transport food. The cities would die. Essentially 100% casualties.
Ports of entry for refined product might also be major targets. The days of targeting military bases . . . well, that will still happen, but that’s not where victory is.
Victory is making your opponent surrender and starvation does that. A Democrat president, elected by city voters, would react very quickly and surrender in order to retain power.
A Republican president would find there is not much choice. He’ll take longer but will still surrender.
The Russian cities are far more spread out and distances to food sources are shorter.
They win. We lose.
High of 96 here today. 83 would be kinda nice.
resulting in crop failure around the world
Maybe because the Bible was written thousands of years before America was founded.🙄
I doubt the US can assure anything with the politicians we have.
The effects would be worldwide:
“Firestorms would release ash and smoke into the upper atmosphere that would block out the Sun, resulting in crop failure around the world, according to researchers from Louisiana State University.”
Globalist warmongers want millions of people of European heritage to die.
In America.
In Europe.
In Russia.
Anyone who doesn’t get that either doesn’t get what the real war is about or is on the wrong side.
And the gasoline. Kinda funny that they had plenty of ammo but no gas. Must have found the government's stash of all the millions of rounds they keep buying, even for agencies that you wouldn't think need much of any. IRS, USPS
