Plan A - A Nuclear war simulation

I have seen this video a few times by now and still I can't put my fingers on where it's incorrect.

Maybe it ain't maybe it is correct all the way (4.18 min.)

Based on the current US and Russia war plans, 91.5 million people would be either dead (34.1 million) or injured (57.4 million) within just a few hours of the start of the conflict.

Hmmm, might be a good idea to start looking for property in Peru.

No more more than 95 million killed, tops. Depending on the breaks.

If the unthinkable would happen it doesn't matter where you move to.

In case you want to survive the nuclear holocaust

The fallout from all these nukes will sooner or later have spread all around the world.

Unlikely. Modern warheads in the .3 to 1mt range simply do not loft the debris that high, so it will rain out over a few days.

It seems to be hip nowadays to look at the possibility of a limited regional winnable nuclear war with less fallout, with smaller nuclear warheads and other 'smart' weapons, so deterrence will not hold some back.
Whatever will become of those who have to live there. Some russian hawks say that radiation is not as bad, and people will adapt quickly

Looking from outside this seems like the perfect way to finally have more wars again, oh joy.
