    There’s a movie called Threads that starts out like that. If you haven’t watched it, do. It’s the most realistic depiction of nuclear apocalypse you’ll get to see.

      Gonna have to check it out, The Day After is another good depiction of what we could expect in case of a nuclear war.

        Give yourself some time and space afterwards though. When I watched it, I didn’t get much sleep the night after

        A little less realistic, as it starts as animation before slowly incorporating live-action footage as things get dire and more depressing, but When the Wind Blows is also a very good depiction of what happens to regular civilians during a nuclear war. Distressing and depressing film, but a good one.

          We really need modern films like that to remind people what’s at stake.

    well the US is indeed colonizing the UK so for once the confuzed liberal logic brushes elbows with material reality very-smart

        People sometimes get mad at me for saying there is no such thing as Europe, UK, Australia, etc but things like this happen and I am left with no other choice but to continue believing it.

          It’s just pure copium in my opinion. If your country is militarily dependent on another for protection then you are by definition a vassal state. You can’t have sovereignty if you can’t defend yourself using your own means. Europe, and other western countries are entirely dependent on US for protection. The fact that these people believe themselves to be independent is the height of delusion.
