Given the current situation, I can conceive of very few scenarios under which I would lift my little finger to support a war with Russia.

Me neither. But don't worry, it'd be over before we could hide under our desks. "Duck and Cover" might work if you're in isolated areas of the country.

“”Duck and Cover” might work if you’re in isolated areas of the country.”

Despite all the comedy about it, duck and cover is very useful outside the inner blast zone where nothing will save you. But if you are 3 miles away from a one megaton explosion you have 10 seconds before the blast wave hits.
If you are 12 miles away, you have 50 seconds.

Duck and cover means you aren’t in a survivable zone, but treated to flying glass, debris, shattered windows, rocks and crap killing you. It’s really a shame that duck and cover is just turned into a comedy joke.
