If the worse happens in the war, what happens in Thailand?

[Jingthing]

I haven't heard this discussed before but I think the time has now come to face this.

 

Putin is cornered and threatening to use nukes and the majority of pundits and world leaders think he might be serious. 

 

If that happens the west will retaliate and from there there is the real chance of full nuclear war destroying Russia, Europe, and North America. 

 

IF that happens, God forbid, but there really is a chance, what happens to the people in Thailand.

 

Does that mean nuclear winter here? What exactly is that experience like for people? 

 

Would food immediately be in shortage or how long will that take?

 

Would the thin veneer of civilization fall apart immediately here?

 

What would daily life be like after such a catastrophe?

 

Imagine the expats having no home to go back to even if they could.

 

Obviously the global financial system would stop functioning..

 

Europeans and Americans would be better off here initially but for how long.

 

Seeking responses from science types that actually have knowledge of these matters.

 

It is not intended as gloom and doom porn. 

 

Discussions about the war and theoretical escalation scenarios not welcome here.

 

The topic is only about f this worse case scenario occurs, what happens in Thailand.

Fist thing would be to make Som Tam.

Don't think about it. It's nothing you can prepare for.

Ok you could survive somewhat longer hiding in a cave/bunker.

Living on hunting, collecting fruit etc. Back to stone age just no mammoth.

But within weeks and months the northern hemisphere would become an unfriendly habitat. Yes, nuclear winter.

Also read that with some delay the fallout/pollution would also stretch to the southern hemisphere. So sorry you Australians.

Now waiting for the next Hollywood Armageddon movie.

 

There is speculation that the Russians could come through with a tactical ("small") nuke for "demo" purposes and the west would not strike back.

more nuclear pollution for the planet

T.A.T. will put its own spin on it somehow....?

[Hummin]

New fighter jets  from Sweden and  USA and Subs without engines from China, as well High Speed railway. 

 

What can possible go wrong? 

 

We have discussed many times That Thailand follow the wind, and most likely will choose the future strongest partner. 

 

 Choose Thailand as your only home at the moment is risky.

Well you went there.

Yes the Russians if they do would start small.

But the west would definitely respond strongly  even without nukes.

That would be the critical decision time for Putin that could start the end.

Dystopia has many avenues... not just nuclear

 

climate change makes insurance cos go bankrupt or raise premiums so high people cannot afford them...

 

global warming brings disease. 

 

people lose trust in govts and democratic systems fail... anarchy grows...  

 

historically, here is the only solution I have heard: 

 

We took a little bacon and we took a little beans
And we caught the bloody British in the town of New Orleans

We fired our guns and the British kept a-com'in
There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

Realistically What can you do?

Stock up on big packages of Mama Noodles, tins of tuna. Make sure you have lots of TV and movies on external hard drives as streaming services will fry. Stock up on alcohol. If no nuclear holocaust, no worries, you can use it all during the next covid surge/lockdown. Oh, and don't forget the Bud.

Sorry Jing- as you can see, that's proven to be a fail straight outta the gate.

Tourism Authority will claim it is 100% safe. Please come to Thailand!

This subject was thoroughly researched from both sides during the Cold War. Go search the Internet or buy a book to educate yourself, instead of seeking the opinions of people which probably dropped from high school. There were many models loaded with possible inputs and generating outcomes, most predicting the end of the world as we know it.

Excellent visa extension options.

 

Like the COVID extension, but nuclear.

Try again. The first thing is to have air purifiers with the best HEPA filters that you can afford, don't forget that these require electricity so you need either solar or batteries. New release EV cars can help as you can draw power from it.

 

Water is easier to secure as the bottled water lasts long time. Food is even easier.

 

The only thing which can't be prepacked is air, and this is where the radiation will come from.

 

And don't worry about the uber rich, they prepared expensive bunkers in New Zealand with swimming pools and food to last for 5 years.

My assumption is that those living in Thailand would mostly eventually die from such an event but wondering about the details. Such as how quickly things would fall apart here. Like the same day or gradually.

So you don’t think is possible. 

You're wrong.

The Fat Lady would start singing.

If it did actually kick off ( which we all hope it doesn't ) then my personal opinion is that  living in a small Thai village might be a good option . 

 

I cannot imagine , no matter how hard  I try to recall , that I could have made a post that Putin found so offensive that he tracked me down via my ISP and dropped one on me.

 

OK , posting a picture of a full English breakfast and commenting positively  about it does wind up a lot of members but surely , a nuclear response is way over the top. 

 

I feel a sarcastic remark from Liverpool Loo would be ample punishment for most people.

How long would it take for Grab food delivery to go offline?

 

What would happen to the baht?

So you think in case of nuclear war the Grab drivers would roam through the radioactive clouds to deliver you radioactive food?

 

Unbelievable.

Worrying about negative stuff that might happen that you cannot control only makes your health worse.

 

Utter waste of time. Plan your next beach visit or something.

I remember starting a similar thread in elementary school around 1982. I think the discussion back then was a bit more intelligent.

Don't tell me what I think.

But on that subject how soon would it take for the environmental stuff to be noticed in Thailand?

Hours, days, weeks  etc.?

Would the banks close and how soon?

Wait until the single brain cell warmongering trolls appear here with slogans like "Nuke them!" or "Our nukes are better than theirs".

I would say within 15 minutes you won't be able to post any trolling post as the root DNS servers will be down across the world.
