DoomCast: Limited Nukes Doom?

from The Siege of New Hampshire · host Mic Roland

Much ink has been spilled over how TEOTWAWKI things would be if there ever was an all-out nuclear exchange between the US and Russia or the US and China. Mass death. Lingering radiation and the prospect of a few years of nuclear winter to starve out whoever survived the blasts. But, what if there were a less-total exchange? Instead of hundreds of nukes, maybe only a dozen between two lesser, but still nuclear powers? That would still be terrible, but would would it trigger TEOTWAWKI and perpetual winter too? In this episode, Mic, Brian and Jeff look into the mini-Doom of a limited exchnage. Here is the video Brian refers to in this episode, and sparked his Swiss Cheese Conspiracy Theory: If World War 3 Happened Tomorrow, Where Would You Hide? : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAbUsHzGjos Show your relief at NOT being doomed! Consider showing your appreciation for some less doomy outlooks by buying Mic a cup of virtual coffee at  Buy Me A Coffee or by becoming a Patron on Patreon, or a monthly member at Buy Me A Coffee, to keep the Doom light shining.
