I thought about bouncing as well, but then how do you know the place you choose to go is going to be any better off. As it stands we're a 4 second missile strike away from Kaliningrad. Which is the better way to go? Instant vaporization or slow death through starvation and radiation sickness?

Damn good point Winston. I might opt for some cold cervezas on the Mexican pacific while the radiation sickness does its thing. Get in a few nuclear winter sunsets before the final melt.

My thinking is, if this is just another psyop to keep people fearful and afraid then it is possible they agree on one strategic small nuke as a false flag with no retaliation. That's what all the headlines are saying and they often telegraph in the media what they're planning, to lay the psychological groundwork. Let's say it's western Donbas and only 2 kilotons. The fallout would mostly hit Russia, so Putin probably wouldn't agree to that location, but since they all give zero F's about Ukraine (US, EU, UN and Russia), maybe it goes off near Kiev or Lviv. Then the fallout is mostly Poland and Ukraine, in which case the Mexican pacific will be quite nice.

Yeah I think you're right about the false flag and only using a small nuke. If that happens I probably will bounce too, and maybe also to Mexico. I can't go back home to the United Socialists of America because my wife would need to be fully poisoned before they'd let her in the country. But if I did want to go to my native Texas, I suppose we could always just walk over the border these days.

There you go. Get some ponchos and sombreros in CJ and just wade the river. They'll even give you free prepaid Visa debit cards and "smart" phones.

Yeah, and we would finally have an "illegal" we want. Welcome, Mr and Mrs Smith. Call me crazy, but this buy up of radiation pills (??) has me wondering if this isn't just another attempt to kill off more useless eaters. Threaten an imminent nuclear strike and distribute the pills...I know...I'm crazy to even think something like that would be or has been considered.

Is that wade the river or row? I can never work it out... row vs. wade...

With a little luck you could end up in Martha's Vineyard.

There was some American ex-general or some other shit on BBC radio 4 opining on Putin's nuclear Armageddon psychosis. "He won't drop a nuke on Kiev" (I paraphrase) "He'll do it to some smaller village to avoid too much damage"

1) No.

2) Projection.

3) I'm supposed to believe he's desperate and crazy (as if Russia's nuclear arsenal were Putin's personal plaything)but cognisant not to go TOO crazy?
