Plan A Simulation

Princeton Science and Global Security Nuclear War Simulation

SGS developed a new simulation for a plausible escalating war between the United States and Russia using realistic nuclear force postures, targets and fatality estimates. It is estimated that there would be more than 90 million people dead and injured within the first few hours of the conflict.

Let us hope there will not be a war between these two country or between countries who have nukes.

If there should be a war I hope no one will open the Pandora box.

What a load of bleeding rubbish, I don't know who came up with that crap scenario but I can assure you that its going to be mass destruction all over the planet.
At least 300+ nuclear missiles flying about, the fallout would affect billions and it would affect every continent of the planet as well, now which superpower leader is thick enough to release Armageddon on the world.

Certain people blamed a certain country for using a chemical wmd to poison someone. It was purported that only that certain country manfactured the substance. Therefore it had to be them.

Look how many here willingly swallowed that pill!

What happens when someone plants a nuke downtown? How far will some go to blame another who may not have had anything to do with it and end up starting Plan A?

Please remember the video show a plausible scenario.

There are many scenarios where nuke have the leading role

It is theory no one can say how it would start...only thing is certain someone has to press the button.

And how it would end..maybe after having exchange 10-20 each the leaders come to the senses at order ceasefire.

Only hope is that this NEVER happens.

It never made sense to me to assume a nuclear war between the US and the USSR would have escalated in increasingly intense phases. Why would you sacrifice your conventional forces first, and not before they are already lethally wound up you take the other side out by nukes? If the USSR and the US would have gone for each other's throat, the escalation would have been at the very beginning: decapacitating with the aim to mutilate the other'S military capabilities, airfields, nuclear silos, C3I, from the very start on. The Russians would not have invaded Europe conventionally first - why would they have wanted it that way...? They knew that they would have crushed NATO so seriously by their superior numbers that NATO would have had no other chance than to fall back to the nuclear option (thats why NATO formulated its nuclear doctrine and reserved the right to use nukes first - because it expected to not being able to stop the Sovjets conventionally). Why would the Sovjets have wanted to wait for that...? "Let us poke pencils into NATO's eyes until we got them so furious that they strike us with nukies, and when they do then we retaliate!" That does not just sound stupid - that is stupid.

They would have sent waves of nukes first - and if surviving that, THEN would have sent the conventional troops. I even imagine it possible that there never would have been a conventional follow-on invasion. There is no reward in taking that risk after you had turned the loot of your conquest into radiating rubble, with living cadavers crawling in the ruins. What would be the gain? The Sovjest were no religious fanatics fantasizing about fulfilling divine intentions, they believed in a scientific rational, even in war, also regarding social systems. Divinity had no place in that.
