>>511412081Fallout falls in an oval shape towards the prevailing wind and is only a really major risk during the first 48 hours or so and about 6-10 miles out from blast, everything going beyond that 6-10 mile range is only going to increase cancer rates by <1%, after 2 weeks it won’t even matter at all. They’ve done quite a few ground burst tests that launched fallout in NM and nobody died from fallout there, but there was an increase in cancer and other things, not the end of the world though.

Nuclear winter is also a meme, they burned multiple cities creating more particulate than a nuke during ww2 with no environmental impact. Even a minor volcanic eruption produces more atmospheric particulate than every city being nukes simultaneously.
Think about it, every year in california more area of forests burn than area of city would burn in a nuclear engagement.
EMP attack is also a meme, the area effected by EMP burst would be smaller than everyone thinks and wouldn’t damage much, they’ve done multiple atmospheric tests in the past with no recorded issues with EMP.
