THE ERA OF TRUMP

[C-Mag]

I spent seven years in a North Vietnamese prison camp from which I escaped. Ten years later, the government asked me to go back there and look for more POWs being held illegally by the communists. I later launched a mission with some old buddies deep into the Vietnamese jungle to take on a rogue general holding Americans captive. Don't tell me what I haven't been through.

I can top that.
I survived frat house rush week at a University in the mid 80s.

Dark days my friends.......dark days.
I don't talk about it much.

Pffft.

Me, and a bunch of my operator buddies were brought out of retirement by Uncle Sam and flown into the South American jungle in order to rescue some politicians.

Then, some invisible force started picking off my buddies one by one... like they were being hunted.

Turns out, godamn creature from another world that I had to defeat with nothing but traps and a bow I crafted by hand, Had to outrun a nuclear blast to save my ass on that one.

You live outside Boston, dude. If you get caught up in an EMP strike, you are pretty much dead.

I live over 30 miles out of Boston, I'd be fine.

LOL, not really. That is much too close. You ideally want to be several hundred miles away from a city like that. What exactly do you think all those dindus are going to do when the lights go out??

You realize I live in the middle of a valley right? Your theory also falls short...

Even an Airburst version would not even touch where I live... that being said, we'd feel it, but it doesn't mean squat. The fact is that the only nuke that could touch us (airburst or not) would be a Tzar bomb... and I don't know about you but I don't see Boston being that important to take out everything in nearly a 40-mile range.

The only thing we'd have to worry about would be the possible fallout, and that is if the wind is coming directly at us, otherwise nope.

Did I mention I invaded Vietnam two more times to rescue more POWs?

[DBTrek]

Alright, now this story is beginning to sound ludicrous.

The RDS-220 was never deployed as an operational warhead, the biggest warhead the Soviets ever deployed was only half as big, mind you, RDS-220; third degree burns at 60+ miles, it had quite the effects radius indeed, 40 miles was still well inside the kill zone.

The Soviet engineers watching the test, they reported feeling the thermal effects, from 170 miles away.

The RDS-220 is the Tzar bomb, I've already accounted for that.

So your response is (You didn't have it as bad as them) Go fuck off... you asked, I told you. Also what about the tornadoes, the sinkhole, being shot at and stabbed? Oh wait, you can't respond to those because you have nothing to be snide about...wait you do.

At least you didn't die from them!

Pathetic.

No, goofball. The after-effects of a major hurricane are more like an EMP strike or bombing. There is no infrastructure, no water, no stores open, nowhere to get food, no power, no ATMs, no credit cards. Cash or fuck off.

It’s not an “opportunity”, unless you’ve been hoarding mass amounts of water, and start selling it.

Only if you didn't prepare. That's the difference between you and I... and EMP hits I'll be alive and OK for a few months while I get ready for everything else down the road. You, on the other hand, will be starting from square one.

I got seeds, jarred food, a cellar full of equipment, and things to make it easier to deal with. (EMP protected), as well as radiation, etc... so no, it matters on the person and group.

Those who are prepared will know how to deal with things, those that won't... well we see it in PR and most of the US today.

1. you're talking to the wrong dude about preparedness.

2. we weren't talking about you. We were talking about what Puerto Rico is going through, and your bullshit dismissal of societal collapse.

I'm not dismissing shit, what I am dismissing is that this is a natural catastrophe, if anything it's manmade because they weren't prepared.
