Tough reading when you live across the river from NYC.

[golux]

Start by visualizing billions of dollars in U.S. cash sent "to Iran," on pallets.

[Responsibility2nd]

Just Google New York Garbage Strike and you'll get an idea.

Is 46 kilograms about 100 pounds?

Seems like a lot.

[JoeFromSidney]

Herman Kahn's book Thinking About The Unthinkable is still worth reading.

New York becomes a purple state from deep blue

[Rummyfan]

What would it look like? At least ten million dead I would say. And a clean-up that would take decades.

[Charles Martel]

Meanwhile, somewhere upstate...

I still have my 1980s Far Side coffee mug with that image on it.

[TADSLOS]

A buying opportunity.

I’ll say this much: based on 9/11 if a terrorist nuked NYC the very next day the press will be able to find Ivy League nitwits who won’t be able to say that what the terrorist did was evil.

Indeed, given the spread of Cultural Marxist nitwittery it should prove easier to find them and also to find them in numbers.

They’ll probably blame us Deplorables for electing Trump.

Or maybe Jews and Christians for being insensitive to Islam....

My Father’s battalion was sent into Berlin not too long after the Russians captured it.

He took a lot of photos. Most of Berlin was badly damaged. I particularly remember one of Berlin High School. It was simply a pile of rubble. Most of the rest of the city was the same.

Since taking office, the president has boasted about the size of his “Nuclear Button,” jettisoned the nuclear deal with Iran, and threatened to unleash “fire and fury like the world has never seen” on North Korea.

Nice timing on the article, fellas. Countdown to NY Magazine claiming Trump's Korea negotiations were a bad deal...three...two...

Maxine Waters is very worried that a nuke attack on the United States might cause Donald Trump to start a war.

If a nuclear attack against NYC happened, I wonder if the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists would advance the doomsday clock.

Wow, we are back to the 80’s! Same song and dance from the usual idiots. The parallels between how Reagan and Trump are vilified is so pathetic.

What the reaction to a nuclear attack on DC would look like

[Gator113]

At the risk of sounding insensitive, xx xxxx, x xxxx xxx’x xxxx (self censored).

[DoughtyOne]

Utter nonsense that Trump has brought back the cold war.

If the Left can think back two years, Hillary Clinton, John McCain, Lindsey Graham, and others were advocating open hostility against Russia.

That wasn’t toying with nuclear war? It sure as hell was.

That was under Barack Hussein Obama.

Leave Trump along you mentally challenged idiot sticks.

“The second reality we have failed to understand is what a nuclear detonation and its aftermath would actually look like. In our imaginations, fueled by apocalyptic fictions like The Road and The Day After, the scale and speed of nuclear annihilation seem too vast and horrific to contemplate. If nuclear war is considered “unthinkable,” that is in no small part because of our refusal to think about it with any clarity or specificity.”

One of my pet peeves is the unwillingness - either because of lack of courage or due to a deliberate attempt to avoid rational consideration of the problem - to consider the actual, scientific facts concerning nuclear weapons and their effects. Such lack of thought is, to say the least, rather unbecoming of members of the species that is at the top of the food chain on this planet - and it got there BECAUSE of its vast intellectual superiority over all other species (well, as a group - there are CERTAINLY exceptions, and most of them vote Democrat). This lack of rational consideration actually prevents the design and implementation of plans to significantly ameliorate the impact of such a horrible event as a nuclear detonation in a city.

HERE are the effects, for any locality, for any size of bomb, for ground- or air-bursts: http://nuclearsecrecy.com/nukemap/

Another interesting site that I found deals with the actual amelioration of the effects of a nuclear blast: https://www.nextbigfuture.com/2008/08/simple-and-affordable-defences-against.html

I saw the cover photo and hit the back button.

There’s a movie I cannot recall which more-accurately portrays such a vehicle: It’s a facsimile of a police van.

It could also be a school bus...anything but a decrepit vehicle begging for a bored officer to pull it over (ala Timothy McVeigh).
