Russian President Vladimir Putin placed his nuclear forces on high alert Sunday, generating concern among defense experts that Russia could trigger a nuclear attack or, in a nightmare scenario, all-out nuclear war. Some military analysts see the move as a strategic response to Western sanctions, while others take it as a warning that Putin could resort to nuclear tactics if compelled.
"I'm definitely worried," Irwin Redlener, a public-health expert at Columbia University who specializes in disaster preparedness, told Insider. "Sometimes, we might be tempted to dismiss such a statement, but in the context of what seems like a pretty unhinged Vladimir Putin, who actually carried through on his threats to invade Ukraine with ferocity, we have to take the nuclear comments seriously."
A nuclear attack remains highly unlikely, but it's not out of the question, experts say.
Russia's nuclear arsenal is capable of striking just about anywhere on the planet. If a single weapon was launched at the US, residents would have roughly 30 minutes, or less, to find shelter, assuming they were immediately warned of the attack. If Russia launched a weapon from international waters just outside New York, East Coast cities like New York, Boston, and Washington, DC, might have just 10 to 15 minutes to prepare.

The fear porn is flying thick. Let the left live in fear, I’ll pass.
If nukes start flying, I want to die quickly. This world would not be worth trying to cling to. Unless you think you’re headed to hell when you die. And you can do something about that, while there is still time.

I’ll go with “Nukler!”
Well, since there's more joy in heaven over one repentant sinner than ninety-nine righteous men, I'll do some heavy sinning until right before the nukes hit, then repent. And while I'm floating to heaven with my harp in hand, I'll be thumbing my nose at all those righteous bastards who have to wait in line.

Just huddle under one of those things.
And then watch a movie on a school reel projector afterwards.

A couple of bombs in DC would have more positive than negative.
