Nuclear War

[oldtrucker]

You've known about it all your lives.
Some of us remember duck n cover at skool.
I've always been into aviation/ military stuff since I was a young kid...Go back in my posts to see how sick of a addiction it's been...
And I've always known that given a unlimited timeline and the existence of nuclear weapons, it isn't if , it's when.... On a long enough timeline, the probability becomes 100%.
You've known this could happen all your lives...but did you accept it or just go hugs n puppies sunny ways to mentally deal with it or are you taking positive action now before the bleepshow to end all bleepshows begins?

I've accepted it a long time, especially when reading Posadas

Get cash.
Buy seeds, grow as much as possible.
Buy durable goods you need ie shoes etc. boots, jackets etc.
Get your freezers full of food used up and restock with fresh stuff.

Stock up.

Ya, it's coming.

Covid restrictions are going to look benign.

Edited to add: buy up solar panels and technology, add a wood heater to the house, improve your fencing, add surveillance to the property.

I was hoping to get through this life without a nuclear war...the probability has spiked lately so you never know.

Does anyone have a list of identified Canadian/northern USA targets?

[Queen K]

If anyone took notice all they have to do is cut off Hwy 1, Hwy 3 and the Coq to starve out BC's interior. So Hope?

Queen....why would you fill your freezer with food? It's going to be grid down and the freezer won't work.

Be happy it's winter...if it happened in the heat of the summer, the global smoke cover would be way worse.

I don't have time to find it but I've posted the Canadian target list in another thread. If you find it, please repost it here.
If you are asking if the Okanagan is far enough from the 50 plus detonations in the Seattle / Kitsap military complex sub base etc atea-. No...it's not far enough. If it were just a few warheads with only a few rads on the ground I'd say sure, we may be okay here but it won't be. For example, we, NATO had Kiev area targeted with 57 warheads during the height of the cold war...ya.
Assume all military targets will be hit. Yes, that means all Canadian military installations. Edit added again. Okanagan is far enough if the winds are blowing from the north west.

What is everyone's comfort level? Do you think nuclear war is a real threat in the next weeks, months?

I would think if the Ukraine/Russia conflict escalates much more it would be a possible and real threat. IMHO of course.

Read my first post....on a long enough timeline....

Freezer full of food ain't going to buy your way into Heaven ( or Hell depending on what company you want to keep
Hope no nukes used - but he's insane so anyone's guess

Isn't that what the new solar panels on the roof supposed to take care of?

More seriously, Aljeerza has some thoughts on how possible a nuclear war is by now. Get a load of that graph.

Water
Wood
Wildlife has been my moto...But dammit girl...good thinking. Sounds like you have your badazzz on and some plans in place.

Infrastructure like roads and bridges would come into play in a total all out 3000 warhead exchange, but I think it will only be a 500 warhead scenario. Note.... I am not including known ground based missile silos in that 500 warhead number.

Maybe the castanet forum gods would merge my other thread I can't find with this one

Build a bomb shelter under your garage and stock up on freeze-dried non-perishables which tends to have a 30 year shelf life, and seeds. Get a CB or HAM radio and keep the world informed. Would be a nice to have a weapon or two plus ammo. Spend time outside the city in case it is invaded. Stock up on fuel. Trudeau won't let us fight for Canada since he is a globalist, which means part Russian, Chinese, and North Korean.

Nuclear Weapons are not the only threat. Ice ages, asteroids, and plagues can all wipe out lots of people. Hopefully we don't get a plague and ice age after a nuclear war.
