Seems like the Civil war escalated pretty fast, but the US had a few years warning about WWII due to its starting elsewhere. Just wondering at what point to move kids out of likely target areas.
If you're genuinely worried New Hampshire and Oregon have little to no major targets (cities or missile silos both) and fall outside of the major fallout patterns. Most of the radiation would vanish after the first couple of days, too (alpha radiation is a bit rough on nuclei). You also have to wonder, since there isn't quite the same hair-trigger disposition of forces or huge conventional forces imbalance a la the Red Army poised against Western Europe, whether nuclear weapons would be a first resort at all.
I'm not sure why anyone posting on this forum wouldn't be genuinely worried. But then, lots of people say they believe in evolution and don't apply their knowledge to their own lifestyle.
Part of what I'm asking about is what the escalation to nuclear weapons is likely to look like and how long it will take - minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years? Okay, that's pretty much all I was asking in my previous post.
You know, like will I have enough warning to buy and move to a home in New Hampshire or would I need a vacation cottage purchased in advance?
