What if Putin goes full on bat shit crazy and strikes?

As the only country to ever use a nuke (well, the A Bomb), what if the US feels that a Russian strike is eminent, and decides not to wait?

Or any other scenario…. What’s your plan? Have you bought an Alex Jones or George Noori survival package of dried tuna and radiation resistant jerky? Have you got a flashlight that would light up the moon? Do you own a glock to protect your family?

I’m not worried, my N95 will protect me.

The lucky ones will the ones who are immediately vaporized.

Not in the least.

I doubt too many people in Toronto are prepared. And have no doubt, Toronto would be hit. The entire country is unprepared.

I never thought I'd see something like this. (The threat of a nuclear war.) Mind you, I never thought I'd see a pandemic either.

Putin made these threats before, so it's nothing new. That said I looked online to see how much a hazmat suit costs.

My plan is to lie in bed, pull the blankets over my head and whimper like the coward that I damn well am! (It's always worked in the past!)

If the U.S. and Russia launch nukes at each other, it won't matter what your plans are. Those who aren't immediately killed will be in a world not worth living in, most likely dying in misery and agony over a more drawn out period.
Kudos to those who try to make it through and rebuild humankind, but I'd be peacing out personally!

When I was in the reserves they always used to say if they start dropping nukes, to bend down, put your head between your legs and kiss your ass goodbye.

However, you should prepare a bug out backpack in case you survive the initial blast. The Russian nukes are like everything else Russian and might miss, fail, fizzle. Fortune favors the prepared.

I'd say the Generals and other military are pretty much guaranteed to kill Putin, sue for peace, lots of show trials of Oligarchs and then it goes on from there.

They all know what a launch means for them and their families.

I live far enough from targets to not worry about it, unless they start doing ground bursts upwind of me however I should be able to avoid that problem.
I'd worry about an EMP taking out my bank records and also the investments going tits up.
There is not nearly the same amount of nukes that were in play back when I was a young lad.

Also duck and cover is still very good advice, advice that was battle tested. It works. If anyone disputes this, you need to do some actual research. If I am going to die in an attack I'd rather it be on my own terms than lying in a ditch slowing bleeding out wearing a coat of shardes of broken glass. Not every area of effect is insta death, there are areas where shelter can make a difference.

Best way to deal with the fear that the nukes are coming is to grow up. It's not going to happen, double plus so as the west has over and over again said they are not going in. Not gonna happen. Also good advice if you fear pedophiles, grow up... they don't like adults ;) ---Jimmy Carr
I'll worry more about the health effects of my obesity.

One day you should go to your local university library and read up on nuclear war. It's interesting and a lot of common perceptions are wrong. There are a lot of good books, even books by peacenicks. If we lived close together and knew each other, I'd be happy to take a trip in. They are usually in the "U" section assuming the library uses the library of congress set up.
Unless you live right downtown of a major city AND the missile is somewhat on target in which case, FUBAR city.
