Another day, another threat of nuclear retaliation against the West by Putin.

Realistically, if Russia were to launch missiles against European capitals, how long a warning would the inhabitants get? What about North America (USA, Canada)?

Does NATO have the capability of in-flight interception? Or other defense mechanisms?

How deep underground is safe to protect against a modern nuclear blast?

Stay safe y’all.

    There’s no interdiction capability that can be relied on.

    No matter where you find yourself on that hot day, many cold ones will follow. The food supply will dwindle to a small fraction of what the survivors will require. Being underground will not fix that.

    There’s no hiding from humanity’s nuclear suicide attempt. Do what you think best to prevent it.

      I read (watched a video) about the fallout from enough bombs exploding and the results would be a MASSIVE amount of carbon going up in the sky. Well past anything that the “normal sky system” would be able to effect. I don’t know the right words for the part of our sky.

      Basically there would be up to 10 years of winter before that carbon leaves and we start getting back to some normal seasonal cycle. The grow/harvest time during the meantime will not be nearly enough for all of us.

      I plan on ending it before all that, if a nuclear fallout does occur. I’d be better able to get some booze/drugs and go on a bender. Good luck to the survivors.
