The SLBMs from the Atlantic will hit in 6-7 minutes and wipe out the east coast. The ICBMs from Russia will take 20-30 minutes and wipe out the heartland and west coast.

Emergency broadcast system: "Incoming nuclear warhead detected. Americans have less than 5 minutes to live."

Me: "Fewer."

The horrible thing is that restoring the internet will be a top priority, so we’ll end up living in the post apocalyptic road warrior world… with Twitter.

1. I really don't know, but I used to think (when I thought about such things) that's 30 minutes

From launch to impact from the Russia.

Those that survive have the nuclear winter to content with.

Those that die by immediately by heat/blast - they used to say might be the lucky ones.

But what really surprised me, was they didn’t blame ANTIFA and BLM.

On edit: I hadn’t thought about the Subs hitting the East Coast… yep, 5 - 8 minutes.
