If the political West truly does not want to cause a world-ending conflict, it will stop its aggression.
Unfortunately, at present, there is no evidence to believe such forces exist in Western establishments.
Written by Drago Bosnic, independent geopolitical and military analyst
When talking about nuclear conflict, generals, wargamers, strategists and military experts usually focus on the immediate effects of a nuclear exchange, such as the number of people killed in the initial blasts, megalopolises leveled to the ground, etc. What most people fail to pay attention to is the longer-term aftermath of a nuclear war. Such a conflict carries certain consequences which are in many ways even worse than the actual shooting war.
One of those consequences is connected to the near-total collapse of global supply chains, especially those concerning food. With the majority of the global population not producing any agricultural goods, food supply collapse would have a terrifyingly detrimental effect on most people on the planet, causing widespread hunger and the ensuing chaos which would end the world as we know it, most likely forever.
Scientists at Rutgers University projected the amount of soot that would be thrust into the Earth’s atmosphere in a variety of nuclear war scenarios, from smaller exchanges between India and Pakistan to a full-blown war between Russia and the United States. A relatively modest and localized Indo-Pakistani war would slash the world’s average caloric output by 7% within the first five years – bigger than any disruption humanity has faced thus far, ever.
“Even for a regional nuclear war, large parts of the world may suffer famine,” the study’s authors claim.
On the other hand, a possible Russia-US nuclear war would almost completely devastate global food production, reducing it by at least 90% in only three to four years after the actual shooting would cease, the researchers claim. At least 75% of the global population would perish in just two years.
In addition to collapsing crop yields, the Rutgers University model tried to account for export restrictions, as well as mitigation efforts such as giving humans livestock feed to eat. As devastating a picture as the study presents, it’s understated. “The ozone layer would be destroyed by the heating of the stratosphere, producing more ultraviolet radiation at the surface, and we need to understand that impact on food supplies,” Rutgers assistant research professor Lili Zia told Sky News. Researchers also didn’t factor in changes in fertilizer and food supplies, which would be substantial.
Noting that crises “with nuclear undertones are festering,” earlier this month, United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned that mankind is “just one misunderstanding away from nuclear annihilation.” In addition to Russia, US imperialist belligerence is also heightening tensions with other nuclear powers, such as China. Back in June, The New York Times reported:
“Last summer, hundreds of new missile silos began appearing in the Chinese desert. The Pentagon declared that Beijing, which had long said it needed only a ‘minimum deterrent,’ was moving to build an arsenal of ‘at least’ 1,000 nuclear arms by 2030.”
The issue at hand is that the political West, particularly the US, can’t seem (or doesn’t want) to find an off-ramp. Just as tensions between Washington DC and Beijing were starting to die down after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s controversial visit to China’s breakaway province of Taiwan, an unannounced delegation of five more US legislators arrived in Taipei on Sunday. The bellicose move provoked even more anger in Beijing, resulting in another round of military drills near Taiwan.
Against the Rutgers University study’s generally horrific backdrop, one country stood out as faring far better than others – Australia’s caloric output showed either only small reductions or even a slight increase. Still, the researchers found the Land Down Under would be flooded with refugees from Asia, which would inevitably lead to its collapse. The study is considered in-depth, but it still doesn’t take into account all the possible consequences of a global nuclear exchange.
The world certainly needs to work together to prevent this gloomy scenario from ever becoming a reality. However, the world is faced with incessant escalatory actions and aggression coming from the political West, which is starting wars all across the globe, in addition to economic and other forms of pressure and coercion used against any “non-compliant fence sitters“, as approximately 80% of the world was described by the political West’s leadership.
Any attempt to appease the US belligerent thalassocracy has been proven futile, even counterproductive, as the political West sees such actions as a form of weakness. It is precisely this viewpoint that is responsible for nearly all global security risks. Unfortunately, at present, there is no evidence to believe such forces exist in Western establishments.
What nuclear war? Russia is always running around reassuring all their enemies that the Russians would never use nuclear weapons first because Putin is some kind of passive humanitarian or some such….it is no wonder the West keeps escalating, they know they can get away with anything and everything.
Not at all, if it happens it is only Vladolfs fault. He shouldn’t have nuclear weapons to begin with. Actually ‘russia’ should be a demilitarized zone, and China as well.

F. you and your paste on line activity
“Get away with anything”, are you nuts? “Russia” getting away with the theft of research from atom project by Rosenberg couple, talk about “getting away with things”! You’re thinking completely wrong Vanya!
Life has gone too complicated for humans occupying this planet , so l don’t mind at all if we’ll have a total reset to redefine humanity.
What nuclear war indeed.
Not to belabor the point, but the laws of physics (from before “science” became “scientism”) precludes the existence of “nuclear explosions.”
To keep it short and sweet, to those that still value delving into the details, here is a good start:

There is no need for a “nukular woar” after all, 2.5 billion people have already been killed via “Nucleic War.”
Believe whatever you would like, just realize that “Nuclear Weapons” have as much scientific validity as the “Flat Earth” bullshit.
Good God, what bullshit.
It is like the opposite BS of the nuclear war fear mongering BS 😆
Your false equivalency post here indicates you have your head wedged deeply up your ass, not unlike this ‘nuclear weapons don’t exist’ asshole. Well done.
Moron !

You’re too kind. btw why try to educate such scum, he is a lost cause.
Even with so many incredibly stupid assholes amongst humanity at large, you are a massive, yawning sphincter of arrogance and stupidity of astonishing proportion.
Russia will use any means it deems necessary if Russia is under existential threat. Putin himself has said that.
Putin keeps changing the doctrine to please his “partners” or something…
There will be no nuclear war. Nuclear war is a tool of the elite to goad people.
You deluded Zi0ni$t t00l!..
With all these West and xoxol eager attacks on Energodar nuclear power station, I started to think that Chernobyl disaster was the sabotage by the West or local xoxol elites.
Given the USA dropped 2 atomic bombs on non-military cities in Japan, your argument reveals your own stupidity and complacency.
What elite? hahahah Why are the parasite scum deceivers called that? They must have chosen the term for themselves.

As long as Zionist Israel /Tel Aviv is nuked as well.
I hope Hezbollah and Iran have the coordinates for every Israeli nuclear silo
According to Iran Intelligence –YES they do Jnoub including their so called “secret ones ” .
Bill gates probably nut himself when he read the world will reduce by 5 billion
LOL, sad but true!
Problem is the Washington regime is starting to resemble the unhinged balance of the Kyiv regime, it is not acting rationally anymore. Article precision strikes the point in conclusion. They believe their own hype of being exceptional and an indispensable nation, USA is so rotten from the core out, it’s unlikely to ever relinquish it’s Fourth Reich aspirations now.
I agree, the Western leaders are as indispensable as Herpes.
Slava Rossiya
Russia & China is going to nuke the US simeltaniously from 4 directions.
again this idiot Bosnic with his dreams of nuclear war. Wtf is wrong with him? does he have a terminal disease or something ?
only we moron amerikan peasants believe nuke war possible—ruling class always lick Russian boots; they strong, we lgbt and have swiss bank account, villa Monaco
Bill Gates reads report and discovers: “FIVE BILLION PEOPLE WOULD DIE IN RUSSIA-US NUCLEAR WAR”
Bill Gates: “do it”.
Russia must do what Russia must do to bring Zelenska to heel and teach the deep state run impostors who have taken over the U.S a lesson.
Woke shit ends at Russia’s doorstep.
From there, the U.S burns itself out and a great cleansing of those people will take place because all this woke socialist garbage requires infinite growth, and that is not an expense that the world can afford for something so useless.
Great it means someone going to survive. So, what are you waiting for?
It would not take much to reduce the population by 5 billion people. 1. Stop fertilizer production or stop its trade with unfriendly countries. Reduces yield 2. Increase fuel costs to the farmers, who can now plant less acreage. Reduces yield 3. Increase the costs of pesticides to the farmer. Reduces yield 4. Earth’s magnetic field continues to weaken, allowing the jet stream to wander, bringing erratic weather to the croplands. Reduces yield 5. Increase government meddling in trading agricultural products. Reduces yield
I think we are well on are way to reducing the Earth’s population without throwing nukes around. What would take a decade, would only take a year if nukes are used.
The globalist nazi comunist satanic usurers bankers, which have enslaved all the west with their private printing of money and criminal conspiracies, think they will not risk in their luxurious bunkers.In case they survive, I believe that the rest of the survivors will take care of them
Bury the exits of their occupied bunkers & seal their fate forever.

In Putin really is a Believer he will launch the nukes as he would be doing God’s work against the forces of Satan.
DC and the Northern Virginia area, NY, London, Israel should be totally wiped off the map for all time.
And Rome.
Russia can’t even bring itself to blow up the bridges that supply Kiev’s troops on the front let alone use nuclear weapons on a “partner”.
The best ‘off ramp’ for certain folks in the US would be a plank walk in mid ocean.
This death toll is simply not true. I’m definitely not wanting any nuclear conflict but this 5 billion number is way over inflated because it assumes all the nuke detonations will be surface bursts. This whole time the Russia and US doctrines call for most of the targets to be hit by air burst for maximum destruction. Air bursts do not suck ground debris up into the atmosphere and they produce very little fallout. Moreover the total amount of stratosphere heating would be effectively minimal so the ozone layer is in no real danger. The study is simply wrong.
GANADO HUMANO ???
COMO MUCHO HABRA 20 A 30 MIL ARMAS NUCLEARES DE TODO TIPO OSEA LAS DE ARTILLERIA TACTICA Y ESTRATEGICA INCLUIDAS LAS DE RESERVA O A PUNTO DE DESMANTELARSE SEGUN DICEN Y SEGURO HAY ARMAMENTOS OCULTOS ADEMAS ES SEGURO QUE LAS USARAN DETONANDOLAS A GRAN ALTURA PARA ASI MATAR MAS GENTE Y SER MAS EFICACES EN ESPECIAL EN LAS ENORMES Y EXTENDIDAS MEGACIUADES NORTEAMERICANAS RESUMIENDO LA CANTIDAD DE MUERTOS SERA MAS GRANDE Y NI SIQUIERA ARGENTINA O AUSTRALIA VAN A SOBREVIVIR YA QUE OBVIO NI RUSIA NI CHINA VAN A DEJAR ACTIVOS UTILES PARA LOS ANGLOSAJONES Y HAY MUCHOS ACTIVOS EN AUSTRALIA Y EN EL CONO SUR BAJO LA FORMA DE LA MEGABASE INGLESA DE LAS MALVINAS O LAS FUERZAS ARMADAS CHILENAS Y BRASILERAS AL SERVICIO DE INGLATERRA ASI QUE TODOS EN ESTE MUNDO SOMOS BOLETA Y CARTERA GAME OVER GLOBAL !!!!
It is not a matter of ‘if’ there will be a nuclear war, but ‘when’. Especially given the fact of ongoing nuclear proliferation there will most likely be nuclear war coming as more and more countries acquire nukes. Too bad!
It may actually be enough to nuke one major city in the world, a city with a few million inhabitants, for every human and all organic life forms to perish, some sea creatures may survive in the depths of the oceans and probably most of the insects as well. And no, people hiding in their DUMBs are, really dumb, for they are not gonna survive either, as the surface wont be habitable again for around 100 years! This is a worst case scenario. So what I’m saying here is that it is very unlikely that any nation with nuclear weapons at their disposal are gonna be dumb enough to use them, for they know the truth about what can happen. But it is still a great idea to use against smaller nations, and a great way to control the billions of people all around the world who are totally dumbed down, for they don’t know the truth and never will as they only believe what the MSN tells them. For this reason North Korea will never be attacked by the US as that, as I just explained, might result in the total destruction of the world.
satans mad men are scary though, the way they are begging for nukes to be used. They have luxurious bunkers with underground farms, deep in the Swiss alps, the South American mountains, in NZ and more locally to them. I hope the lights go out for them too.
LOADS of people who buy into the CO2 global warming accept the ‘need’ for nuclear annihilation. DECEPTION rules our world.
Deception rules the world, yes that is exactly right, my friend. And fittingly the evildoers have been named the Empire of Lies, I think by by some Russians? And the global warming scam, of course, is another great deception designed to hold the masses under control. And what better way is there to keep these fools under control than the lies of the MSN? For the people are mostly totally dumbed down, beyond repair even in most cases. And the secret to the evil doers power over the populous of this wicked world of ours is fear, they control everything with fear.
Look at it from a different direction.
Global warming is totally unbelievable and bizzare at best. It is like a flat Earth theory. But zombies/parazytes would parrot anything to show their asslicking and spite.
Masks don’t work any more. Use this opportunity to learn to distinguish between deception and truth, between zombies/parazytes and alive people. Zombies/parazytes are empty vessels, they only have viruses in them installed from outside through emotions/pathos. Alive people have a soul/human Operating System.
Zombies are only capable of conformity. They are dead. They cannot think for themselves. They are self-destructing. And that is a good thing.
Fear is one of the methods. Main ones are greed, control and status. It is defined as psychopathy in Psychiatry.
Zombies/parazytes live off and for greed, control and status. They are hypnotized by status. It is like submissiveness to a herd/cult. Emotions are hypnosis.
Their biggest dream is to have slaves. Why? They cannot survive by themselves. They are totally uncapable of even growing food by themselves and feeding themselves.
Two very good comments, brother. I’ve got nothing to add. All you said is true.
Please, make a pledge and donate to my cock transplant. Right now Jens Jizz Hole is lending me his.
