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”?
it has been missed because of Soviet propaganda and gullible cowards.
Read the works of Teller and other real scientists on nuclear war survival, means of the enemy to win this war etc...
It is fact they are prepared to win nuke war.
It is limited artillery because you only have so many devices going off. There is not a factory of bombs like we have of continuous production of conventional weapons.
What is there is there. This is not to say that Soviet undergrounds are manned to be ready to produce them if needed.
War is about production, not fixed arsenal. A nuke exchange is only a start in order to deny the opponent war production capability, but it is not the war, it is very limited a battle and insignificant compared to the rest of the battle and civil disturbances.
Most of the dead will be dying not of radiation but because of civil response disorganization.
Disorganization is what is destroying things. Nagazaki fares a lot better than Detroit.
