Holy fuck that was something.... After 24 hours or so of being bombed one targeted my neighboorhood just now and the local sirens went off. I had to run to the bomb shelter. After a minute or two I heard the explosion overhead. Luckily I dont think it landed, it probably exploded in the air.. but damn.

@mur2501 Thats a very very complex answer. Both sides are wrong and should be ashamed in this case for countless reasons.

@freemo
Has there been any war where anyone side have been absolutely right?

@freemo @mur2501 sided with germany for independence from soviet union/russia. mannerheim still is kind of a national hero there.

@bonifartius @freemo
It's a similar story with India. Half of the Indian army at that time fought with the British in hopes that Britain will give independence in return. While the other half seperated and went to fight alongside Germany in hopes that they will defeat Britain.
Two ways for the same goal

@mur2501

Unfortunately the way things are going it looks like India is going to side with the bad guys in WWIII.

I've been reading up on that topic. Nuclear war could actually be survivable by many people.

Those near ground zero of the targets would die and anyone who could not find shelter underground would succumb to the radiation from the fallout. Of those who go underground and are properly shielded and could stay underground for a couple weeks, they could survive. Although many of those would have shortened lives due to increased cancer rates.

There would be plenty of food for awhile because there would be so few people compared to all of the canned food and such at various locations in the distribution chain. That food could actually last for a decade or so until the survivors got organized and started growing food again.

It would be one of the worst catastrophes that humans had ever experienced, but fortunately (or unfortunately) the species would survive.
