Jeff did this person post from the us?

What was the deciding factor? I would like to leave for a bit as well and I’m trying to convince my spouse. We may leave out of the country if need be.

What Putin said yesterday. Or rather, how he looked when he said it. Something’s up with him. He’s changed somehow. He’s always been a monster, but even his eyes look different now. Like he just doesn’t care. He got backed into a corner and started a war to save face. Now I think he knows it’s all going to fall apart, and I really do think he’ll launch missiles out of sheer spite. If he’s going to lose, why not take the world down with him, kinda deal. I wonder if he has a terminal illness? I don’t know, but we’re getting out. If nothing comes of it, well the worst thing is that we paid for 3 weeks in a shabby looking 2 bedroom cabin in the middle of nowhere. I’ll take that gamble.

I figured back then I would have 5 minutes ish to get into a basement or the center of a tall building. Looked like greatest possibility would be for radiation to blow east or northeast. Seems logical because weather normally moves in that direction. I think you're supposed to stay bunkered 2 days. Not certain on number of days

That was for a dirty bomb, not an actual nuke.

I just had a discussion with my cousin tonight about leaving the country and going where we have a second citizenship for a few weeks. We're on the fence.

Potassium iodide. Science.

That sounds like a horse paste kinda deal. Same vein.

From the CDC: https://www.cdc.gov/nceh/radiation/emergencies/ki.htm#:~:text=potassium%20iodide)%3F-,What%20is%20Potassium%20Iodide%20(KI)%3F,most%20sensitive%20to%20radioactive%20iodine.

Still sounds like horse paste and fish tank cleaner and injecting bleach. Nuttery.
