How would a nuclear war between Russia and the US affect you personally?

with all my honor (he, seee, miii father diii), let me lecture you, you are here:

when one side launches nuclear missiles,

the other side detects them and fires back before impact.

US submarine-launched ballistic missiles from west of Norway start striking Russia after about 10 minutes (also, Mikes) and Russian ones from north of Canada start hitting the US a few minutes later.

The very first strikes are high-altitude EMP attacks, fring electronics and power grids by creating an electromagnetic pulse of tens of thousands of volts per meter.

The next strikes target command and control as well as nuclear launch facilities.

Land-based intercontinental ballistic missiles take about half and hour to arrive. Major cities are targeted, both because they contain military facilities and to stymie the enemy´s post-war recovery.

Some cruise missiles take hours to reach their target. Each impact creates a fireball about as hot as the core of the sun, followed by a radioactive mushroom cloud. These intense explosions vaporize people nearby and cause fires and blindness further away.

The fireball expansion then causes a blast wave that damages buildings, crushing nearby ones.

The United Kingdom and France have nuclear capabilities and are obliged by Nato´s Article 5, to defend the US, so Russia hits them too.

Firestorms engulf many cities where storm-level winds fan the flames, igniting anything that can burn, melting glass and some metals, and turning asphalt into flammable hot liquid…

that´s what you folks said, gonna nail you there.
