Why Finland has 54,000 Nuclear Bunkers (some with swimming pools)

1. Fantasy....acting as mass pablum that YOU CAN survive nuclear war...or would want to.

Duck and cover not good enough feed now.

2. It's not about surviving a nuclear war, it's about a commitment to total national defense

against a large aggressor nation on your border.

3. You should watch the whole video, it's pretty interesting

Bottom-line, a 'nuclear bunker' is also a 'bomb shelter', which is actually the main reason for them having so many, since they abut Russia and have suffered a Ukraine-like attack in the past from Stalin.

Probably most of these bunkers aren't really going to keep people alive through a serious nuclear attack for very long, but they'll keep you safe during conventional bombing.

So it really should be labeled 'bomb shelters' but that's not going to draw the same attention/eyeballs.

5. "A nuclear bunker is also a bomb shelter"

4. Exactly

The planet earth would suffer exponentially more from a nuclear war, than any asteroid that ever hit the planet.......

A lot of people probably look at Hiroshima when they think of a nuclear war. I am not an expert, but I figure that EACH nuclear warhead these days is at least 1000 times more powerful than the ones dropped on Japan....And that the HALF LIFE of the radioactivity would be hundreds, if not thousands of times longer than the ones used in Japan.....

It is estimated that an all out nuclear war would release thousands upon thousands of Nuclear Weapons on the planet Earth, from the U.S and Russia alone................

My wife was worried about Putin starting a nuclear war. I told her that if he did, the extremely bright light from a nuclear weapon released anywhere near us, and our brains could not even have time to think about it, before we were vaporized.........Not to be pessimistic, but to be realistic.......

The only way for ANYONE to win at nuclear warfare, is not to play.............

6. Again the video is not about surviving a nuclear war,

it's about self defense against a large aggressor nation on your border.

The video is well worth watching for historic lessons on a how nation (which by the way has been ranked as the happiest nation on earth for the past five years) can rebound from losing some of its' territory to a murderous dictator.

7. If World War III comes, and the nuke start flying....

I’m going to sit on my deck, pop the tab on a good beer, sit in my very comfy chair, and wait to be turned to dust. That’s about all one can do.

[Uncle Joe]

8. What if conventional war were to occur with a much larger, powerful aggressor nation

bombing all the residences, hospitals, schools and infrastructure in your city and state?

But it wasn't nuclear, what would you do in that case?

[ashredux]

9. Fight like hell.... I was in the 101st airborne. I learned how to fight.

I’m getting old, getting damn old, but I’d still fight. So fuck you and your post.

[Uncle Joe]

10. I was in the Marines, why the hostility on a simple question?

If you had watched the video or read the posts upthread you would know, this wasn't about surviving nuclear war.

11. And if you had any brains, but then you were a marine, you would know my post was mostly in jest

First, chill out. Have a beer….relax…..

[Uncle Joe]

12. Well it was rather hilarious

but I don't need a beer to chill out.

13. Cool... have a nice evening
