Everything The US Government Has Planned For Surviving A Nuclear Attack

Weird History | November 6, 2025



Though the threat of worldwide nuclear annihilation has lessened somewhat since the end of the Cold War, the US government’s nuclear plans have gotten more sophisticated. Focus has altered from a large-scale exchange of thousands of missiles to small-scale incidents, and in response, arrangements have shifted more towards detection, prevention, and the aftermath.

And yet, the legacy of the Cold War looms large, particularly in the wake of 9/11. From the old behemoth bunkers at Raven Rock and Cheyenne Mountain to sophisticated new missile tracking satellites, the United States government is committed to covering all the bases and remaining as secure as possible in the event of a crisis. This includes both preserving the president and senior leadership and informing the citizens how to prepare for a nuclear event.

    LOL, what a load of crud.

    It's all ' security theatre '.

    The only plans for survival are for government officials and certain military, everyone else is expendable. These plans won't last two seconds in a full scale nuclear war. There will be a complete breakdown of everything and implementing any ' plan ' after a nuclear war will be impossible.

    This is the same illusion that the UK government used for years and was completely exposed as utterly useless by the movie " Threads ".

    Only clowns talk about winning and surviving a nuclear war.

    In reality, all nation states will collapse and decades of anarchy, warlords and authoritarian dictators will follow. That's if enough survive to even form some sort of civilisation. This is what happens when centralised government collapses. There will be no centralised and coordinated response after a nuclear war.

    It's game over and we will return to a ' year zero ' that will take a century or more to recover from and I doubt very much of what comes out the other side will resemble any nation state known now.

    This entire video is just wishful thinking and optimism at best, completely delusional at worst.

    For 40 yrs after there would be a very severe drop in the birth rate. That alone could decimate the rest of the human population as well as those ken will not be able to survive into adulthood with no vaccination and polluted environment.

    "Duck And Cover" is also good during tornado warnings, (This is of course assuming that they are not taking about having a unit of trained water foul armed with support weapons.)

    Syria,Iranian,Chinese,Africa all single age military men entering our country the passing out of the satellite phones to all members of congress, not all excepted at first but soon went to collect the phone Why?. The non-stop delivery of medical , Medicines,Food , to all 3 underground cities the Biden Administration has been delivering to since the 2020 steal. 8 undercover police station the Chinese had the FBI found so far throughout America, 3 Spy balloons released in Alaska and travelled all the way across America only being shot down after after after after reaching South Carolina 😢. The Huge fallout self sufficient underground home Mark Zuckerberg is building in Hawaii buy up a famous ranch so far he has spent over $270 million just on the project. A 5000sq underground self sufficient state of the art fallout bunker. Why underground? The right in your face corruption and fraud by our Government, The 1900 food warehouses destroyed in one yr in USA by Govt Biden Administration. The destruction to all egg farms in USA, the paying American farmers to destroy healthy Grown Crops and was told do it and the government will pay you $3600 an acre if done with low emissions machinery you will make an extra $200 an acre . The release of Virus on the American people and pushing a vaccine we now have learned not healthy for the human body , Pfizer President himself released this statement, the collapse of the American economy the dollar not worth anything, 150,000 Doctors releasing reports on the dangers of the vaccine and Johnson&Johnson has pulled theirs off the market due to the overwhelming deaths it was causing , the immoral change way of life being taught in our public schools, The $14 Trillion dollars spent in 3 yrs by the Biden administration. More money in 3 yrs than from George Washington-Donald Trump. Combined. Needy people are more obedient when hungry or needing medical attention or medicine. The evil that’s coming will start the end, My personal opinion is the illegal imagination is going to allow an attack in America to make 9/11 look like a birthday party , the talk of banning weapons. How would the government disarm over 1.2 trillion weapons out of Americans hands that would not start a civil war. Allow nuclear weapons to land in the country and let the fallout Radioactive to kill the majority of the USA citizens. Depopulation, total control, The great reset ..

    Time to prep before the elections escaped them while you can, go to an island, mountains and islands. Buy guns and ammo, buy a first aid kit with other cleaning supplies like snitches, bandages and other, radiation protection suit, use a bicycle/bike. Buy gold and silver for barteing items, stock water and food, canned food, pile of resources. You have survive your own. Buy a gas mask, buy an firestarter kit, or a fishing gear. Practice karate or fighting skills. Avoid any camps, do not go through tunnels, trains, bridges. Buy growing seeds and plantation of vegetables the aftermath, buy batteries and powered battery radio to community and regroup to survive, build an sanctuary for survivors, like the mad max. Buy a flashlight or candles, Go into bunker or buy a bunker, use gloves, while touch nuclear. Buy a multi knife to combat, save up prep videos while you have to survive, without electricity. Do on your own you have to survive on your own. No one helping you

    Livin in a neutral country wasnt great either even though i dont think we would targeted directly by nuclear attack, but the post nuclear detonation would made those who survived suffer greatly, hope we will survive and continue Human history.
