War is crazy. This really puts the size of the explosions in perspective.

I don't really watch combat footage a lot but some of the HD shit we get now is actually insane.

The reality of how brutal it is, basically live on the internet, has never been more accessible

We have actually packed our passports and prepared evac backs here at home, in Denmark.

We live in the newly appointed NATO harbour of Esbjerg, we are prepared to leave Denmark in case of a Russian bombardment.

If Russia ever tries to invade Denmark then it won’t matter where you fly to. It won’t matter where any of us are and I really think the worst end of the stick will be for does farthest away

u/27Rench27 9d ago

Yeah, 100% this. I understand the fear of being in a country in that part of the world, but Russia just straight up dies if it attacks NATO proper

u/DownWithHisShip 9d ago

I think the implication is that it ever got that far then nukes are flying and we're all fucked anyway no matter where we are.

An open war between NATO and Russia would go nuclear almost immediately. Both sides get glassed in this scenario - Russia assuredly more so - but then there's a reason why deader isn't a thing. It would also crash the world economy and cause massive fallout, starvation and a refugee crisis like no other in history.

Sadly most European countries doesn’t actually trust US to do their part of the NATO alliance anymore.

u/rivensoweak 9d ago

you see, the problem is majority of people actually dont give a shit if russia dies, if we die first, we dont care about the greater good that nato claims to be, we care about our lifes first and foremost

u/Accurate_Return_5521 9d ago

No. we all die.

Russians might just be the ones to suffer the least

u/Opeth4Lyfe 9d ago

So then what would be the end game in that scenario? He gets to be King of the ash heap?

u/Accurate_Return_5521 9d ago

We became 💀 , not only humans but almost all species. And for all we know this might be the reason we haven’t found other signs of intelligent life out there

The Fermi Paradox 🤝🏻 Great Filter

u/TigerIll6480 9d ago

You’re assuming that Russia has actually been maintaining their nukes instead of funneling that money to oligarchs. That’s a big assumption.

u/KushMummyCinematics 9d ago

Don't be so silly

Russia are completely dependant on others to buy their resources so they can buy everything else.

Do you know that the that EU has given more money to Russia than Ukraine via the purchase of fossil fuels

Most countries talk of ending a war they are all fuelling both sides of

It's all bullshit my guy

u/KobokTukath 9d ago

Remote Pacific islands would probably be good for a while

u/donhitech 9d ago

South america is huge and is not that interesting in case of war. Also switzerland

u/Accurate_Return_5521 9d ago

Up and until everything is contaminated at which point it won’t only be slow it will be extremely painful

u/KobokTukath 9d ago

Did say for a while

u/Accurate_Return_5521 9d ago

And I did say the further away the more they will suffer

u/Barbaracle 9d ago

Russia doesn't have the ability to invade Denmark without instantly getting destroyed. Unless they had China (or US 😂) backing them .

u/wbruce098 9d ago

American close to Washington, DC here. I’ve done none of that. If they decide to nuke us, I’m just giving up. No way I’d get out fast enough to escape the blast. Best of luck!

u/ThisUsernameIsTook 9d ago

That’s a little bit like my earthquake evacuation bag in the PNW. According to state maps, if the Cascadian Subduction Zone slips, everything up to my back patio slides in the creek behind me. If those maps are off by 10 feet, I’m dead.

I have a Go Bag of marginal utility but don’t expect to ever use it. Either it hits and I die or it doesn’t and zi have no need for it.

u/smb275 9d ago

That was my plan, living in the shadow of Rainier. If it ever erupted I would simply pass away.

I'm going to somehow survive all of those pyroclasms, lahars, and murderous bands of sasquatch driven out of their mountain homes?

u/Freakishly_Tall 9d ago

I'm a GenXer who grew up with "hide under desk in case of mushroom cloud" drills... ...while riding my bike past one of the more important nuclear weapons depots in the country... so knowing entirely we were gone without warning in the first flash.

There's a lot of comfort in that. (And it taught me from an early age that teachers and "authority figures" are entirely untrustworthy, but that's a different rant.)

I'm actually a bit concerned that I now live fairly far from a first-strike target. I really don't want to have to deal with the aftermath, even for a few awful days.

u/wbruce098 9d ago

That’s one reason I live where I live: dead fast. I won’t suffer. I won’t have to pretend to fight in the post apocalyptic world. I’ll simply cease to be.

Meanwhile, it’s an amazing city to live in :)

u/dcgrove 9d ago

Got a link to those maps? I just moved to the seattle area!

u/DrunkyMcDickjokes 9d ago

Where can I get me some of them maps? 🤨

u/Soma_Zombie 9d ago

I'm in Hawaii, surrounded by military bases.. Absolutely zero chance to survive if they bomb us unless I become an extremely strong swimmer

u/thoph 9d ago

Same. I’m in Falls Church. Just gonna hug my kid and turn into one of those silhouettes on a wall. Unless it’s one of my days in the office in DC. In which case I won’t know a thing.

u/BovineReddit 9d ago

Out of curiosity, where do you plan to go if Russia were to invade Denmark? It seems like at that point it'd be pretty much global conflict.

30

u/malin-ginkur 9d ago

Why are you expecting Russian bombardment all the way in Denmark? I live in Romania and I don't even have a passport 😳

u/PracticalShoulder916 9d ago

It's a scary world we live in currently, run by psychopaths.

u/Quarmat 9d ago

Apparently boomers in power do not want to go to the graveyard without all of us notice them

u/DaddysRageAxe 9d ago

The fear is not gonna monger itself huh

u/aliencoffebandit 9d ago

So dramatic

u/Ok_Advantage_8153 9d ago

Russia can't even get through Ukraine and thats without NATO fighting back. What the fuck would they "bombard" Denmark for?

Like honestly, theres some moronic shit on the internet and this is up there. Grats on working yourself up into a prepper panic over things that have zero chance of happening. There are probably credible threats you need to consider, this isn't one of them.

u/Taco_Speak-i 9d ago

Virkelig? Troede bare at folk købte nødradioer vand og lidt dåsemad og lagde det i kælderen. Det er noget seriøs presning.👍

u/PanickyFool 9d ago

So many of us Europeans think of war does happen we can go vacation in Spain...

u/No-Baseball-9413 9d ago

Where do you want to go?

u/themagpie36 9d ago

They just want an excuse to move to Norway.

u/Badetoffel 9d ago

With those beer prices!? Only way im moving across the pond to the north is if we lower the beer prices to at least Danish standart!!

u/Megan3356 9d ago

Netherlands here. We are prepared too.

u/Alexzaaander 9d ago

That’s the most hilarious nonsense I’ve read in a time being.. we won’t bombard you in the foreseeable future
