LLAW’s NUCLEAR ISSUES & COMMENTS, Monday, (04/15/2024)

We, and the general run-of-the-mill media is not learning what nuclear war means and how it is fought from the main-stream media. I suppose it is natural to think of war in the old-time military vs. military with little impact on civilians. But that’s not the way nuclear war among nations will work. In fact, concentration of military might will be to destroy both military facilities and civilian-filled cities without favoritism or discrimination.

Nuclear attacks will be similar to how the U.S. ended WWII by annihilating two Japanese cities with just two atomic bombs, killing somewhere around a quarter of a million ordinary citizens. And yet there is a huge difference in nuclear war today than there was then, and that is the bombs are far more powerful and therefore far more destructive, than those two, crudely named “Little Boy” on Hiroshima and “Fat Man” on Nagasaki in August of 1945. A single nuclear bomb today would be capable of destroying the entire city of Washington, D.C., including life. Much loss of life would be instant, and some miserably painful and lingering.

You only need to read the Prologue to Annie Jacobsen’s new book to learn at least that much, but everyone should read and understand the entire work to grasp the devastating reality of what WWIII would be like. Her book is titled “Nuclear War A Scenario”. It allows the general public to quickly and clearly understand what nuclear war is and that it takes no prisoners.

And I will add that there are also many media news outlets that fail to fully understand how nuclear war works, and offer ‘street guides’ to safer places. Nuclear war doesn’t care where you are, and your fate will not necessarily be based on whether you reside next to a military base or elsewhere. Just the fallout from a nuclear war will eventually find you and add you to the death toll. You can’t hide, you can’t run, and you simply can’t escape an all out WWIII nuclear war, and that is likely, if there is a war at all, what will come down upon us if not now, sometime in the not-too-distant future. It must be stopped before it happens.~llaw
