Five Billion People Would Die In Russia-US Nuclear War, New Study Finds

Illustrative Image

If the political West truly does not want to cause a world-ending conflict, it will stop its aggression.

Unfortunately, at present, there is no evidence to believe such forces exist in Western establishments.

Written by Drago Bosnic, independent geopolitical and military analyst

When talking about nuclear conflict, generals, wargamers, strategists and military experts usually focus on the immediate effects of a nuclear exchange, such as the number of people killed in the initial blasts, megalopolises leveled to the ground, etc. What most people fail to pay attention to is the longer-term aftermath of a nuclear war. Such a conflict carries certain consequences which are in many ways even worse than the actual shooting war.

One of those consequences is connected to the near-total collapse of global supply chains, especially those concerning food. With the majority of the global population not producing any agricultural goods, food supply collapse would have a terrifyingly detrimental effect on most people on the planet, causing widespread hunger and the ensuing chaos which would end the world as we know it, most likely forever.

Scientists at Rutgers University projected the amount of soot that would be thrust into the Earth’s atmosphere in a variety of nuclear war scenarios, from smaller exchanges between India and Pakistan to a full-blown war between Russia and the United States. A relatively modest and localized Indo-Pakistani war would slash the world’s average caloric output by 7% within the first five years – bigger than any disruption humanity has faced thus far, ever.

“Even for a regional nuclear war, large parts of the world may suffer famine,” the study’s authors claim.

On the other hand, a possible Russia-US nuclear war would almost completely devastate global food production, reducing it by at least 90% in only three to four years after the actual shooting would cease, the researchers claim. At least 75% of the global population would perish in just two years.

In addition to collapsing crop yields, the Rutgers University model tried to account for export restrictions, as well as mitigation efforts such as giving humans livestock feed to eat. As devastating a picture as the study presents, it’s understated. “The ozone layer would be destroyed by the heating of the stratosphere, producing more ultraviolet radiation at the surface, and we need to understand that impact on food supplies,” Rutgers assistant research professor Lili Zia told Sky News. Researchers also didn’t factor in changes in fertilizer and food supplies, which would be substantial.

Noting that crises “with nuclear undertones are festering,” earlier this month, United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned that mankind is “just one misunderstanding away from nuclear annihilation.” In addition to Russia, US imperialist belligerence is also heightening tensions with other nuclear powers, such as China. Back in June, The New York Times reported:

“Last summer, hundreds of new missile silos began appearing in the Chinese desert. The Pentagon declared that Beijing, which had long said it needed only a ‘minimum deterrent,’ was moving to build an arsenal of ‘at least’ 1,000 nuclear arms by 2030.”

The issue at hand is that the political West, particularly the US, can’t seem (or doesn’t want) to find an off-ramp. Just as tensions between Washington DC and Beijing were starting to die down after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s controversial visit to China’s breakaway province of Taiwan, an unannounced delegation of five more US legislators arrived in Taipei on Sunday. The bellicose move provoked even more anger in Beijing, resulting in another round of military drills near Taiwan.

Against the Rutgers University study’s generally horrific backdrop, one country stood out as faring far better than others – Australia’s caloric output showed either only small reductions or even a slight increase. Still, the researchers found the Land Down Under would be flooded with refugees from Asia, which would inevitably lead to its collapse. The study is considered in-depth, but it still doesn’t take into account all the possible consequences of a global nuclear exchange.

The world certainly needs to work together to prevent this gloomy scenario from ever becoming a reality. However, the world is faced with incessant escalatory actions and aggression coming from the political West, which is starting wars all across the globe, in addition to economic and other forms of pressure and coercion used against any “non-compliant fence sitters“, as approximately 80% of the world was described by the political West’s leadership.

Any attempt to appease the US belligerent thalassocracy has been proven futile, even counterproductive, as the political West sees such actions as a form of weakness. It is precisely this viewpoint that is responsible for nearly all global security risks. Unfortunately, at present, there is no evidence to believe such forces exist in Western establishments.

What nuclear war? Russia is always running around reassuring all their enemies that the Russians would never use nuclear weapons first because Putin is some kind of passive humanitarian or some such….it is no wonder the West keeps escalating, they know they can get away with anything and everything.

What nuclear war indeed.

Not to belabor the point, but the laws of physics (from before “science” became “scientism”) precludes the existence of “nuclear explosions.”

To keep it short and sweet, to those that still value delving into the details, here is a good start:

There is no need for a “nukular woar” after all, 2.5 billion people have already been killed via “Nucleic War.”

Believe whatever you would like, just realize that “Nuclear Weapons” have as much scientific validity as the “Flat Earth” bullshit.

Russia will use any means it deems necessary if Russia is under existential threat. Putin himself has said that.

Putin keeps changing the doctrine to please his “partners” or something…

There will be no nuclear war. Nuclear war is a tool of the elite to goad people.

Problem is the Washington regime is starting to resemble the unhinged balance of the Kyiv regime, it is not acting rationally anymore. Article precision strikes the point in conclusion. They believe their own hype of being exceptional and an indispensable nation, USA is so rotten from the core out, it’s unlikely to ever relinquish it’s Fourth Reich aspirations now.

Russia must do what Russia must do to bring Zelenska to heel and teach the deep state run impostors who have taken over the U.S a lesson.

Woke shit ends at Russia’s doorstep.

From there, the U.S burns itself out and a great cleansing of those people will take place because all this woke socialist garbage requires infinite growth, and that is not an expense that the world can afford for something so useless.

Reality Check

It would not take much to reduce the population by 5 billion people. 1. Stop fertilizer production or stop its trade with unfriendly countries. Reduces yield 2. Increase fuel costs to the farmers, who can now plant less acreage. Reduces yield 3. Increase the costs of pesticides to the farmer. Reduces yield 4. Earth’s magnetic field continues to weaken, allowing the jet stream to wander, bringing erratic weather to the croplands. Reduces yield 5. Increase government meddling in trading agricultural products. Reduces yield

I think we are well on are way to reducing the Earth’s population without throwing nukes around. What would take a decade, would only take a year if nukes are used.

This death toll is simply not true. I’m definitely not wanting any nuclear conflict but this 5 billion number is way over inflated because it assumes all the nuke detonations will be surface bursts. This whole time the Russia and US doctrines call for most of the targets to be hit by air burst for maximum destruction. Air bursts do not suck ground debris up into the atmosphere and they produce very little fallout. Moreover the total amount of stratosphere heating would be effectively minimal so the ozone layer is in no real danger. The study is simply wrong.

It is not a matter of ‘if’ there will be a nuclear war, but ‘when’. Especially given the fact of ongoing nuclear proliferation there will most likely be nuclear war coming as more and more countries acquire nukes. Too bad!

It may actually be enough to nuke one major city in the world, a city with a few million inhabitants, for every human and all organic life forms to perish, some sea creatures may survive in the depths of the oceans and probably most of the insects as well. And no, people hiding in their DUMBs are, really dumb, for they are not gonna survive either, as the surface wont be habitable again for around 100 years! This is a worst case scenario. So what I’m saying here is that it is very unlikely that any nation with nuclear weapons at their disposal are gonna be dumb enough to use them, for they know the truth about what can happen. But it is still a great idea to use against smaller nations, and a great way to control the billions of people all around the world who are totally dumbed down, for they don’t know the truth and never will as they only believe what the MSN tells them. For this reason North Korea will never be attacked by the US as that, as I just explained, might result in the total destruction of the world.

Deception rules the world, yes that is exactly right, my friend. And fittingly the evildoers have been named the Empire of Lies, I think by by some Russians? And the global warming scam, of course, is another great deception designed to hold the masses under control. And what better way is there to keep these fools under control than the lies of the MSN? For the people are mostly totally dumbed down, beyond repair even in most cases. And the secret to the evil doers power over the populous of this wicked world of ours is fear, they control everything with fear.

Look at it from a different direction.

Global warming is totally unbelievable and bizzare at best. It is like a flat Earth theory. But zombies/parazytes would parrot anything to show their asslicking and spite.

Masks don’t work any more. Use this opportunity to learn to distinguish between deception and truth, between zombies/parazytes and alive people. Zombies/parazytes are empty vessels, they only have viruses in them installed from outside through emotions/pathos. Alive people have a soul/human Operating System.

Zombies are only capable of conformity. They are dead. They cannot think for themselves. They are self-destructing. And that is a good thing.

Fear is one of the methods. Main ones are greed, control and status. It is defined as psychopathy in Psychiatry.

Zombies/parazytes live off and for greed, control and status. They are hypnotized by status. It is like submissiveness to a herd/cult. Emotions are hypnosis.

Their biggest dream is to have slaves. Why? They cannot survive by themselves. They are totally uncapable of even growing food by themselves and feeding themselves.

Terrible headline, 5b would die in Russia, US nuclear war. How about billions would die should ~US UK F NATO use nukes or another headline. The Georgia guidestones goal of only half a million people left on Earth is likely to be a reality if NATO uses nukes. It is actually be the WEF’s goal to reduce the world’s population to a fraction of what it currently is and this goal is expressed in the Georgia Guidestones which were recently removed after decades. The problem is that those who want the population reduction expect to survive the nuclear war themselves, with only a few left alive to service them with sex, blood, adrenochrome, body parts, hard graft and technical know how while the rest of us would be far happier if those who want the world’s population reduced by nefarious and warmongering means would themselves die off FAST. If only the satanists survive the nuclear war thy are BEGGING for, we would prefer the world to END completely rather than it being turned into hell on earth, which it already is progressing towards with the machinations of this parasitic scum. So Russia, we forgive you ahead if you bomb NATO nations, whatever transpires. We do ask that you ensure you GET Klaus Schwab, Gates and the satanic bunch of parasite scum.
