If There Is A Nuclear War Between The U.S. And Russia, Most Americans Will Die By Starving To Death

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….

There are hoards of Africans now crossing the Southern border, not in search of a better life or fleeing tyranny so much as in search of the land of free stuff.

East of the Missippi is the best I can do at age 83. My WV place is about 120 miles from my main home, so much farther not possible. Hopefully leave a day or two before all hell busts loose, and pray both sides engage in a limited nuclear war. Otherwise, I have my pistol and no need to suffer a slow painful death.

There is a second book same author called one year after

Have you read the second book? After the first, I was too scared and depressed to read the second,

Yes I did. It was hopeful

Nuclear winter – Wikipedia

"Nuclear winter is a severe and prolonged global climatic cooling effect that is hypothesized to occur after widespread firestorms following a large-scale nuclear war.
The hypothesis is based on the fact that such fires can inject soot into the stratosphere,
where it can block some direct sunlight from reaching the surface of the Earth."

"Biology of a Nuclear Winter
“Nuclear Winter Theory”

“The theory of nuclear winter is basically one of natural inadvertent blow-back.
While a nuclear assault may focus on a country's military infrastructure or populace focuses,
the ambush could deliver huge mischief to Earth's atmosphere. “

“It's anything but difficult to underestimate the air we breathe, however, the atmosphere is an essential part of all life on this planet.
Truth be told, scientists trust it co-developed to its current state alongside Earth's unicellular organisms.
It shields us from risky levels of solar radiation, yet in addition, permits the sun to heat our reality.
Sunlight radiates through the atmosphere and warms the planet's surface, which at that point discharges earthbound radiation that heats the air.
On the off chance that adequate debris from consuming urban communities and woodlands rose into the sky, it could viably fill in as an umbrella,
protecting huge portions of the Earth from the sun.
In the event that you reduce the measure of sunlight that advances toward the surface, at that point,
you decrease the resulting atmospheric temperature just as conceivably meddle with photosynthesis. “

Misunderstood. The comparison was US imports vs Russian exports.

US consumption about 21 mbps, production about 12 mbpd.

Russia consumption 3.5ish mbps, production 11 mbpd.

There IS US export despite those numbers. Low viscosity Bakken oil goes north to Alberta to dilute high viscosity oil sands output. There are some other refinery relevant exports as well, but that just worsens the domestic shortfall.

It is all an enormous cumulative multi decade Russian advantage to date.
