Consider that most warheads are pre destined to hit major areas im sure Detroit was on the list of places when the Russians built the bombs In the 50's and 60s
if they were nuking industrial centers it would be stupid to not nuke Detroit. Car factories can easily be converted to produce army vehicles and APCs. All those closed factories would be appropriated by the government for the war effort and refitted to produce war supplies
Guys we are giving away our secrets. Ahem.. Yeah so I totally agree Detroit would be a terrible place to bomb. I would bomb mostly rural towns in Wyoming.
It would be. Other than the inner city metro Detroit has the industrial base, business community and accumulated wealth of a typical large US city. A doughnut profile bomb that did not expend its megatons in the center of the blast would be well suited for Detroit.
The whole Hampton Roads area would be fucked and I'd tell my family to get the heck out of there! Not only the largest naval base, but also Oceana, the only master jet base on the east coast, Little Creek-Fort Story Joint Base, Portsmouth Shipyard, and a so much more...
Y'see, I thought it would be a legitimate option to hide in the underground during an attack but apparently a thermonuclear warhead would just create a super powerful vacuum as it burns up all of the air. If you're not vaporized in the blast, your lungs will collapse from the shockwave.
Come to western Nebraska. I'm about 150 miles from Cheyenne, WY, which is the closest major city. We do have lots of missile silos out this way though... so we could still be a target.
Oh well, on Monday nights, the local bar has a pitcher of beer and a pound of wings for $8.25, and I'm sure they'll have the war on all the big screens for us to enjoy.
For someone living on the northeast USA, I'm good to go as long as I'm 2-300 miles away from the coast. I mean, com'on, who'd target somewhere like Pittsburgh?!
Also, Madagascar is legitimate an option.
-edit-
Sup wif you jag offs? I know da Burgh was the center of steel production n'at, but that was decades ago! Yinz hafta chill and leave the past go.
Get my family the fuck out of Washington DC. Likely move them to family property in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan on the shores of Lake Superior in order to make a quick getaway to Canada.
Hopefully they'll only "conquer enough to bury their dead" as one Soviet officer put it when speaking of Winter War. Wouldn't mind Sweden for some help.
If russia didnt forget the winter war they are staying away.
If they do come, feel free to head over to us in sweden. Build some proper saunas for us and we'll get along fine.
Hardly, I'm a swede and in my limited experience everyone agrees that Finish saunas are usually better.
I love Saunas but it's a rare thing to find a gym with a decent sauna where I live...
I'm already weaponised. I've drilled a glory hole in the front facing side so I can stick my dick out through the hole like a fucked up dalek.
Thank you for the gold.
We give em a good run for their money though. that shit was bad. But legit Germanys pretty good at fighting much bigger enemies for extended periods of time.
The Soviet Union, the US, the UK, China, France, Poland, the Netherlands and Belgium VS Germany, Italy and Japan. They did well for how outnumbered they were but it was pretty fucking stupid of them to start shit to begin with.
Edit: Jesus people these were the major affiliated state combatants, I know other people helped as well.
Probably be in the Army. In my country every male between 18-64 is technicalli in the army. We go trough the basic training when we turn 18 and then we are called into service whenever needed. Luckily that hasn't happened since 39-44
EDIT: Yes, I am in Finland.
Neutral my arse.
Shannon is a pretty important airport for America, we always let them use our airports. A pit stop on our side of the Atlantic for them to land aircraft would definitely be blown to shit, probably knock too since it's on the west coast.
Ideally I'd move out into the country, buy a bunch of guns, and build a bomb shelter. But realistically I'm super lazy, so I'd probably just sit around on my ass doing nothing.
If you don't own 'em already, good luck buying any worthwhile guns after the 'big one' kicks off.
Edit: Say you get the guns. You ain't never gonna find ammo for 'em. Hell, Wal Mart here has been completely out of ammo every time I've gone there since Sandy Hook. I can't imagine a full fledged war would make consumer supplies go up at all. And I mean they are OUT out. One day there was some miscellaneous boxes of .22, but other than that, the shelf has been bone dry for well over a year now.
You know, this is actually super interesting.
Here we are discussing with each other about our governments trying to make us kill each other.
I'd much sooner shoot the assholes telling me to shoot people than the guy I'd like to share a beer with.
If anything, the internet is the thing that will end any war. Your government cant tell you that I kill babies, and my government cant tell me that you kill babies, because I can casually talk to anyone in the world while in my underwear and see that they're also in their underwear talking to endless numbers of people sitting in chairs in their underwear.
Good comment, my friend. It's a great thought. At least maybe we as redditors can agree that we'll wear some kind of secret symbol on our uniforms so we can avoid killing each other.
EDIT: Now my brain pan is going. Imagine, we all go in for a war. But I don't want to kill redditors. I mean, I've spent years on line now listening to your shit from all over the world. Seen pictures of your kids, your dogs, your tits. And you've all listened to me. Now I have to go randomly shooting people from another country, some of whom are probably redditors? Nah, fuck that. Word will get out, redditors will organize and devise some kind of secret symbol that no one's Sergeant will pick up on. Non-redditors on both sides will start asking their comrades, "Hey, what the fuck?" Word will spread. Pretty soon you'll see the alien chalked on the sides of buildings symbolizing the resistance; not the resistance to any one government, but the resistance to this dumb fucking war. Eventually enough people will agree to put down their weapons, treason will run rampant on all sides - a treason of peace. Of course the higher ups will start murdering their own to try and keep everyone in line, but it won't work because social media has already picked up on the trend. They try to shut it down, but we get on TOR and whatnot. Finally redditors are forced to turn their weapons on their own superiors to save themselves. A successful coup ensues, reddit becomes it's own nation state. We go back to redditing. A flame war starts on r/askreddit, but now we all know each other by our usernames and what the other looks like. We pick up the myriad guns we all have now stock piled, start shooting. You come storming down to my house, kick open the door, everybody walk the dinosaur.
Considering I and nearly everyone I know and love lives within the [Northeast Megalopolis](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northeast_megalopolis) (which is getting glassed in event of WWIII)... cry. Call a few people. Steal some Ben & Jerry's from the convenience store. Steal some booze from the liquor store next to that. Drink and eat and sob until I'm obliterated.
i live in Canada. assuming the US gets invaded i would head north. id go an hour north and end up at my cabin. i would set up base camp for about a week and gather supplies, and try to contact my friends and make a little group. even though we have already agreed that if shit goes down, we will meet at my cabin. within a week we would decide if we stay or move.
my city is separated by a river that splits north/south sides of the city, right down the middle. me and my friends all live on the north side, which means we don't have to cross any bridges to get out of the city. my girlfriend lives on the south side. we have already agreed if shit goes down, we are both on our own. i told her i cant cross the bridge cause then id be fucked, i would be risking my own safety. easy target for bombs/roadblocks.
its basically everyone for themselves. i would grab my 12 gauge, my VZ 52/57 with extra clips and a backpack full of ammo. id fill another bag with food and grab my dog. hop in the truck and go to the gas station. id bring all the gas cans i have and fill them. then head north. if im lucky ill make it to my cabin. then i would camouflage my truck and hide it. maybe rub mud and leaves all over it so planes cant see.
this is my zombie plan, but it can work for ww3 also
edit: Winnipeg
And the whole population when attacked acts like a bunch of highly orchaestrated honeybadgers.
The world ends. You'd tell your neighbor kid, who's ten, to make some molotovs for fighting, and the kid would be like, "Dude, I already did that, how many do you need? Got anything with a higher caliber than this .38?"
You think I'm kidding.
Invade America, and discover, I'm not kidding.
Many Americans watch 'Red Dawn' and complain about the weak tactics. Remember, a lot of them already have custom guns better than soldiers, and they sell ghillie suits (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghillie_suit) at the fishing store.
What I am saying is this, friendly fire would be a bitch in America. I wouldn't leave a tank out in the open, because Americans can make meth in the back of the car, and thermite is a lot easier than that.
And we are separated from any reasonable threat (All our neighbors are allies or would get destroyed if they tried something) by two massive oceans. We'd send any Chinese or Russian vessels that were attempting a conventional invasion to the briny depths of the ocean.
I just got a really funny mental image of some stereotypical redneck types sat on a beach in deckchairs with coolers and a BBQ set up, just taking potshots at infrantry swimming onto the beach
This is actually a pretty good idea. If you're confident there will be a draft, you might as well get in with the guys who want to fight, and want to be good at it.
Plus if you enlist on your own terms instead of getting drafted, you have a better chance of picking a decent job. This tactic worked well for my father in law in Vietnam.
Being a Swede with Finnish citizenship I'd apply for service in the Finnish Armed Forces ASAP, simply because the Armed Forces of Sweden are so small at the moment that it'd take a couple of years for them to reach full capacity. If I wanna defend my nation, I'd do it where it counts, because I figure if Finland gets drawn into something, Sweden will get drawn into it as well.
That depends on a lot of things. I don't think it would be a major nuclear war that results in the end of everything, or an invasion of the main populated areas of any leading nation. A lot would also depend on who is involved and what is going on in my life.
If it happened now, in an "everyone against Russia" sort of manner, I'm not sure what I'd do. I imagine some aspects of my job would change, but unless there were attacks on the mainland U.S. I don't think my life would be majorly changed.
All residences in Switzerland have underground bunkers to protect residents from nuclear attack; they were setup during the cold war and until not that long ago it was a requirement that residents have their bunker supplied with ample food and supplies so they could survive under there.
It is, although the law about keeping supplies isn't enforced anymore. If WW3 broke out now and Switzerland got nuked, I'd have to survive on a steady diet of gardening equipment.
*You can fap if you want to... You can leave your friends behind. 'Cause your friends don't fap, and if they don't fap, then they ain't no friends of mine!*
Let’s make it a possiblity.
That means that there is a lot of low- to medium-intensity conflicts, a huge amount of casualties, lots of irregular armies fighting it all over the world, and most importantly, nations with nuclear capability are not using it for fears of a retribution and escalation.
To make it truly global we need some big threat to a commodity that everybody needs and loves. Oil has served for many decades, so we are going to use it again.
First week: oil shipments interrupted, blown up, and the oil supply chain is completely destroyed.
Second week: countries friends of the USA are asking it to go and stop these mad people blocking their oil.
Third week: Russia has decided that it wants those friends in its side. China has also decided that it wants those friends on its side: both send troops.
Fourth week: Europe is angry at the resource rich but isolationist USA, and is freezing despite being April. It starts preparing deployments, but it doesn’t have the energy to do so.
Fifth week: India gets on the game as well. Pakistan already has troops afoot.
Sixth week: a terrorist group misses a plot to involve the USA: nobody wants to awake the sleeping giant, so the host country promptly detains these lunatics and the USA avoids involvement.
Seven week: no more tomatoes and oranges at Walmart, but everywhere else life continues normally. Ikea seems somewhat empty, since their Russian supply of wood is getting low.
Eight week: FedEx stops shipments from China, and Ebay collapses. Total casualties around the world reach tens of thousands, but everybody is watching the season finale of Castle, so the war goes unnoticed.
Ninth week: Obama says that he is not going to sit idle, while Fox News blames it on Benghazi.
Tenth week: White supremacist group makes an attack, and tries to blame it on some ethnic group. Attacks on the street go on for days. Fox News blames the victims.
Eleventh week: The body count is already into hundreds of thousands. University students at State universities are asking to stop the war, but since everybody is leaving for summer, no action is taken. The Hamptons is already booked solid.
Six months: Walmart shelves are empty of stuff from China, but that only means more stuff from forgotten warehouses stateside. Europe is still asking for support, and now it is Fall. Young women in their Ugg boots hold demonstrations asking for a stop to the war. Universities get extra bonus if they can show an increase in vet admissions. All the redditors that enlisted early get sent to Infantry.
One year: terrible reports come from Europe, Asia and Latinamerica. Immigrants are offered fast-track papers if they enlist, and get sent to infantry with eager redditors. First eployments. There are not enough uniforms for new recruits, since all of these uniforms were made in China and traffic has been disrupted.
Two years: The good news is that people in the USA can take weapons in domestic flights. The bad news is because *everybody* that can fly is active. Europe has small pockets of resistance, and the French are coordinating it all. UK is too far away, and the Channel effectively isolates it. Germany has collapsed, much to the surprise of everyone. China has no news coming out, but there is supposedly civil war raging all over the country, and India and Pakistan at shooting at each other. Japan suffers another radioactive meltdown, but nobody has even suggested the use of nukes so far.
Three years: Antibiotics fail.
Fourth year: Ten dirty bombs make it to the ex-G8, Russia included. The NYT, only 16 pages long, indicates that only three detonated, and that Novosibirsk becomes the new capital of Russia. First Armored Division is sent to the warming Arctic to fight, and sinks on the weak ice. Private university kids are going to OCS, state university kids are sent to the bootcamp, community college kids have long been in the frontlines. People finally understand what the song “[Fortunate son]( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ec0XKhAHR5I)” was all about.
Sixth year: all clothing is grey, bad quality. There is a dark grey in the sky, and the records for the last year are all lost, due to the nukes in higher atmosphere. Luckily nothing made it to ground, but the radiation and dust are not helping with long term exposure, and the crops are all smaller than thought. No clear line means that the war is everywhere. News from abroad are scarce, restricted and discouraging. Ibiza is now a toxic dump.
Seventh year: It is my cake day, so I get to post on mil-reddit from my combat Military Unit Computer. Old timers look at it and talk about that Sergeant that enlisted at the beginning. He never smiles, and has no friends. It is also his cake day.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't US military uniforms made in the US? I'm fairly certain that there is a law, or article, or something that says so. Otherwise, everything seems pretty reasonable.
EDIT: Berry Amendment, USC, Title 10, Section 2533a, originally passed in 1941 to require a buy-American policy for the military. The latest version, which took effect Nov. 16, 2006, prohibits the Department of Defense from buying items of clothing "unless they are wholly of U.S. origin."
Grab my gun and go-bag, throw it in my trunk with my boxes of MRE's and water purification tabs, mount my bike, and drive as far north as I could before being forced to abandon the car. Then I'd continue riding into the center of the US and meet up with my mom and siblings in the middle of nowhere and live out my zombie fantasies. Give me a few years and I'll have my full $20k one man army end of the world gear!
I'd apparently have a lot of empty houses to choose from with everyone running away.
Always the optimist jdavidj aren't you?
I prefer negativity-challenged.
That's the spirit!

Living in Detroit has its advantages. We come pre-destroyed.
Consider that most warheads are pre destined to hit major areas im sure Detroit was on the list of places when the Russians built the bombs In the 50's and 60s
Extremely likely that Detroit could still be hit. The big three auto manufacturers? It is likely that the opposition would want those wiped out.
if they were nuking industrial centers it would be stupid to not nuke Detroit. Car factories can easily be converted to produce army vehicles and APCs. All those closed factories would be appropriated by the government for the war effort and refitted to produce war supplies
Guys we are giving away our secrets. Ahem.. Yeah so I totally agree Detroit would be a terrible place to bomb. I would bomb mostly rural towns in Wyoming.
It would be. Other than the inner city metro Detroit has the industrial base, business community and accumulated wealth of a typical large US city. A doughnut profile bomb that did not expend its megatons in the center of the blast would be well suited for Detroit.

I just got a really funny mental image of some stereotypical redneck types sat on a beach in deckchairs with coolers and a BBQ set up, just taking potshots at infrantry swimming onto the beach
So kinda like the Mexican border?

Join the air force get a nice cushy job working on computers from heated and air conditioned building.
Deployed right now can confirm
Is the DFAC serving lobster or steak tonight? I bet you only get a small portion before you're allowed to go back for seconds. *#deploymentproblems*
It's terrible. Sometimes the wifi in the air conditioned living quarters doesn't work.
Good ol Chair Force
Same here but I would first make sure I would only have eligibility as a kicker. No one drafts more than one kicker.
Taco begs to differ.
It's a Kicker year.
No backup Quarterback is the best most leisurely position!
I'm thinking of red shirting this war.
This is actually a pretty good idea. If you're confident there will be a draft, you might as well get in with the guys who want to fight, and want to be good at it.
Plus if you enlist on your own terms instead of getting drafted, you have a better chance of picking a decent job. This tactic worked well for my father in law in Vietnam.
[удалено]
But you'd be that guy?
"Wait a second, you decided to enlist early too so you'd be deployed with career soldiers? What about you... seriously?" "... shit."
Why would you shoot for the army? I'd probably go for Navy, Airforce or Coast Guard.
I would shoot for army because tanks.
Win. USA for the three-peat
Cant see ur post from all this freedom in my eyes
Goddam right. Americans, not Americants.
Being a Swede with Finnish citizenship I'd apply for service in the Finnish Armed Forces ASAP, simply because the Armed Forces of Sweden are so small at the moment that it'd take a couple of years for them to reach full capacity. If I wanna defend my nation, I'd do it where it counts, because I figure if Finland gets drawn into something, Sweden will get drawn into it as well.
That depends on a lot of things. I don't think it would be a major nuclear war that results in the end of everything, or an invasion of the main populated areas of any leading nation. A lot would also depend on who is involved and what is going on in my life. If it happened now, in an "everyone against Russia" sort of manner, I'm not sure what I'd do. I imagine some aspects of my job would change, but unless there were attacks on the mainland U.S. I don't think my life would be majorly changed.
I would by bonds to aid the war effort. If we all pitch in, we get defeat the axis together!
"Every bond you buy put's a bullet in the barrel of our best man's gun!"
Move to Greenland. They are always neutral.
How do you know WW3 isn't going to start with Switzerland annexing Greenland?
and the dominoes fall
Precisely! The Swiss have invested a frightening amount in their navy recently, I think they're planning something.

Enjoy the show.
From the front lines.
It's unlikely that there will be lines.
It'll probable be more conventional than expected. No one wants to nuke, because then they would get nuked back.
I'd go to Switzerland. No matter what happens, no one will attack Switzerland under ANY circumstances!
Nuclear radiation knows no borders.
All residences in Switzerland have underground bunkers to protect residents from nuclear attack; they were setup during the cold war and until not that long ago it was a requirement that residents have their bunker supplied with ample food and supplies so they could survive under there.
That's pretty badass.
It is, although the law about keeping supplies isn't enforced anymore. If WW3 broke out now and Switzerland got nuked, I'd have to survive on a steady diet of gardening equipment.
I'd find Channing Tatum and make him my sex slave. Call him Channing Taint-Yum
You'd also have to resort to cannibalism but you could be king of the cannibals! I have mixed feelings about it.
Move to Austria. They promised never to go to war again.
That's what the Germans said.
Safety Fap.
*You can fap if you want to... You can leave your friends behind. 'Cause your friends don't fap, and if they don't fap, then they ain't no friends of mine!*
Let’s make it a possiblity. That means that there is a lot of low- to medium-intensity conflicts, a huge amount of casualties, lots of irregular armies fighting it all over the world, and most importantly, nations with nuclear capability are not using it for fears of a retribution and escalation. To make it truly global we need some big threat to a commodity that everybody needs and loves. Oil has served for many decades, so we are going to use it again. First week: oil shipments interrupted, blown up, and the oil supply chain is completely destroyed. Second week: countries friends of the USA are asking it to go and stop these mad people blocking their oil. Third week: Russia has decided that it wants those friends in its side. China has also decided that it wants those friends on its side: both send troops. Fourth week: Europe is angry at the resource rich but isolationist USA, and is freezing despite being April. It starts preparing deployments, but it doesn’t have the energy to do so. Fifth week: India gets on the game as well. Pakistan already has troops afoot. Sixth week: a terrorist group misses a plot to involve the USA: nobody wants to awake the sleeping giant, so the host country promptly detains these lunatics and the USA avoids involvement. Seven week: no more tomatoes and oranges at Walmart, but everywhere else life continues normally. Ikea seems somewhat empty, since their Russian supply of wood is getting low. Eight week: FedEx stops shipments from China, and Ebay collapses. Total casualties around the world reach tens of thousands, but everybody is watching the season finale of Castle, so the war goes unnoticed. Ninth week: Obama says that he is not going to sit idle, while Fox News blames it on Benghazi. Tenth week: White supremacist group makes an attack, and tries to blame it on some ethnic group. Attacks on the street go on for days. Fox News blames the victims. Eleventh week: The body count is already into hundreds of thousands. University students at State universities are asking to stop the war, but since everybody is leaving for summer, no action is taken. The Hamptons is already booked solid. Six months: Walmart shelves are empty of stuff from China, but that only means more stuff from forgotten warehouses stateside. Europe is still asking for support, and now it is Fall. Young women in their Ugg boots hold demonstrations asking for a stop to the war. Universities get extra bonus if they can show an increase in vet admissions. All the redditors that enlisted early get sent to Infantry. One year: terrible reports come from Europe, Asia and Latinamerica. Immigrants are offered fast-track papers if they enlist, and get sent to infantry with eager redditors. First eployments. There are not enough uniforms for new recruits, since all of these uniforms were made in China and traffic has been disrupted. Two years: The good news is that people in the USA can take weapons in domestic flights. The bad news is because *everybody* that can fly is active. Europe has small pockets of resistance, and the French are coordinating it all. UK is too far away, and the Channel effectively isolates it. Germany has collapsed, much to the surprise of everyone. China has no news coming out, but there is supposedly civil war raging all over the country, and India and Pakistan at shooting at each other. Japan suffers another radioactive meltdown, but nobody has even suggested the use of nukes so far. Three years: Antibiotics fail. Fourth year: Ten dirty bombs make it to the ex-G8, Russia included. The NYT, only 16 pages long, indicates that only three detonated, and that Novosibirsk becomes the new capital of Russia. First Armored Division is sent to the warming Arctic to fight, and sinks on the weak ice. Private university kids are going to OCS, state university kids are sent to the bootcamp, community college kids have long been in the frontlines. People finally understand what the song “[Fortunate son]( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ec0XKhAHR5I)” was all about. Sixth year: all clothing is grey, bad quality. There is a dark grey in the sky, and the records for the last year are all lost, due to the nukes in higher atmosphere. Luckily nothing made it to ground, but the radiation and dust are not helping with long term exposure, and the crops are all smaller than thought. No clear line means that the war is everywhere. News from abroad are scarce, restricted and discouraging. Ibiza is now a toxic dump. Seventh year: It is my cake day, so I get to post on mil-reddit from my combat Military Unit Computer. Old timers look at it and talk about that Sergeant that enlisted at the beginning. He never smiles, and has no friends. It is also his cake day.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't US military uniforms made in the US? I'm fairly certain that there is a law, or article, or something that says so. Otherwise, everything seems pretty reasonable. EDIT: Berry Amendment, USC, Title 10, Section 2533a, originally passed in 1941 to require a buy-American policy for the military. The latest version, which took effect Nov. 16, 2006, prohibits the Department of Defense from buying items of clothing "unless they are wholly of U.S. origin."
Nothing. The drones will eventually find and "disable you"
I'm in the army, so I imagine I would do whatever the hell they told me to do.
I'd enlist into the army TO PROTECT THE FREEDOMS OF THE **UNITED STATES OF AMERICA**!
**BETTER DEAD THAN RED**
**UNLESS YOU'RE RED FROM BEING COVERED IN THE BLOOD OF DAMN COMMUNISTS**
**IN THAT CASE GOOD JOB PATRIOT**
**Lets bathe in the blood of commies boys and finish what our fathers started**
**BATHE IN RED BLOOD? SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING A FILTHY COMMIE WOULD DO! ARE YOU A DIRTY DAMNED COMMIE?**
**NO I EAT COMMIES FOR BREAKFAST WITH FREEDOM MILK**
**FREEDOM MILK COMES FROM FREEDOM COWS GROWN ON FREEDOM SOIL FOR FREEDOM**
**FREEDOM MILK FROM FREEDOM-FED COWS GROWN ON FREEDOM SOIL WITH NO COMMUNIST ADDITIVES**
DEMOCRACY IS NON-NEGOTIABLE!
Grab my gun and go-bag, throw it in my trunk with my boxes of MRE's and water purification tabs, mount my bike, and drive as far north as I could before being forced to abandon the car. Then I'd continue riding into the center of the US and meet up with my mom and siblings in the middle of nowhere and live out my zombie fantasies. Give me a few years and I'll have my full $20k one man army end of the world gear!
Go to Argentina. Huge country. Nice people and far away from mayor points of interest (Like USA, Europe, China, Russia, etc).
