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….

Ted Turner's Estate In Patagonia, Argentina
Years ago when Ted was asked about this place he said that this is where he'll go when the revolution begins.
Also, very little radiation fallout there.
Possibly…
Russia has spent decades digging underground survival nodes for city populations. They have a huge advantage for structural survival/victory.
No; these things you see as an advantage for Russia aren’t except that outside of Moscow they have a population accustomed to poverty and poor hygiene.
Russia is cursed with high transportation costs, short growing seasons, expensive/technical/high maintenance oil production and vast unfriendly borders. They’ve been invaded 50+ times, they are famous for their famines, they have ONE warm water port.
One they start a nuclear exchange they are consigning their wives children to some central Asian slave market. And they know it.
Our oil is cheap, not dependent on foreign technology, near population centers, and can be brought online in weeks. We have more productive farmland; much isn’t even used for food, and near navigable water. We don’t have a single port in the lower 48 that freezes. As horrific as it will be, we’ll emerge a stronger and better nation. Probably about 15-20M.
Once Moscow is turned to glass, Russia ceases as a nation. Poland and the rest of the Warsaw pact also owe them an asskicking.
Now this we can agree on, and they haven’t mythologized the unsurvivability of nuclear combat.
But; it’d leaves their kleptocrat leadership intact.
My grandfather lived with a woman who survived the bombing of Nagasaki as a teen. She said the only thing that would grow in the irradiated soil was pumpkin, and even then the plants were deformed. But, that was what was there, so that was what they ate. Not just the fruits either, they ate the stems, the leaves, everything. She survived on pumpkin-stem soup for more than a year.
I pray we never have to find out what that’s like. But I keep expanding my garden.
Wow. Sorry to learn about your monkey.
It’s my own fault. I learned at an early age that the love of monkey is the root of all evil.

totally agree with your post
The Word is not trapped in a linear time line
just finished studying the minor prophets and was astonished how the events parallel our current times (inflation, starvation, mad rulers, perverted justice, oppressive taxes....)

“A brand new study that was just released has concluded that average global temperatures would immediately drop”
We went through this before with the TTAPS papers, Sagan et all warning about nuclear winter.
Nuclear winter propaganda continued until Vladimir Alexandrov disappeared without a trace. Rumor had it that his models of large Siberian fires had zero effect on global or regional temperatures.
Funny that NUCLEAR WINTER propaganda is starting up again while NYC is putting out atomic bomb PSAs.
Ping
I believe that the Rapture will occur before a nuclear war.
Why? A nuclear war could bring about the last days events like famine, wars and rumors of wars, the world will be in turmoil and chaotic and a leader will arise in the East. Nothing in the Bible precludes nuclear war.
We’re all doomed from global warming anyway.
Starvation hurts. Radiation sickness sounds really, really mizzable.
I live in rural Missouri and I CAN skin a Buck and run a trotline. Have done both a many time.Plus I'm a pretty decent gardener.
