#nuclearwarwithRussia Profile photo for Matt P. Matt P. Lived in The United States of AmericaNov 29 Once the dust settled after a nuclear exchange, how much of the US would be livable? Even if a full exchange had occurred between the Soviet Union and the USA at the height of the Cold War with full nuclear arsenals, pre-treaty, most of the USA would be inhabitable.
The bulk of the damage would be where military installations were, the missile fields and large cities. There would be many cities within 100 miles of Washington DC, for example, who would be wondering what that flash was on the horizon. They wouldn’t be touched. Get even further into the US interior and, again, outside of larger metro areas getting hit, places would likewise be untouched. In some cases there would be entire states that would suffer little damage outside their main cities being destroyed.
Immediate post-strike fallout would be the main concern. This is why you’d hunker down for two to four weeks to allow the worst of it to decay. After that you’d have to pick up and learn to live in a world before electricity with no functioning industrial base for quite some time. That’s the hard part.
Nuclear exchanges would not destroy the planet. Would barely scratch it. The USA would be mostly livable albeit in very harsh and difficult ways afterwards. Just avoid the northeast, northwest, southern California and anywhere that a city was built next to a major military base. Portions of eastern Wyoming, southern Montana and western Nebraska you’d really want to avoid.

If they are going to nuke big cities I could see the crime rate dropping dramatically long term. Because the 13% that causes most of our crime is going to be decimated.
Dark money funneled to build the media dubbed “Star Wars initiative” after it couldn’t pass through Congress.
Anyway, if this war with the Ukraine is any indication, Russia’s weapons ain’t what they projected them to be.
As a side note, “Star Wars” demonstrated how long our US msm has been horribly biased. The only reason for continually running that name was to make Reagan seem like an incompetent fool. Like he was making some fantasy proposal.
