A similar logic can be applied to other, somewhat less apocalyptic events. A financial collapse brought on by the hubris of central bankers, for example, would bring great suffering in the near term but remove their leverage for control. The resources required to maintain the current social order, based as it is on lies and contrary as it is in every way to human nature, are vast. You would think they would understand this. No doubt their predecessors appreciated it quite keenly. The current crop of elites by contrast, seem to think their positions ordained by God (maybe not the Christian God....) and therefore play chicken with catastrophe.

To the subject, I suspect the aftermath may be the Latin American century rather than the Chinese. First, because I doubt very much Asia would emerge unscathed. Second, because fallout world be a severe problem throughout the northern hemisphere in the event of a strategic exchange on such a scale. Nowhere is more irrelevant than Latin America, save perhaps Africa ... but we all Africa is dependent on food aid from a civilization that would be dead, so. Latin America, OTOH, can feed itself, provide its own energy, and is remarkably antifragile due to its political decentralization and, ironically, its corruption - things barely work there as it is, and the cities are quite accustomed to being barely functional islands of civilization in a sea of barbarism.

There's also Australia, of course, but even assuming they don't get drawn in, their population is very small. They may remain an outpost of relatively safe and prosperous civilization, but they would not dominate.

Regarding Australia, our tax structure drives manufacturing and infrastructure away. The issue is in doubt that we could regenerate our industrial sector absent global trade.

Regarding the elites… https://open.substack.com/pub/boriquagato/p/gatos-postulate?r=1azse9&utm_medium=ios

I can believe that, particularly the south of the country.

The predicted death count for the US is only for the first days. The vast majority of survivors would die of starvation within a few weeks.

Correct. Fatalities described by the sim are only from immediate effects.

A rather sobering piece, Mythos. I like it. Someone has to talk reality about the situation. There hasn't been a smiliar population kill situation since the Plague (a topic for another day). Why do our fake and gay leaders keep pushing for the worst?

When you say that the Constitution and Bill of Rights would be suspended, while that totally makes sense I think it would be different than the current de facto suspension of them due to fabricated "emergencies".

I would bet that the surviving people's instincts would definitely kick in to a large degree -- those that intended to cooperate for survival anyway. So martial law would be well understood as obviously necessary at the individual survival level.

I think that'd also be a time of reckoning, i.e., how did the previous (our current) system enable such a horrific outcome. With life that raw and hard, essentially back to the frontier days, I think people would be very unhappy about allowing the same thing to play out again.

But who knows? I do know that, living here in St. Mary's County in Maryland (and a few miles from the US Navy Air Command), there's little-to-no chance of survival. Direct blast, firestorm or subsequent radiation, etc.

These lunatics that are binging us to the brink of that disaster apparently have little grasp of reality. "As long as it takes" they say, with little concrete discussion of what "it" actually means. I'm certain they think they can "win" and survive, right back in charge.

I think that the people would be angry, and with any expeditionary capability destroyed, this anger could only be directed inwards. There would be a reckoning and a re-negotiation.

Do you refer to everything as a myth because of your pseudonym? The geological evidence of a global flood is strong. Other than the destruction of cities, I don't think anything is guaranteed. Without them the Davos crowd loses control and I think the survivors do OK.

Any government officials that caused or allowed a nuclear exchanged would be identified and killed on sight in the aftermath of a nuclear holocaust.

It seems you forgot to talk about gardens in this post apocalyptic scenario :)

We still have something in common, for I wrote something about it (if you like):

I'm definitely more pessimistic on the outcome of such a war, by the way. Few years of nuclear winter (no light/glacial temperatures) would be enough for a nearly total annihilation... But I'm a humble gardener, so nevermind.

not a chance our nukes will work , probably the ruskies either neither have been doing maintenance on them in decades.

The only scenario that matters is found in Jeremiah chapter 50 and 51 in the Holy Bible. These chapters explain that a nation from the North will attack Babylon, (America), and destroy it in one hour. The Russians have built bomb shelters to shield their people from a reprisal attack, the Russians know that their citizens are their most valuable asset, not the government and the military. Run your simulation under the Biblical view.

Your interpretation of Jer 50-51 is exactly correct. Rev 6:8 and 18:8 allude to these two chapters and summarize the destruction that is nuclear war. Rev 18:8 is the destruction of Babylon, just like Jer 50-51. The "fourth part of the earth" of Rev 6:8 are the NATO countries, which literally is a quadrant of the Earth, north and west of Jerusalem. WWIII began in 2014, which is the Chinese year of the pale horse, with a coup d'é·tat in the Ukraine. Men will see the destruction of Europe and North America--much of the White race--as a chastisement from God. Sodom will go up in smoke. The Jews rejected Jesus Christ. His apostles converted Europe, but now the Europeans have rejected Him too. God will turn to the Christians in Africa and Latin America to convert China, India and Japan.

The interesting passages are Rev 13:13 and 19:20. Rev 13:13 alludes to Holy Fire in the Holy Sepulcher each Holy Saturday. This helps to identify the figures in verses 1 and 11 of Rev 13 with the Patriarchs of Constantinople and Moscow. These two figures (which represent the countries mentioned in Jer 50-51) are then alive at the Lord’s return in Rev 19:20. When you put everything together, you realize that the NATO countries—the Patriarchate of the West—all meet death, while Russia survives.

This suggests a first strike by Russia and a retaliatory strike by the NATO countries, who seem to think that by putting pressure on Russia they can cause its government to collapse, much as the Soviet government collapsed. Instead, the natural reaction of the Russians is to feel threatened by more and more offensive missiles on their border and methodically to plan out and to execute a nuclear first strike, at the optimal instant, in order to preempt the threat. The Russians have taken nine years so far, but they won’t take forever. Eventually, they will conclude that their best opportunity is to act immediately, and then they will launch.

The rest of the world will remember them for it, however. They will be feared, but they will be unable to lead the world morally. Their crime will haunt them forever. Not much will be left in the NATO countries. Conventional missiles can put nuclear power plants into meltdown. The author of this article is too optimistic about the outcome. Everyone who does not emigrate the First World shortly will die. Cain will slay Abel and bear the mark, east of Eden, while Seth becomes father of all the living. The Lord will baptize the First and Second worlds with fire (in Rev 6:8, 18:8 and 19:20) and the Third World with the Holy Ghost.

A few realize that Rev 2-3 is a synopsis in chronological order of the whole prophecy, but many do not. The Church age of Ephesus ended with the destruction of Jerusalem in 135. The Church age of Smyrna ended with the Diocletianic Persecution. The Church age of Pergamos ended in 451 with the First Schism, which legitimated the Christian persecution of the Christian. Now the Church age of Thyatira will shortly come to an end with the fall of Babylon, which is the destruction of a fourth part of the Earth. The Church age of Sardis will end with the Lord’s return and with Armageddon. Many confuse what is happening now with Armageddon, but it is the end of a different age—the age in which it will be the job of the Global South to convert China, India and Japan. When He broke the Fourth Seal in Rev 6:8, the Lord pronounces the same judgment on the Europeans as Mt 10:14-15. Sodom is about to go up in smoke. Atlantis is about to sink beneath the waves.
