WARNING!
This post might be upsetting for some.
KEEP SCROLLING if it is.
I grew up with this fear, and it's rearing its head again with the CRAP that Putin is pulling. Now, as during the Cold War, all it will take is just one stupid mistake...
Originally, I was going to publish many more images, but decided that it would be overkill. We're all nervous enough as it is. Let me share with you the following two links. The first is from the 1960s and the second is much more recent. You'll find they're surprisingly similar.
How to survive a nuclear attack according to Cold War manuals
What to do if a worst-case nuclear scenario actually happens
The one point neither link mentions is the most important...
Bend Over
and
Kiss Your Ass
Goodbye
I don't know. Are we afraid to die? Should we be? Why? Pain? What is that? Look how we're all living? Look what we're living with and through? I really wish euthanasia was legal in this country. I'd have a pod sitting right next to the chair I sit in to write. But ultimately? Can death be any worse than what we're living through now?
ReplyDeleteupton - Physician assisted suicide is legal in Oregon. Nuclear bombing is not at the top of my list as a way to go.
ReplyDeleteWell, I think Rasputin is still alive and well in Russia.
ReplyDeleteThere is no limit to the worst. We can live endless times worse than we live now. Only now, with the widespread prosperity in the western areas, we have forgotten how people lived even 100 years ago, when you could have died from an infection, from a flu; when you went through two world wars at age 47. When there was still plague, smallpox, tuberculosis, cholera. (In Italy, we had the last manifestations of cholera in 1971.) When, if you weren't rich, you ate once a day, if you were lucky. When you lived, between bedbugs and lice and cockroaches, in 10 in a dirty room ... When every 10 years there was a war and you had to leave as a soldier ...
ReplyDeleteXersex - Yes, too many humans have too short of a memory.
ReplyDeleteAccording to the last map, seems that Canada is the safest place to be then....
ReplyDeleteJust bragging but that would be the WORST mistake to do as the human life on Earth would be almost extinguished.
JiEL - As I'm sure know, even the Southern Hemisphere would be affected very negatively. They would just die slowly there.
ReplyDeleteMy wife read the most recent one about what to do in case of a nuclear attack. We live in an area surrounded by nuke targets. I've told my wife the best thing for us to do would be to run TOWARD the blast as fast as we can. It would be quicker and easier that way.
ReplyDeletePat - Grim, but you're right. I don't want to be a surviver after one of those.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't bother me anymore. I almost wish someone WOULD push the button. Reset the world. It's a sewer and it's all so tiresome.
ReplyDeleteI stopped drinking 42 years ago... and I've started stocking up on Johnnie Walker Red scotch just in case...
Uncle Vic - That sounds like a good plan. Although I would prefer to be vaporized.
