Sit down. Place your head between your thighs. Pull your face in until you are able to kiss your ass goodbye.

No country in the forseeable future will ever launch a nuke. Period. Barring an overwhelmingly huge number of hypersonic nukes from an overwhelmingly huge number of launch sites, any country that did would cease to exist, which generally not the desired outcome of a conflict. Even if a country was successful in wiping out all of their initial enemies, the fallout and destruction from the nukes would leave them with an uninhabitable world filled with millions if not billions of survivors out for revenge against this rogue country. Nuclear war is simply not realistic.

Think about the unstable men that have these weapons under their control.... Do you trust them to do the right thing?

Just because people are "unstable" or ego driven does not mean they are suicidal or can't think ahead to the consequences of pushing the button. Nukes are a great deterrent for other nukes but are a very poor choice strategically for any other scenario except maybe fighting kaiju or blowing up a meteor

    NYC would also be a target. It has been a target before and will be a target again, until it is destroyed and no more.

    The city of the stock exchange, when it is destroyed, the financial markets collapse....

    Well since I live within mere miles of the worlds largest naval base, sure. What could go wrong?

    I would survive by hopefully seeing that shit coming and see the flash in the rear view. If I didn't, then I would seal my house for the next 7 days and hopefully the fall out goes out to sea. Then what. who the fuck knows. I think I'd probably rather die. let some other poor fuck repopulate.

    The Savior will help you, if you call on his name.
