For anybody who may not remember 'Threads', it was a very famous BBC docudrama made in early 1983, and it focused on what could've happened in Great Britain, just before, during, and after, a nuclear conflict.
However, though, I will also focus on other parts of the world as well, the U.S. and Canada in particular.{I would also appreciate a little help from the resident Britons on here.

In honor of Amerigo Vespucci and Macragge1's excellent TLs, 'The Cuban Missile War' and 'Protect and Survive', respectively, I bring you:
'Threads' Revisited
A CaliBoy1990 {semi-original} story
May 2, 1985
London, the U.K.
"This is Albert Paisley for the BBC in London. The civil war in Iran today has a frightening turn for the worst. A massive truck bomb exploded in Tehran today, killing over 400 prominent supporters of the Ayatollah's regime. The leftist Iranian Liberation Army has claimed responsibility for the attack, claiming that it was in retaliation for the attacks on several thousand leftists in the Mashhad area in March.............."
Julian Marshall stared at the TV in his little flat in northwest London. "F***ing hell.", the American Vietnam vet sighed, while He remembered the '60s quite well, and although the Weather Underground and a few other far-left loony outfits had made a few threats here and there, they never did things quite like that. Ever since the Iranian Civil War had started last November, things just seemed to get crazier and crazier, slowly but surely. Julian sat back down to finish his beer, and waited for his fiancee to come home.
More to come soon, I hope.
