“End Nuclear Insanity Before Nuclear Insanity Ends Humanity”
LLAW’s COMMENTARY:
About 1983’s movie “The Day After” and how a nuclear war would affect the average public citizen from their normal lives before, some about their lives during, and a little about their lives after. As the filmmakers said at the end of the movie, they felt their depiction of nuclear war was likely less harrowing, less difficult, less problematic, less destructive, and less painful in all-life threatening ways than portrayed in the film — indicating that the real thing would be even more horrible to bear than shown. I would agree, but still it was horrendous enough to force everyday citizens to seriously consider what would happen in an actual nuclear war.
By today’s potential WWIII standards, and considering the number and power of today’s weapons of mass destruction, and instead of two countries involved as portrayed in the movie, there could be eight primary countries as well as their allied countries facing the worst of war, too.
And then there are today’s ‘sitting duck’ nuclear power plants spread around the globe that these days are also considered by major countries and their political and military leaders to be an attacked country’s gift to help destroy themselves — what I call a ‘two-fer-one’ weapon of mass destruction. The Russia/Ukraine war has shown exactly how that could happen, and since that war remains ongoing, it could still actually happen because Ukraine has four huge and powerful nuclear plants with 15 nuclear reactors, ranking that country 7th in the world in commercial nuclear power. Of course the USA is far and away the country with the most reactors and plants.
Should Russia nuke all four of the Ukraine plants (or even one) WWIII would begin immediately. This scenario clearly tells us how all nuclear power plants just like ‘all other things nuclear’, including all uranium fuel, must be removed from existence on this planet in order for humans and other life to survive . . . In an all-out nuclear war, their are no survivors, much less a winning country.
So, if you did not watch that film last night and still would like to get a watered-down version of the reality of nuclear war and what it does to human society, I have added the You Tube link you can copy for your convenience again tonight, but don’t forget today’s number one categorized world news, as always, is on down this Post for you to read and personally selected articles of interest . . . ~llaw
