Try to make same calculation as shown in your picture, but here you have 6 Mirv-2 Megaton nukes overlapping each other hitting Washington.

Sure, there are numerous scenarios. It could be a massive strike, it could be a very limited strike. I can't do much about a massive strike but if the Russians hit us with 10 nukes and the US responds in kind, that could be enough to stop both parties.

As I said, who knows what can happen and how our chances are, but I am thinking about the possibility that smart measures the first 30 days could allow us to get over the worst of it and continue with our lives, whereas not making these moves could result in us being the fallen victims of a small strike that the rest of the nation holds vigils and lights candles for you.

^ You're right there are many scenarios when it comes to this MAD-thing.

Lets hope it doesn't come so far.

Even though you may be correct when you wrote:

I say 50/50 chance we will have a nuke exchange within the next year
(not exactly what you wrote)

Forgot something
In this picture they use a 10kt nuke-I call these small nukes tactical nukes and would most likely be used on the battle field-When it comes to military complex and cities the strength will a lot higher.

In case of even "just a limited" nuclear exchange, even if not killing me directly or in the aftermath, the stupidity in this event most likely would frustrate me to death anyway.

It's not only nukes we have to fear-there's also Chemical and biological weapons.

I don't know which of these weapon of mass destruction is worse

Well if you ever find yourself within the lethal radius of their payload you want it to be nuclear so the result isn't a slow lingering one.

Different to what usually is said, chemical weapons are not really used as WMDs. Also, Russia today has only a tiny fraction of what it once had. Most of its former arsenals has been destroyed, confirmed so, due to disarmament treaties.

Well Neal, it would've been nice to do one, last subsim BBQ, but it may take a Texan to end this? Here's to extra spicy BBQ sauce and banana creme pie!

I have learned to trust and be a fan of Max Brooks.

Even though he sold the rights to World War Z to Brad Pitt.

Seriously, he has some very close ties to the US Army and West Point.
