Two minutes to midnight

  • Is that because you want something serene to look at before you get vaporised, or because you figure you have more of a chance out of a city and near a potential source of food?

  • Comments thus far would appear to be fatalistic, and I agree that's the right response if things kick off and the big three launch salvos of megaton-class weapons...

    But what if there is a more limited exchange, such as NK hitting London with a single 150kt class device?

    Assuming an air-burst there'd be very little fall-out, and the rest of the UK would be fine... except that the EMP from the blast would probably have fused anything with a semiconductor that wasn't sealed inside a metal box... 

    So most of the population would be alive, but lacking electricity. 

    How would you cope?
