The UN secretary-general said that nuclear war is "back within the realm of possibility" following Russia's warning earlier this year it was putting its nuclear forces on alert amid its war in Ukraine, which threatens to draw NATO into direct combat with Russia. Since then, nuclear threats have continued to raise concerns a nuclear weapon could be used in a conflict for the first time in decades.

I wouldn’t worry about any nuclear strike. I would be snatched away from the earth by the rapture.

While EMP effects are real, that book was enormously exaggerated on purpose to support lobbying for a few groups

While the Russians and probably china could certainly take down the power grid this way it would take more than a couple and it would be immediately obvious who did it

“ Nuclear annihilation? Gee, thanks Biden. “

Gee, thanks Putie.
I doubt Biden has plans to launch first.

Thank God. Humanity -- all of it -- is a cancer that must be erased.

Conspiracy theory addiction can lead to chronic hysteria. Nuclear weapons aren't all that. Russia, China and their allies are coming, but there's no reason to surrender to them.

3 definitions found for hysteria
From The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48 : 

  Hysteria \Hys*te"ri*a\, n. [NL.: cf. F. hyst['e]rie. See
     Hysteric.] (Med.)
     A nervous affection, occurring almost exclusively in women,
     in which the emotional and reflex excitability is
     exaggerated, and the will power correspondingly diminished,
     so that the patient loses control over the emotions, becomes
     the victim of imaginary sensations, and often falls into
     paroxism or fits.
     [1913 Webster]
  
     Note: The chief symptoms are convulsive, tossing movements of
           the limbs and head, uncontrollable crying and laughing,
           and a choking sensation as if a ball were lodged in the
           throat. The affection presents the most varied
           symptoms, often simulating those of the gravest
           diseases, but generally curable by mental treatment
           alone. Hysteric

Iran listed their first nuclear attacks. As near as I can recall they plan destroy New York , DC, Chicago, LA, SF, Vegas, and a couple more. Boston - anyway they have definite war plans to destroy their Great Satan

And don’t fall for the propaganda movies made for the anti-defense investors who’ve been claiming that there will be no more wars. Those investors are more afraid of unforeseen changes in markets than anything else (e.g., changes caused by wars).

Nuclear exchanges would be survivable for people outside of blast areas and people who aren’t downwind and close to ground bursts. Air bursts (the vast majority of strikes) won’t release enough fallout for concern.
