I recently saw a comment chain about nuclear bombs, and that led me to thinking about this. Say there is a nuclear explosion in the downtown of my US city. I survive relatively fine, but obviously the main part of the city has been destroyed, while major zones extending from the center were also badly damaged. What would be a good response to (a) survive and (b) help out the recovery effort?
Kurzgesagt has a video on it.
Excellent Video! And important call for nuclear disarmament.
The only time a nuke has ever been used in war was when only one country had them. Disarmament destroys MAD and makes it possible for only one country to have (and therefore use) nukes again.
nukes, or anything else.
just look how great nuclear disarmament worked for ukraine. you can bet your right hand that no country will give their nukes up ever again.
I suspect you are at least as old as I am, from the MAD comment.
