My biggest issue with WHT does it look like is as I said . The entire northern hemisphere Is pretty much screwed, who is coming to save them? Medical at best would be my guess, or medival with some sporadic knowledge of the old days, but lack of resources, starvation, disease, radiation, where do you move an entire contaminated natiins soil.. Just saying.
Europe is utterly screwed, the Soviet Union as well . Others are going to get a few as well who are not aligned or expecting it.
In 2018 if you live in South America or most of Africa.. Life probably resembles 1990 or better if they are lucky. In Europe, the USA and the Soviet Union its party like its 1870 at best.
Even if your city doesn't take a bomb the fallout is coming. Even if you don't get vaporized the weather is going to suck and crops are going to fail and livestock are going to die.
Disease .. All the biological weapons and diseases that we bastardized are going to ravage things. Then just think of this.. How many crazy things are built and weaponized we don't know about. .
I for one am glad we never got to find out. Too me threads about sums it up for a lot of the world
It's not a scare tactic . Just think if the soviets can get 3-5000 nukes off the ground and the USA does as well,
It's ugly
Now think mother nature won't stop, so earthquakes, volcanos, hurricanes will still happen too on top of thinning ozone . Possibly destroyed since we had already done a number on the one layer in the 80s .
