A chilling Cold War-era map paints a dire picture for the United States following a nuclear conflict, with estimates suggesting up to 75% of the population in the worst impacted zones could perish. The world's nuclear powers include the US, UK, France, Russia, and China, as well as Pakistan, India, and North Korea.

Israel is also presumed to possess nuclear weapons, although it has never officially acknowledged this, while Iran is progressing its substantial uranium enrichment program. A 1986 study by Institute of Medicine researchers William Daugherty, Barbara Levi, and Frank Von Hippel analyzed the potential aftermath of a nuclear strike on the US.

They focused on an attack targeting America's nuclear arsenal, specifically Minuteman missile silos—land-based nukes from the 1950s—which would explode where they are stored. This would lead to extensive radiation spread throughout the country.

Not like we need reminding though...

Since nuclear targets in US are bunkered deep down, attacker will explode their nukes close to ground level, which will vaporize the US nuclear materials in missiles driving it in to the upper atmosphere and all that radiation will fall back over the continent. US military maybe thinks use them or lose them, meaning US should do the first strike.... I think the study is worried the US military mindset is just that way, they still conclude first strike or no first strike, country is entirely devastated.

Poison, Gases, Volcanic Ash & Dust, massive fires, Nuclear explosions, Bombs, etc.
DO devastate the immediate area….and the winds carry the EFFECTS on air quality, sun blocking, plant life, animal life, human life……to around the WORLD.

AND….the handful of “world PUPPET Masters” Have DEEP IN THE EARTH…reinforced BUNKERS;
* Luxury accommodations, Gold and Silver Storage, Gardens, Stored Food, Grains, Water, filtration systems, Waste facilities;
*That can accommodate THEM for years *AND the fact is…SUCH a World Wide Disaster would reasonably take 50-100 years to be safe for humans, animals, plant life to recover.
*AND the fact is….The Destruction of this World will be EFFECTED By God, not men.
*AND the fact is….The Renewal of this World will be Renewed By God, not men.

Sure Scientists have over the years Created Projection MAPS….”FOR” what ifs….AND “FOR” Agendas to Control, Eliminate and Downsize the World’s Population.

It’s a tit for tat…WILL they DESTROY THEMSELVES…while trying to KEEP the useful unto themselves, while eliminating those useless, to EFFECT their elitist, hoarding, greedy lives.

It’s an Old Old concept, with new options to consider as modern life destroying options are discovered.

God warned….this world would be FILLED with Evilness, Wickedness and Tribulations of men against men….

Glory to God,
Taken

It all depends on the total megatonnage, location of the weapons dropped and the winds. If there are large gaps in the spread of nucleart weapons and good prevailing winds, there are areas that could survive.

The real question is, would they really want to with all the devastation elsewhere.

Death in days for most and then starvation due to destroyed infrastructure.
I have read 95% of US citizens in the follow-on years after a major nuclear exchange will be dead. There is a lot of after effects, stores, utilities, medical care, good water, fuels, cars, trucks, infrastructure, government, law and order mostly gone and in short supply for many years. Inner cities will be worse off than those in rural areas if they are far enough away from the fall out.

Nuclear weapons saved the world ? have we been told this ?
Is it true that such Nuclear is the god send that it is made out to be !

My Freemason mate says that if everyone has Nuclear weapons we will all be safe ! I rejected such as stupid.

Criminals control the World in fact !
Within every Political Party their are always criminals within.

Look at the UN or NATO or EU or WHO ? who are they all truly ? lets look at each one within a open book say ? many are convicted killers who have killed plenty of people ! it's stacked with idiots and people with agendas ! Not to mention looking at a time line you se that such organisations change their spots, so the whole organisation changes over time, even turing around 180 degree on issues, they are not vaccinated against corruption with in, as other organisations within can get power and dominate !

If you start a Political Party and for all good reasons, sure to be sure that Party will become corrupted over time ! anyone who does not believe such is a fool !
If you own a Buisness and have people working for you, be sure that corruption will be at work within, you better understand that reality or the Buisness will fail or could become a monster ?
Look at an immune system functions, their is reality.
