How would you feel about turning on the television and hearing that nukes were on their way to your locale?

While it seems a bit drastic, on the upside, it would end speculation about your lot joining the 6N.Sards wrote: Wed Mar 09, 2022 12:00 pm There's massive support from South Africans for Russia. Cheerleaders wishing for the Great Ruskies to destroy the evil colonial West. It would appear that South Africa will not be affected by a nuclear holocaust. So I am good thanks. We will remember you lot fondly
We would be the ones with empty stadiums instead of the rugby mad South African nation.Lobby wrote: Wed Mar 09, 2022 12:02 pmWhile it seems a bit drastic, on the upside, it would end speculation about your lot joining the 6N.Sards wrote: Wed Mar 09, 2022 12:00 pm There's massive support from South Africans for Russia.

And there is the Gavin Henson option of the missing poll.
Being of the older generation it is not new. With about 15 minutes from launch to the UK there is not a lot you can actually do about it.Ethologist wrote: Wed Mar 09, 2022 11:45 am We're probably closer to nuclear war now than at any point in the lives of most of us.

Perhaps it’s because we get to hear more about it but it seems more dangerous now, if only because Putin’s rationality is questionable.westport wrote: Wed Mar 09, 2022 3:10 pmBeing of the older generation it is not new.

Because the international "liberal, rules based order" is neo colonial. It benefits a small number of mostly white nations in the west (which constitutes about 10% of the worlds population ) and leaves mostly everyone else as second class global citizens.Sards wrote: Wed Mar 09, 2022 12:00 pm There's massive support from South Africans for Russia.

That's why you always keep the inner when the paper runs out. Not only a key structural element in any shelter, they can also double as a sighting / launching component if home built weapons are needed later.Margin__Walker wrote: Wed Mar 09, 2022 7:30 pmThat reminds me to stock up.

You can build a shelter out of bog roll, right?
I remember as a young kid being terrified of full Nuke war in the 80’s. Didn’t really know what was going on.SaintK wrote: Wed Mar 09, 2022 11:52 amWe were far closer to it when I was a young kid in the 60'sEthologist wrote: Wed Mar 09, 2022 11:45 am We're probably closer to nuclear war now than at any point in the lives of most of us.

Bit of a silly question really as the answer is so obvious
I was the same, but I got over it after I saw a documentary about Biologic, or Chemical attacks; all of a sudden Nuclear seemed the nice clean way out.Ymx wrote: Wed Mar 09, 2022 8:04 pmI remember as a young kid being terrified of full Nuke war in the 80’s.

But it felt like that even in NZ.
Is that the full 100MT one, or the downrated 50MT one they tested ?
That's more like it
Would be curious how they announce it.
Russians are big on looking out for the interest of minority groups alright.Hugo wrote: Wed Mar 09, 2022 4:50 pmBecause the international "liberal, rules based order" is neo colonial.

Its why Imran Khan pushed back on western attempts to force Pakistan to take a side in the conflict, the west still treats folks in the developing world as colonial subjects that should do as they are told.
Its been one of the major principles of the BLM movement that white people benefit from the status quo and whether they are racist or not they want to uphold it.
The arrogance of the west is astonishing but I guess it has been normalised through centuries of colonialism. The world simply has to bend to the whims of the west because it was ever thus.

I remember a (possibly apocryphal) report in the early 80s about an American family who were terrified by the prospect of nuclear war and, to ensure their safety, worked out where on the planet would be least likely to be hit by nuclear weapons.Ymx wrote: Wed Mar 09, 2022 8:04 pmI remember as a young kid being terrified of full Nuke war in the 80’s.
