A Bang Or A Whimper?

Tokyo Nuclear Attack

The Day After

Yeah, it's a motherfucker. Will we avoid this? With billions dying? Will the nuclear powers do nothing as their populations slide into the die-off? Or will they lash out with every weapon at their disposal?

Well I started a thread about dead reporters in Russia.

So it is probably no surprise that I think we are going to go out with a bang.

Putin and the Russians keep talking about how they have countermeasures into any defensive shield the US can put up so think they are still wanting to be in the fight.

Russia has lots of friends in the middle east and are in the process of selling some of their most advanced stuff to Iran and Syria so if anything things are heating up.

Economic crash and then a late game all out war for resources. Russia is going to put the screws to all of Europe. Great Britain will not be able to get the lng terminals built fast enough. China because of overshoot is going to be desperate for power and resources.

The US has already made the smart play by striking first in Iraq. If they had not the Russians would be fighting the Europeans over the deals to develop Iraqi oil. The Russians would win because they would offer better weapons.

People seem blase about all the Russian assassinations. Same with the Chechnya scene. Brutal. I think the realization is slowly setting in that we've run off the cliff and are reluctant to look down. What do you think America will do when the situation becomes obviously dangerous?

So this is one inevitability that you foresee which you use to justify doing nothing in the face of this energy crisis?

This will never occur - plus if it does we can always just Duck and Cover :o

Pen I hear you about people being blase'

I think a lot of people have blinders on and if the isn't the US doing something they think is wrong, well then it must not be that bad.

Putin is going to prove himself more evil than Bush. In less than two years Bush will be history but Putin will still be right their running Russia and the number one producer of the worlds most precious resource.

And this is an aside.
The French pass a law preventing citizens from filming riots and police violence and what are most peoples comments about? The friggin USA. That isn't what we are friggin talking about now is it?

Israel is also there lets not forget about them. The Arabs are going to have tons of cash and Iran will get their bomb. You can bet that will be a nuclear war. The Jews there will launch their nukes out of spite when the Arabs come with better weapons to wipe them out.

No not at all and sorry if you got me wrong.

Just me trying to peg people again - a bad habit of mine - something I will eventually stop doing - stop worrying - stop wondering and just live for what remains.

I know that you do not feel the need to prep and I see you here saying that basically nuclear war is inevitable so I must conclude that this fear is a part of the reason why you feel prep is useless otherwise you would be prepping.

Now am I that far off PMS?

We grew up in the time of atomic fear and I for one get real tired of being afraid so I simply stop being afraid of things I cannot prevent and do something about the things I am capable of doing something about.

You could be right and I could be wrong and I can completely accept that as a possibility yet it could turn out that 10 years from now you will be wishing that you had prepped....can you accept that as a possibility?

I only think I am right - I do not know for certain yet damnit if I cannot say the same thing about everyone else as they most definately seem to know they are right.

There's no harm in prepping. I've got guns and buckets for water and seeds and all that. I just don't think it's going to work. But I'll try. Good luck to you.

I've researched how to make adobe bricks, believe it or not. And how to make charcoal. Thanks for your kind words. My guess, though, is that I'm going to fare as the collective fares, that I can't escape that fate. If the collective is going down, I expect to go down with it. :cry:

I'm not sure what this thread is about, but you should take a look at this video and tell me what the song is that plays starting about half way.

Chinese Nuclear Test

It seems that some of the hardcore people on this site should observe the horsemen at the end for some dramatic survival maneuvers.
