Safest place to be in the event of nuclear war?

blackcard · 12-08-2017 09:26PM #1

If North Korea/US/China/Russia start firing nuclear bombs at each other, where would the safest place be? Greenland? Australia/NZ? Would these places be affected by fallout?

DEFTLEFTHAND · 12-08-2017 09:28PM

Wouldn't mind moving to Greenland myself, have always had a fascination with the place.

Why deos Kim want to blow up Guam though

LirW · 12-08-2017 09:37PM

Because his pu$$ya$$ missiles aren't half as good as he pretends and can't reach the americas anyway, so the closest base is Guam. Dunno really, maybe he dislikes the name or so.

In the current situation,Dennis Rodman's house.

If the North Koreans are firing it then the safest place to stand is wherever they are aiming it.

I'm going to go counter-intuitive right now and say Guam:
- North Koreans couldn't hit a barn door
- Something about the eye of the storm
- The US will have sent multiple levels of missile defences including fixed defences and anti-missile naval vessels

Failing that, the Falklands, can't even find that on a map and it's defended like hell since 1982!

what 7 letter word can you make from

KIM MISSILE GUAM

answer = Aimless

Mech1 · 12-08-2017 09:44PM

8 letter would be misusage

Fixed that for you.:)

Safest would proabably be in a big boat in the middle of some ocean.
Stay out there for a year or 2 fishing and come back to land after to find a deserted Wasteland.

Oh....

Make sure you bring a few females on the boat with you so when you return you have to start making babies to repopulate the earth.

Love out the rest of your days as king and the only willy in town having fun.

If Indiana Jones thought me anything its that hiding in a lead lined fridge will keep you safe from nuclear explosions..

Wonder if Harvey Norman stock them?

Kim Jong's bunker might be a good spot.

Thanks... the Falklands\Islas Mavinas confusion makes my port in a storm even harder to hit.

Surely irish neutrality will save us, it'll be like a great be shield over our fair isle. It'll be powered by all the hot air from our looney left that keep invoking it

That's what the Americans will be aiming for...

Not very safe if you offend Kim Jong by making eye contact, or making any comment conneted to reality.

And if it doesn't I'm sure we've still all got the iodine tablets in the back of the press somewhere.

Barry Badrinath · 12-08-2017 10:10PM

I have it from reliable authority that if you smother yourself in porridge, you will be protected from the fallout

Sue Pa Key Pa · 12-08-2017 10:11PM

Nah! I'm not interested in living in a world where there is a nuclear war.

Large chest freezer (unplugged), fitted with a snorkel for air, filtered with a fine mesh filter.

External water supply by pipe from another chest freezer, filled with pure mountain spring water and then hermetically sealed.

Plenty of dried food in sachets (astronaut food) easily rehydrated. Toilet by way of a chemical potty + waste bags.

Radio with external antenna, wet wipes, crisps, LED torch & batteries ......

Two weeks inside till the dust has settled, then open the hatch (slowly) and see what's up!

Sorted.

You should still be safe in a place like Ittoqqortoormiit. Unlikely they'll waste a full nuke on that place

Of course if it goes global no place will be safe. Watch the films "The Day After" (US) and "Threads" (UK).

To be fair Kim has said he will only attack Guam if the us attack him. Our news here likes to leave that part out

The bunker from Unbreakable Kimmy

Hide under the kitchen table until it's died down be grand. And dig out the iodine tablets the government issued , they will save you no problem nothing to be worried about!

Safest place to be in the event of nuclear war?
