I was stating a fact of research.
Civil defense of infrastructure is the only thing needed, but Australia by its shear vastness does not need it. All a farmer deed is a dust mask and a modicum of PPE, some potatium, calcium and a small hole in the ground for the fist hits.
The Russians have Yamamantu mountain whose underground is vaster than DC, and it is not the only cave complex, they have many more. They are ready to survive.
If a farming family can survive, so can an entire nation.
Nukes are only very limited artillery, there are only so many that can be thrown, after that it goes pretty much conventional.
I have never heard anything so nutty about a full nuclear exchange.
How is it that we have all missed your insight and estimates for the last 70 years, since we all thought that a full nuclear exchange would be kind of nasty? How do you think the loss of their cities and Navy and Air Force, and Army, and infrastructure would affect Russia, how would the farmers avoid the radiation and fallout, where would the survivors get seed and fuel and rations until harvest, how would anything be taking place that could be considered ‘winning”?
And what does that mean “Nukes are only very limited artillery”?
OT:
Just so you know, it looks like things are heating up again in Donetsk, REALLY fast.
Kiev has been moving a TON of men and equipment south from Slovyansk in the last 24 hours.
An APC of this bunch, driven by a crew that was apparently stinking drunk, drove off the road this afternoon in occupied Konstantinovka, to run a family over that was walking just off the road, including a 3-year old that died instantly in her carriage. Reports vary of two to four killed.
The locals went nuts, at first protesting at the scene, where military police showed up, grabbed the soldiers, and then drove off, leaving the dead lying in the grass.
Toward evening this grew into a huge protest against Kiev, and after dark they the locals attacked and burnt a Kiev Army barracks. There are dead and injured being reported.
TONS of videos of this are on twitter and Youtube now.
Latest vids show heavy small arms fire, and tweets say the DPR flag has been hoisted over the local SBU building.
Rumors are that 300 Right Sector troops are on the way from Kramatorsk to “Restore order”, so the locals are trying to lay their hands on as many weapons as possible, before they get there.
ALSO, just before dark, Kiev opened a heavy artillery barrage, and an airstrike, against the South suburbs of Donetsk. Twitter claims the artillery fire is coming from the area that Kiev troops would not allow OSCE monitors to inspect a few days ago, threatening to shoot them if they came any farther.
If the Airstrike reports are true, Minsk 2 is dead, IMO...
