- rbanffy 10y agoNuclear war is the one where "everybody dies" is the best case scenario.
- ido 10y agoNot really. There are definitely scenarios (likely to more probable one) where the nuclear war is not "USA vs Russia/China nuking the entire planet". The article itself suggest a nuclear conflict between India and Pakistan would result in 2 billion death (supposedly mostly around India/Pakistan), which means the majority of the worlds population will survive.
- pmoriarty 10y agoIndeed. There was a great article which I can't find now about all the missiles still pointing from the US to Russia and vice versa, where after the fall of the Soviet Union a General formerly in charge of the Soviet arsenal met his British counterpart and assured him that in the Soviet nuclear war preparedness plans, the entire UK was a complete overkill zone.
