    How would a post-nuclear world look like?

    No. 1) The allies of both countries would understandably freak at the idea that they can burn but the people deciding to do the burning are untouched. 2) Once one is used...

    How would a post-nuclear world look like?

    That's actually a fair point. Paradoxically, I think the less connected and advanced you are the better you can get through The End. I think the biggest problems for those countries would be how much, if at all, the US or the Soviets back their government, supply them with food and monetary...

    I actually don't know where you're from but I've seen you on the forum.

    How would a post-nuclear world look like?

    Oh, I don't question at all that the South will be better off than the North. But there will probably be a hard time as people adapt to losing the easy, cheap, outsourced stuff and deal with the fallout - real and figurative - of the mass suicide to the north.

    How would a post-nuclear world look like?

    Also, two small-scale bombs with the rest of the country unaffected (...well, by nukes...) and central command and control untouched. That... just won't be happening in an exchange.

    How would a post-nuclear world look like?

    I'd quote from Threads, which drives home the title of the film: So, yes, I provide English lessons for my students. My needs are fed by them paying me (so I can pay for my food and bills), and the food is provided by people across this country and around the world (I'm sipping Dr. Pepper and...

    How would a post-nuclear world look like?

    The war plan Seven Days to the Rhine shows the Soviets nuking Vienna. You know. A neutral capital. And even if there weren't any US bases in western Europe, there are NATO bases and the countries' own bases. And even if they weren't hit all of the radiation, fallout, fires, refugees, civil...

    How would a post-nuclear world look like?

    Exactly. Hence why I get irritated by this trope being predominant in the forum.

    How would a post-nuclear world look like?

    It's more that 1983 Doomsday is FULL of painstakingly thought-out pop culture pages talking about everyone from Paul McCartney to U2 surviving the war and continuing their careers and touring across the world. I've even seen people contacting the real people and asking where they were on that...

    And then musing about how long it'll be before the Rex Rockers can resume their tour and describing said tour in painstaking detail.

    How would a post-nuclear world look like?

    Also this. Even places completely untouched by bombs are going to be dealing with so many secondary and tertiary problems that it would be a miracle if they came out recognizable.

    How would a post-nuclear world look like?

    As someone said, Threads gives you a good idea despite being set a decade plus later. What people on this forum seem to want in stuff like the equally decade-plus-later 1983 Doomsday - a world full of quirky survivor states, a rich pop culture, and an increasingly recovering global civilization...

    Transformers 3 recreated JFK for its own alternate Apollo 11 mission IIRC...

    WI: Lincoln had McClellan arrested before the 1864 election?

    Seems a bit out of character for Lincoln. And suicidal - he just handed those calling him a tyrant all the proof they need.

    AH meme: Kaliningrad annexed by Czech Republic, renamed to Královec

    My students have shared so many memes with me. So. Many. Memes.

    Yamato at Pearl Harbor

    She gets nowhere near Pearl between the fuel problems (which was, well, a big part of why the Japanese were launching this offensive), the considerable defenses before the harbor, and the heightened alert of those forces still operable around Hawaii. Yamato (literally) goes down in history even...

    What if the Spartan General who helped Carthage in the 1st Punic War never existed?

    Not at all. Happens all the time in world history that someone dies at just the wrong time. Ironically, what you're suggesting - a sudden storm - could be since humans can't affect weather. Ships sank and people got sick all the time back then; the Spartan would be no different. You should ask...

    What if the Spartan General who helped Carthage in the 1st Punic War never existed?

    I don't think it's necessary to put this in ASB. As the Carthaginians learned (and the last thing they learned) Rome was just not going to be like "well, we tried!" and give up. Like any other proconsul, Regulus wanted glory and was intent on taking Carthage. If he really wanted to do it, with...

    How the War Was Lost

    I'm a bit amused that everyone's complaining about the suicide and not the fact Churchill physically strangled Halifax. As for the suicide itself... I'm not too opposed to it, though I think it's a bit much. As someone who is himself plagued by the black dog and has started into that ultimate...
