This X 1000.
I just watched the movie again the other day to remind myself how fucking horrific it is.
As far as I'm concerned at this point anyone pushing or dragging us to war with Russia is trying to bring this hell upon my daughter and as such they are my enemy.
100% CORRECT.
In a place as small & populated as yours, yep you're toast.
Yeah, I spend a fair amount of time less than 100 yards from the largest naval base in Europe. If it happens there's a fair chance I'm toast, instantaneously evaporated...like you say, I'vengot a boat, sobI have options. If it gets too mad I'll take the boat to the far side of the Isle of Wight and sail from there down to lands end, ensure my daughter knows to head that way and meet me there...
Just remember that is over dramatised & the damage inflated to get a point across, the reality is somewhat less effective than made out.
Still a bloody nightmare if you don't have significant distance from targets.
Have a play with this.
And have a look at this.
I remember this, it was proper interesting.. then it kept going and going and going and I thought 'bloody hell, that's a lot of tests'...
Yeah, the only thing humans have created that may have come close enough to lifting enough debris high enough was the Tsar Bomba which is defunct, everything now is tiny by comparison.
Supervolcanos can do it easily.
The thing you can do with them that would really screw things up is EMP from a high altitude detonation or even worse a sufficiently spaced series of them.
Say goodbye to the modern world & most of its people.
