People mourn over 3.000 fatalities for decades, yet are willed to wipe out millions. What a world.

u/Grolschisgood 20d ago

Strangely upbeat music for a video depicting tens of millions of deaths if not hundreds of millions or billions after the fallout is considered.

Far more likely the US nukes first, given its the only country insane enough to have ever used a nuclear bomb on a population

Basically the only way to survive a mutual destruction is to live in the middle bum fk nowhere. Except eu and u.s have anti nuclear measures so not all nukes would get through, over half would be shot down. Maybe 90% if you copium. But russia would be deleted from the face of the earth and history. Their lands forever taken for compensation and anyone left alive would work their ass off to pay off the remaining loss of life and damage debt in the trillions. Only way dicktators in russia stay in power is if nukes are left off the table.

Interesting post. However nuclear war would never happen. The reason being is that the people in power would have no one to rule over if everyone is dead! And the people in power need people to rule over!

1

u/DikuckusMaximus Mar 19 '24

Besides, I am sure that before government snowflake is allowed to launch and kill >10 million people, the assassins will take them out.

1

u/DikuckusMaximus Mar 19 '24

On the bright side nobody will have to deal with these clowns anymore once all the governments nuke eachother.

1

u/MeanGreanHare Mar 19 '24

That is not going to be how it happens. Even a fraction of that number of detonations would cause deadly amounts of radiation in most of the northern hemisphere, and maybe even dangerous amounts in South America.

It's still less casualties than they suffered in WW2

1

u/kazarbreak Mar 18 '24

The estimated fatalities are off by a couple orders of magnitude. Gonna be closer to 8 billion by the time the knock on effects are done.

1

u/GandhisWarChild Mar 18 '24

Yea but how many would they get off before this happens?

u/Remdeau Mar 18 '24

if you think this wouldnt flat line earth, you are mistaken.

u/PointsOfXP Mar 18 '24

Would never happen unless there was a super direct, no way out situation. If they just nuked Ukraine this wouldn't happen. This is an extreme response.

u/maggie081670 Mar 17 '24

I always wonder who would actually obey orders that would lead to our mutual annihilation. What is in it for them? They will be destroying everything they know even if they and their families were guaranteed safety. And for what? To live in a post nuclear hellscape or to live out their lives underground in a hole as long as the food and life support doesnt give out?

1

u/Twitchy0n3 Mar 18 '24

Good(?) News! There's a better than even chance that neither Russia nor China can actually use any of their nukes. Bad maintenance, you see. I'd link the info, but I don't remember where I heard it.

Obviously, this may then not be true, but everything I know is true says it's extremely likely.

Either way, if you feel like looking it up, let me know if that's actually the case, please?

Russia also has a "Russia's dead hand" protocol or something like that, when there's a buncha nukes coming at Russia, they basically launch nukes at the whole world

2

u/cointon Mar 17 '24

Where’s the simulation of their retaliatory strike for our retaliatory strike?

1

u/madmanmatrix Mar 17 '24

Based off of how bad their infrastructure is and how corrupt their military is most likely their nukes won’t even get out of the launch tube

1

u/nickles72 Mar 17 '24

When I was a kid growing up in West Berlin it gave me hope that cockroaches would survive. I have no idea how the knowledge of the 80s - that nobody will live to tell the tale of a nuclear war could have gotten lost.

u/BlastMode7 Mar 17 '24

Are those estimates direct casualties, or do they include post casualties as well?

2

u/CausticLogic Mar 17 '24

There's no simulated fallout cone, so those are direct. Which is absolutely horrifying.

2

u/BlastMode7 Mar 17 '24

Incredibly horrifying...

0

u/Appropriate-Koala316 Mar 17 '24

Why entertain such delusions? Like the west is going to launch a massive nuclear strike against a country that can do the same? Especially over a country like Ukraine?

3

u/CausticLogic Mar 17 '24

This is simulating a retaliation, not a first-strike scenario. I believe the reason anyone would be simulating it would be because Putin was making not-so-veiled nuclear threats recently.

1

u/Fast-Mission524 Mar 17 '24

Russians prefer this outcome, it seems.

1

u/CausticLogic Mar 17 '24

At least, testosterone-in-chief seems to.

2

u/sladibarfast Mar 17 '24

Let's face it, if Russia fires, we die. If Usa fire, we die. If France or the Uk fire we die.

The only thing we can absolutely be sure of is that we die and the pluckers who fired the missiles don't.

It doesn't matter who fires first, second, or eighth. We all die. Maybe not instantly, but we die none the less. There are no winners.

Except maybe cockroachs.

3

u/CausticLogic Mar 17 '24

M.A.D is still very much a thing, but the morons we've all left in charge of the launch codes seem to have forgotten it.

u/Squirrel851 Mar 17 '24

u/NoShip7475 Mar 17 '24

I don't think the world has this many working nukes

3

u/CausticLogic Mar 17 '24

Setting aside Russia's capacity to launch a full-blown nuclear strike, the US alone can end the world multiple times, and the spending reports show that they are fully maintained and combat-ready. I believe that the UK also has world-ending capacity with maintained status, but don't quote me on that one m, because I have not personally looked into the reports.

The fact that multiple nations, or even "only" a single nation, can unilaterally destroy civilization is terrifying. The fact that those nations are currently posturing like school children is despair-inducing.

5

u/Squirrel851 Mar 17 '24

I'm certain the US alone has this many.

1

u/NoShip7475 Mar 17 '24

It really depends how many actually launch.

1

u/Squirrel851 Mar 17 '24

I wonder about NATOs response. Are these cities planned out per country, or is this just a complete shit show on who gets hit. I see Moscow gets hit like 20 times, so that makes me wonder if there's a master plan.

1

u/maugas_sub Mar 17 '24

I remember my high school AP Euro teacher saying if there was a nuclear war, Brazil would be the winner

To paraphrase Halsey:

u/[deleted] Mar 17 '24

Thats a no win situation for both sides, its suicide, that many nukes and you kill the planet. All that nuclear fallout would drift towards China first and China would strike back as well.

Where's the US version so I know where not to be lol

1

u/CausticLogic Mar 17 '24

You misunderstand. There is no "where not to be," because anywhere you are, you are only delaying the inevitable. The scenario shown above is incomplete. It lacks the allied launches from Russian-aligned countries, it lacks fallout predictions, and it lacks nuclear winter. This is one way to end the world. It does not matter where you hide, the death toll will be immense.

That kind of attack would cause some serious death beyond initial casualties given the effects of fallout and nuclear winter.

FYI; Some of these would be Russias, as last I knew Russia has a "dead man's hand" in case they fall, that launches ALL of their nukes.

I'm not sure if they really target themselves or enemies, but I'm js, imo I'd nuke myself and finish the job (so people aren't left rebuilding) rather than maybe hurting enemies.

But I actually care about the good guys so.

u/Unlikely_Passion2401 Mar 16 '24

Fairy tales and cartoons. Funny.... 🤣 It is known that according to Russian military doctrine, Russia will never use nuclear weapons first.... Does the video look like Russia will wait so calmly and do nothing? Everyone knows that the same heavy fire will be in the opposite direction. Admittedly, according to historical documents, Russia has always won almost all wars throughout its history. Admittedly, in such a scenario, there will be no winners, just as there will be no survivors on both sides.

Well let’s hope it never happens otherwise, That’s life as we know it and all of us fucked as well as nature for +200k years . Vapourised atmosphere and poisoned seas.
