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.

Well in their defense they probably know what they're talking about. They seem to have nuclear fallout accidents over there all the time.

I cannot imagine that between the big bad boys it will remain at a limited exchnage with tactical "small" nukes. The side that got hit by a tactical small nuke will hardly just swallow it and see it as a "limited" strike with thousands and tens of thosuands dead and many more injured, radiated, and abotu tio deerly suffer in the comign years and die.

It will always grow into a bigger exchange. And this exchnage will damage infrastructure hard to imagine. Now there is a lot fo tlak recently about the possibility of Blckouts (in Germany in special and Europe in general). The scenarios for a 24h blackout include the narration of the aftermaths lasting for days and weeks to come, and huge scores of deaths in hospitals and other depending institutions, and no drink water being processed and pumped anymore as well. No just-in-timje delivery of food and medication. If yo have prepped, you were called a nuthead or a Nazi. Now imagine power not beign restored after 24 hours, but beign gone for the forseeable future, with powergrids destroyed and powerplants gone!

The killing will not be over when the war "ends". The real misery starts when the shooting ends. And we do not even touch upon the issue of radiation. Chernobyl was a picnic against what a nuclear war would mean -and the consequences of Chernobal still can be measue dover here in the ground, in plants and vegetables. Low doses - but then, Chernobyl was no nuclear war aimed at doing maximum damage.

Personally, I do not want to survive a nculear war. If it comes, i hope I get vaporized in the first blast. The world after it is not worth it to me.

Pretty much sums it up for me as well

Fat chance of nuclear war.
