Relic or Timely?

Relic or Timely?
Larchmont, NY

The basement in my building has been a "fallout" shelter since the 1950s when the specter of nuclear war was great. Although over the last few decades it appeared signs like these appeared to be relics of the past suddenly after Russia pushes on with its invasion of Ukraine, the risks of nuclear war have reached their highest level ever (higher than even the Cuban Missile crises of the 1960s) and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov warns, "WWIII can only be nuclear" they are appropriate and fitting for 2022. :( Pray for Peace and no World War III!

Of course, this fallout shelter would be porous at best since windows could be blown in from any blasts and radiation would certainly enter through the elevator shafts.

Sadly, basement-shelter or not, no where really is safe anymore. :( Stay well and pray the war doesn't spread.

I hear you. Sadly, with nuclear war it may be the dead that will be the lucky ones vs. the survivors who will suffer terrible burns, blindness, radiation poisoning, cancers if they live long enough and a bleak world with starvation and lack of safe drinking water. I guess the stark reality is if this threshold was crossed, which no sane person would do, the choice would be a quick or a slow death. :(

Den Gebeten kann man sich nur anschließen. Ein sicherer Bunker würde nichts helfen, irgendwann muss jeder wieder an die verstrahlte Oberfläche.

It is terrifying and terribly sad that we should even be having these conversations and considering what potentially the next world war could look like. The world has seen enough devastation. Let us hope that sanity prevails
