I have such a high IQ and it’s SO worthless lol.

two great answers. Thanks guys.

how anyone thinks a nuclear war on a large scale can benefit anybody is beyond me, but they do.

anyone know if 2 or 3 hundred nuke are exchanged, if that’s a planet killer, or is that just the movies?

cherynobyl wasn’t even a nuke and reached Europe

again, i know nothing of nukes, but Powerpoint and Excel, i’m you man lol

Rather simple... both the Turkish and the Saudi regimes are in deep trouble right now --- anything to change this will do --- and besides, would not a nuclear exchange between the US and Russia make the World more accepting of Islam ? (NOT my thinking, but theirs).

I only wonder what the golfer thinks about this....

I remember after cherynobyl we were told not to drink milk for a week.

Just FYI... There are two types generally used in a nuke delivery, Air Burst, and Ground burst. Both have benefits and and outcomes
An Air burst (1500-200ft)will give a greater diameter and much less fallout, and would be used against a city or troops in the field
A Ground burst gives a much smaller area and would be used for underground bunkers, but because of the amount soil and debris blown high into the atmosphere has much more fallout

Well, over about 25 years close to 2000 were set off worldwide and we barely noticed. A few hundred would devastate the countries who played, and the others wouldn’t notice much except the things they get from us would kinda be gone for a while.
I doubt the southern hemisphere would even notice if nobody told them.

As a fun aside, the number of people murdered by government in the last century was around 260 million. Not killed in wars and air raid, but simply the basic definition of murder if an individual did it. That is roughly the estimate of dead on a normal US/Russia exchange.

So the 1900s basically showed us a slow motion nuclear war. We, and the planet would survive it easily. Movies like “on the beach” were pure Science Fiction horror and that’s about it.
