I like the cut of your jib!

They have to come out sometime, and there will be no serfs to serve them. I hope they're S.P.E.C.I.A.L

Took the G.O.A.T. test. They evaluated me to be Vault Chaplain.

“They have to come out sometime, and there will be no serfs to serve them.”

Nor uncontaminated food, water, or atmosphere. The conditions of semidarkness, killing frosts, and subfreezing temperatures, combined with high doses of radiation from nuclear fallout, would interrupt plant photosynthesis and could thus destroy much of the Earth’s vegetation and animal life. The extreme cold, high radiation levels, and the widespread destruction of industrial, medical, and transportation infrastructures along with food supplies and crops would trigger a massive death toll from starvation, exposure, and disease. A nuclear war could thus reduce the Earth’s human population to a fraction of its previous numbers.

In the 1970s, however, several studies posted that the layer of ozone in the stratosphere that shields living things from much of the Sun’s harmful ultraviolet radiation might be depleted by the large amounts of nitrogen oxides produced by nuclear explosions. And the first of the blasts will be stratosphere.

This is not going to be like WW II where there were two actual combat nudets at 15 and 20 kilotons. The devices we use today are over 60 times bigger than those in 1945. And there won’t be 2. Russia possesses an estimated 6,300 nuclear warheads as of 2022, the largest stockpile of nuclear warheads in the world; the second-largest stockpile is the United States’ 5,428 warheads. Russia’s deployed missiles (those actually ready to be launched) number about 1,588, second to the United States’ 1,644. Even if they can come up...to what?
