A random nuclear weapon hitting us . Not very likely. Of course if one detonated at ground level in Kelowna it would cause fallout that would be dangerous but not as bad as you seem to think. The US and other countries did many many above ground tests till they were finally banned forget exactly when. Not that many people dropped dead immediately but not going to say it might not have contributed to some dying down the road for cancer and related radiation effects.
But fallout is pretty predictable it follows winds and can be predicted and warned and explained already if airburst weapons have next to no fallout and the fallout is generally only dangerous for few weeks. Not talking reactor melt downs here nuclear weapons are very different in the amount of lasting radiation. And if they shot one down and not sure if it would detonate then again not going to be much radiocative stuff to worry about and most of that would fall in one place not all over the province.
And of course if a nuke detonates at ground level here or airburst right near us we would have near total destruction of our city. Nukes are city destroyers after all.
The real danger is if North Korea keeps going and get 100 or more nuclear weapons with the means to deliver them.
Then they could seriously mess up the US.
And at this current time not really much if any way to knock down incoming nukes. There is no laser based space system that was never built.
And intercepting them from other missles is pretty hard to do still. The US in its stupidity decided not to build anti missle defence system . Russia and China have taken much more steps to protect their civilian populations because the real truth is that nuclear war is survivable. A fact that MAD doctrine or Mutally Assured Destruction never would admit. In proper shelter which can even be built in your back yard you can survive fallout in a nuclear war. You can not necessarily survive a direct strike unless you shelter is much more hardened.
North Korea is ruled by a pycho tyrant. People are arrested ,put in camps, they have basically no human rights, most of this is directly do to the attitudes of their power hungry corrupt leadership. The best thing we can do for North Korea is not to send them one shred of food but to airdrop rifles and hope the population overthrows the leaders. Sadly likely will never happen and sadly see a conventional war very possible at some time that might escalate to nuclear possibly on tactical nuke type level possibly higher level at some point in the future.
And yes did predict higher realt estate prices in the okanagan long term. And since not a realtor anymore still sticking to that opinion. LOL
And am predicting a not end well scenario at some point in time with North Korea. personally think US should just shock and awe their stupid *bleep*! Worked pretty good in Iraq. With the military government in ruin think most North and South Koreans would reunite.
Quit blaming the US for most of the worlds problems. There are evil regimes in the world and while the US is hardly perfect I would greatly prefer living in the US or next to the US then living in Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, etc. And from knowing people from those countries that left them so would they.
