Haa haa, yeah I saw that movie. It was dreadful, especially 'Galadriel's' Russian accent - too heavy on the wubble u's.
Nothing is ever simple. That is the beauty and wonder of life.
I'm not talking about major cities, friend. In the worst case nuclear scenario, then the losses from just major cities alone will be heart-breaking.
The UK is a tiny island. If there is a scenario where ALL life HAS to be erased, then my country stands zero chance. It would only take a few high yield (mega tonne) warheads to make this island uninhabitable for over 300 years. The water and food would be unsafe to use and radiation sickness is the pits - better to go out in the initial blasts, imo.
I'm only postulating about low yield tactical nukes or conventional types of war - I consider high altitude EMP to be somewhat 'conventional' even if we have not done that yet; and also deliberate systems (power, internet, banking) shutdown by our own governments.
Even these hypothetical scenarios will cause more havoc than any of us have ever seen. But those who grow and farm and forage and have the know-how to do this MIGHT stand a better chance than those that know nothing - in the short term, at least. Obviously this depends on where was hit and by what or whatever situation comes first.
That alone is a lot of questions and a lot of speculation.
None of us will know unless it happens - only a mad person would ever wish to see any this.
I am hoping and praying that none of us ever see these scenarios happen.
Both the USA and the UK have a percentage of the population that think war would be just fine. This is the same low percentage who always seem to get their way.
I know that you are doing all you can.
There are people here in the UK who are doing what they can too.
History tells us all that if the 'machine' wants war they will get one, and to hell with the rest, right?
My best wishes to all you amazing people out there.
