So we all im sure have seen the insanely dumb shit the USA is doing and for anyone near an area that might be hit by a tactical nuke in the event of a limited exchange i thought id post some advice on what to do.

This is for people outside the blast zone but inside a radiation zone. If your in the blast well… tell Lenin i send my love.

Firstly a few basics to stock up on.

Bottled water

cheap shelf stable ready to eat foods. Trail snacks, granola, stuff like that. Few multivitamins too.

Iodine tablets.

N95 masks(or the best u can find.)

goggles.

Duct tape.

A cheap handheld radio that can be recharged and has emergency channels.

When the strikes happen if your outside get inside ASAP. Remove all clotheing before going inside and leave it outside. Pick a room preferably a bathroom in the center of a structure that doesnt have windows. Preferably have all supplies already in there, but if not get them in there fast. Close the door and duct tape over any cracks or vents. Fill bathtub with water. Take 1 iodine pill everyday starting now.

Turn the water to the toilet off. You will be using the bathtub water to flush do not bring in outside water anymore. You will stay sealed in this room for 48 hours. After 48 hours you will remove the duct tape as you need air from outside but stay in the room as long as you can.

The fallout of modern nukes should break down pretty fast the longer you stay inside the better. Listen to the radio for info from your government. When you cannot stay inside anymore due to low supplies you will put on an N95 mask, a thick jacket, gloves, long pants, closed shoes, etc. Duct tape the seams between pants, jacket, gloves, and shoes. wear goggles. If you can do multiple layers!

You want to minimize exposure to your skin, and keep fallout particles from entering the body. a makeshift hazmat suit like this is single use. You will get as far away as you can as fast as you can. Hopefully the radio told you a safe place. When you get there you will carefully remove this suit and discard it while avoiding touching the outside of it. Get into clean clothes (you can bring a change of clothes and keep them in a sealed bag).

At this point you should be outside the immediate fallout zone and probably in a refugee camp. Seek out medical care immediately. Inform medical staff you may have been exposed to radiatioactive fallout. If you did all of this youll be better off then 90% of people and most likely be fine. If you do get radiation poisoning youll have atleast minimized the damage. Remember that radiation is invisible. Even if you feel fine, never saw ask or dust, etc. GET PROFESSIONAL MEDICAL CARE ASAP!

I hope nobody ever has a need to use this advice but ive been researching it just to prepare myself and thought id share it. Anyone who has any other advice please post it below for me and others to educate ourselves.

Stay safe everyone <3

    A limited exchange is a fantasy. The second even small tactical nukes are fired, the other side will panic and retaliate. Also we’ve fired hundreds of nukes, one at a time, in the middle of nowhere and mostly underground. Something tells me the effect would be different if a Minuteman 3 was dropped on Moscow or Beijing. Or if you know… tens of thousands of nuclear blasts happened the same day. If you make someone drink a drop of arsenic every day the result wouldn’t be good… but they’d survive. Now make that same person drink 100ml of arsenic at once.

    Also “economic collapse” is putting it lightly.

    If China, Russia, India, and the US alone are wiped off the map the subsequent famine would kill billions. Forget about getting medicine or medical supplies either. Or electronic equipment.

    Millions more would freeze to death the following winter as gas, coal, and nuclear facilities are turned to ash.

    Also what money? China is gone, the US is gone, Russia is gone… what value does your money have? No one is buying anything in that situation.

    You can absolutely not “nothing ever happens” a nuclear exchange.

    I’d highly recommend watching the movie Threads. Not even because it’s realistic or anything, but it shows how quickly “limited exchanges” escalate and how sometimes survival is worse than death.
