>Realistically what would be the overall casualties during a Nuclear War and its subsequent fallout?

The initial MAD situation would probably kill less than 10% of the global population, maybe 25% as a worse case scenario. The real problem would be the collapse in infrastructure, supply lines, agricultural/food production, and telecommunication. I don't actually know if *Nuclear Winter is real, it may or may not be, but the nuclear electromagnetic pulse created by so many nukes would probably fry or otherwise compromise our modern satellite and wireless systems. The vast quantities of nuclear particulate would also make life "difficult" for centuries: it would be in the rain, in the water, in the dust, the wind would pick it up and compromise health and fertility in essentially all vertebrates (bugs, plants, mushrooms, germs, slime-based organisms, don't mind radiation so much).

It wouldn't "end the world" everyone in the thread likes to repeat; it would "end the world as we know it though", and maybe as many as 1-3 billion people (mostly children and seniors) would probably die from miscellaneous bullshit; disease, malnutrition, crime, and normal winter.

Assuming it isn't a possibility though is retarded and irresponsible.
If it's too hot you can just take a jacket off, but if it's too cold and you didn't bring one you can't put it on.
