We're not as close as people think. Russia knows better than anyone that if they fire a nuclear weapon the response will be complete obliteration or all major Russian cities. It's not worth it; they'd be better of persevering with a conventional war or negotiating a settlement.

Probably not but I think Russia has managed to give the impression that its threshold for using them might be lower than other countries. Or at least give me that impression. I remember a Russian diplomat a few years ago in the context of Syria maybe saying something on the lines of don't forget we're a nuclear state.

You'll starve the same as everyone else when the global temperature goes down.
And are there two g’s in Bugger Off?

Also it will be freezing. No sunlight. Lots of big Saffers to feast on

Just move to Bloemfontein. They're 5 years behind the rest of South Africa and South Africa is 10 years behind the rest of the world. So you'll have 15 years to prepare.

Simon's Town is a scrap yard nowadays, for expensive, rusty relics. A danger to shipping.

Having started dipping my toes back into the world of commuting and public transport I would welcome it. As fascinating as the conversation about bathroom mirrors was, I’m not sure it was something that the entire train needed to hear about in a one sided and loud phone conversation. A nuclear strike was something most of us on that train would have gotten behind.

:lol:

I was on a train back from Waterloo today, and I experienced the same. A loud phone conversation. I was praying … praying for the phone reception to die … or something to die … because she just did not stop talking !!!

5.30p Waterloo to p/mouth harbour??

It would appear that South Africa will not be affected by a nuclear holocaust. So I am good thanks. We will remember you lot fondly
I'm a Kiwi boet, not only are there no nukes aimed at us but we're also not sharing a continent with a billion Africans.
