Another day, another threat of nuclear retaliation against the West by Putin.
Realistically, if Russia were to launch missiles against European capitals, how long a warning would the inhabitants get? What about North America (USA, Canada)?
Does NATO have the capability of in-flight interception? Or other defense mechanisms?
How deep underground is safe to protect against a modern nuclear blast?
Stay safe y’all.
Thankfully, not even Putin can launch missiles on his own. For one, I wouldn’t expect him to even know how.
There have been nuclear scares before, and the goodness of man has often prevented them. Famously, during the cold war, Russian computers erroneously detected a US missile launch, and despite being ordered to retaliate, Stanislav Petrov correctly deduced it was an error and did not launch.
Happened in the US too. A NORAD computer basically said “they launched the nukes” but it was actually the moon.
Great, now we’re relying on the professionalism of the Russian army for survival
