He who argues along lines of "shelters in cities" and surviving a major nuclear exchnage, imo simply lacks the imagination to form an idea what those who crawl out from the fallout in struck cities would have to deal with.

Me, living in a city and knowing that a nuclear war is striking it, would deliberately chose to not seek a shelter. There are worse things than death.

Fighting for survival after a major exchange only may make sense if you live in a distant, rural place on a continent that does not get directly engaged. But even here you could face the horrors of survival, due to fallout wandering around the globe, and psychologtical stress and despair. Men break down and commit suicide over far less than witnessing the dying of a whole planet or the self-exticntion of a whole species.

Hollywood screenplay writers may disagree with me. But I am not Hollywood. Being a prisoner in a KZ of the Nazis, still left you with the knoweldge that there is a world outside, and that times will brign chnage, even if you will not live to see it. But a major exchange leaves you not even this abstract hope.

In other words: shelters in cities for lets say 10% of the population, is a non-argument, a distractive strawman argument, a deception.

In a world that leaves you no chance for hope, survival is pointless.
