Nukes: post your imagined scenario of the next war
#21
RE: Nukes: post your imagined scenario of the next war
Make no mistake, I've done research on the subject. If we're actually using these nukes, and if there's some sort of nuclear exchange, it won't matter who starts it. We are fucked. Have you ever watched Threads? It's a film about the aftermath of a nuclear war, and it's brutally realistic. There was an army of scientific advisors to elaborate on how horrible the world (at least in the general vicinity of the blast) would end up becoming; basically, it ends up virtually medieval, but without any of the fun parts. People have to subsist on agriculture, most people are literally starving (at one point, they're forced to limit caloric intake for non-workers to 500 per day; even Mauthausen, brutal even by the standards of Nazi death camps, didn't reach that point until the end of the war), capital punishment and martial law are commonplace, the children born after are uneducateable, modern medicine is gone (instead of antibiotics, they use water with table salt added and pour it on wounds; at one point, a woman gives birth and she has to remove the umbilical cord with her teeth), and (the only consequence depicted based on dodgy science, but even then, there's still disagreement about that) the ozone layer is totally destroyed.

The people of Hiroshima and Nagasaki are lucky that Fat Man and Little Boy only had a combined yield of 36 kilotonnes (21 for Fat Man, 15 for Little Boy). You almost never hear of nukes with yields that low in post-1946 literature.
