What would happen if a nuclear war were to be sparked between Russia and the United States today? Who would survive?In our most scientifically realistic simu...
I’m portuguese and even though we’re pretty cucked for nato I still doubt there would be that much support to fight for america, especially if it starts over estonia or some shit. The communist party here would obviously be a vehicle for anti-war activism as it is now, so I’d be doing that assuming the state doesn’t go around murdering anti-war people and objectors.
But if I just wanted to drop off the face of the earth? idk, I work for a company that works for the government and the type of service we provide would probably continue, maybe I’d move to the Azores or Madeira just so I wouldn’t get nuked (would be kind of a waste to spend a nuke there right?)
EDIT: Just remembered that there’s an air base in the azores that would 100% get owned, so maybe I’d just stay where I’m at
IIRC, there’s nothing “strategic” (read: nuke-ready B-2s or B-52s) at Lajes Field, just some support craft like cargo planes and tankers. Not to say they couldn’t use it as a stop-over location for fighters or long-range bombers, but if ICBMs and Tridents are flying, it’s so far down the priority list that you’re probably not getting hit with a nuke when a conventional strike is enough to take out the runway.
Good to know, among the left here the Lajes Field is mostly known as the place where Bush, Blair and our PM at the time Barroso (who later went on to head the EU comission and then to Goldman Sachs) declared war on Iraq
The cool thing about Portugal is that if/when Russia/China/Iran/USSR/Monglia (IDK what’s going on) already fought all of Europe and finally gets to your doorstep, you can just assume NATO already lost and surrender without a war.
