I reckon it would be worse today as I wouldn't survive 5 minutes without my mobile phone! Also I remember watching this QED documentary when I was a kid. Watched it again recently, the concept of the water boiling in the park lake at Battersea shat me up, still does. Edit: my bad it was St James park. At battersea a bomb dropped on St Pauls would just melt buses. You're welcome! Edited October 3, 2022 by Renton 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much more realistic than the Day after. Honory mention to Zak Dingle in the council bunker 😂 Sure the Q.E.D episode showed that most bunkers they tested wouldn't save you either. That was grim like. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much more realistic than the Day after. Honory mention to Zak Dingle in the council bunker 😂 Sure the Q.E.D episode showed that most bunkers they tested wouldn't save you either. That was grim like. The first one is basically a trench which this couple made which kept filling with ground water. Two weeks in a wet ditch. Then they built a Morrison shelter which cost £700 in 1982 and would let you survive your house collapsing on you, but you'd die in the firestorm anyway. The last one was a proper bunker which would cost as much as a house. A nuclear war isn't worth surviving. As a middle aged man I can just about accept that. But you can't accept it for children. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anth 54 Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 (edited) Aren't there satalite pictures of nuclear weapons being shunted towards Ukraine via train?

trophyshy 6434 Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 He is only going to be satisfied with a military victory. And the same is true for Ukraine because they cannot trust Putin. On this basis it now seems more likely to me than not that Vlad will invoke all possible means. Russians are crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeys Fist 38768 Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 Don’t blame them for surrendering tbh. Why the fuck would you want to fight in a war with no decent gear, for no good reason, and with winter on the way? This won’t be over anytime soon, regardless of the Ukrainian successes in regaining territories. I hope the Ukrainian military treat them well as POWs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
