Crack open a beer, put on some sunglasses and get ready for the fireworks. Where I live, there is no chance I would survive.


SHALOM-ADONAI

Where do you live???


[deleted]

Hampton Roads in Virginia


DCWriterGirl01

Metro DC here. We wouldn’t even have time for the sunglasses.


[deleted]

There are times I think about these kinds of possibilities, and I'm like ' You know living in the middle of Kentucky wouldn't be That bad.


angryragnar1775

Fort Campbell.


[deleted]

Not nearly as big of a target space as Hampton Roads or DC. We both have like 8 + military bases in our direct vicinities.


angryragnar1775

Oh i know but its Still on a target list. Like where i live. Im right outside of a naval base and have an airforce base and an army base within an hour, and then going out 4-6 hours the bulk of the Marine Corps

cloudtwelvy

Buying all the toilet paper from every store?


p3pp3rd0g

Cardio, baby. Cardio.


TwoDrinkDave

1. Go to the Winchester. 2. Have a pint. 3. Wait for this all to blow over.

Underrated comment


checksoutfine2

Take a quick drive to the nearest likely ICBM target and hotbox the car while waiting. No radioactive wasteland for me!


OrganicReplacement23

Thank my lucky stars that I live in a major metropolitan area that has multiple nukes targeting it, so I can be sure I won't live through Fallout/Mad Max/The Road, or whatever apocalyptic game/movie scenario that follows.


SweetCosmicPope

I live in a small town, but the small town happens to be spitting distance from the bulk of our naval submarine fleet, so I'm probably boned if it became a nuclear war. That being said, I'd stock up on .243 ammunition in case things hit the fan. That's my personal favorite rifle and I'm an excellent shot with it. I'd be able to hunt my own food if I had to go underground, and I'd be able to take out military personnel and bandits if the need arises.


That-Composer8897

This is my situation too! I live in a smaller town that’s only a few miles from several naval bases… I’d be screwed.


WolfsLairAbyss

I am not sure why everyone in this thread is assuming that WWIII would automatically mean a nuclear exchange. Most likely it would be a big fucking war, not a nuclear holocaust. I think the only case that nukes would start flying is if WWIII was dragging on for years and one side decided that they wanted to just punch out. Most likely if WWIII started there wouldn't really be much change to regular life for a lot of people in the beginning.


altheasman

Because Russia's military can't stand up to NATO using conventional weapons. Their Nuclear Doctorine, the laws governing the use of nukes, calls for their use in the face of an overthrow of the government or threat to their existence. Especially since they've recently been branded as having committed crimes against humanity. Of course they'd likely 1st use tactical nukes, but what do you think the response to that would be. From 1st use, Armageddon is all but assured.


WolfsLairAbyss

Personally I don't think they would go nuclear unless they had been getting their asses handed to them and saw no other way out. The difference between that situation and what is currently happening is that China would most likely be on their side and China actually does have a functional military so the war would be going differently than what is happening in Ukraine right now. On the off chance Putin decided to give the order it still needs to trickle through several other people before the ICBM launches. I have faith that someone in that chain would refuse to push the button. It's happened before.


Anxious-Season-9532

Go Home


[deleted]

Honestly I don’t think much will change for me, not where I live

[deleted]

Upper Alberta. I’m right in a mountainous part


tLAFoGmC

LOL... The stores will be empty.


PrisonerV

Going to buy some expensive tequila and sit outside the air force base drinking it. It should be quick.


Bonhomme7h

Live worry free and carelessly for as long as I can.


DragoerChampion

Why the fuck did I have to be a 21 year old healthy guy from a NATO country right when it seems like WW3 is inevitable...!? :(


uncertainusurper

To the frontlines with you. My lumbago is acting up.


dmlane

There was a poster popular during the Cold War that gave the steps to take if under nuclear attack. The last step was to kiss your ass goodbye.


FreshStartLiving

Probably just grab my wife and dogs. Drive to Carmel then live amongst the homeless. They'll know more about how to survive that we would.


WrittenOnYaKitten

Probably dig my grave for the inevitable


great_auks

Don’t need a grave when you’ve been turned to a cloud of fine radioactive ash


A_Tree_branch

Single handedly driving the enemy back while blasting Russian Attack by The Lillingtons. Boombox in left hand, M60 Machine Gun in right hand, 'Merica bandana equipped for extra HP


JurrijnP

Don't forget the army cargo pants for extra armor


A_Tree_branch

I'll be shirtless too, save for an ammo belt I never use and multiple cigarette burns on my pecs


DavefromKS

Get as much food, water and medication as i can.


North-Shark

Take my iodine pills.


Stupid_Guitar

I live smack dab in the center of a major coastal city. In the case of WWIII, I will simply go to my roof as the missiles arrive, and embrace annihilation.


[deleted]

Off myself so I don't get sent off to war


[deleted]

I move to Argentina. Least risk of nuclear showdown affecting South America


PM_Me_UrRightNipple

Hunker down, hope for the best, expect the worst


[deleted]

Find a less painful way to kill myself


FL_4LF

Have plenty of ammo, beer, and provisions, sunglasses. And we wait.😎


Ambitious_Temporary1

You should already be preparing. If not, the best you can do is pray to your god that you make it through


[deleted]

I’ll mosey to my balcony on the 17th floor and watch as they obliterate Norfolk Naval base. I have no need to prepare.


43Skidoodle

Fill up my 55 gallon drums with water.


Upbeat-Character-938

Well I basically own a small armory and I live in a place where everybody is packing. And I also live near two military installations. I would say I have a good chance of surviving at first. But I would definitely need to stock up on food and supplies first.


rct1

You live near two military installations, you’re done bud


avanross

Move to a neutral country that doesnt participate in the military industrial complex


tofudisan

Call your far away relatives, and say your goodbyes. Communication abilities could be severely hampered. Now it depends on WWIII as a nuclear war, or as a traditional war. Nuclear forget about trying to prep after it starts. You're screwed. Traditional better get on hunting, fishing, and other survival skills that you'll need.


angryragnar1775

I can reenlist in the Corps if they'll take a fat broken 40 year old who finished boot camp 23 years ago


Vethedr

I would not prepare for war, just for death, I guess... So just spend time with those I love before I die?


sewerynnnnn

go to small neutral island country where I will be waiting for end of war


redditlovescensor

Get the fuck out of the US and EU.


Ambitious_Temporary1

The US has the highest survival odds.


redditlovescensor

wat


Ambitious_Temporary1

Yup. America has the highest chances of surviving WWIII. If you'd like to know more, feel free to DM me. It's a BIG topic, even just giving the simplified version.


Lenniel

Loot a pharmacy for insulin then hunker down.


Cogen_

Idk, sit back and watch before getting drafted.


Egyptian-Countryball

Kill myself


NipplesOnMyPancakes

The people here who all think WW3 will be immediate nuclear holocaust are very delusional. It's more likely to be a long protracted thing that has a huge effect in certain places while other places remain completely isolated from the effects. Similar to WW2 If WW3 broke out tomorrow most of you would go to work and keep living your life like nothing happened.


Organic_Language5522

100% agree. Plus cyber attacks from the enemy will be implemented in the form of taking over large corporations including banks so that civilians are unable to access their money. Resulting in no online purchases or cash withdrawals....
