How hard would traveling great distances be after a nuclear war? This would be based off of the 1983 Doomsday TL which depicts a nuclear war in 1983.


For example, Let's say I'm a Mexican living in the Northern US, let's say Boston. The US was destroyed in that TL but not Mexico, and Mexico still manages to survive as a functioning nation afterward the nuclear war, and took in quite a large number of US refugees from border states. Assuming I survive, how long would it be before I'll be able to make it back home?

Now a harder scenario: Say I'm an Argentinian living in the UK. So I have to either fly or sail home. Again, UK is destroyed but Argentina remains as a functioning nation and remained actually fairly stable throughout the 1983 DOomsday TL. How long would it be before I'd be able to cross the Atlantic back home?
