@lothartheterrible Thank you for moderating this comment section and for uploading the movie. What is to become of us all, if at very least, certain people cannot agree to respectfully disagree in a little comment section on YouTube?

@koreamy I have to disagree; Threads is actually the more realistic of the two, in my opinion. However, both films achieved their respective goals of frightening the bejesus out of people on both sides of the Atlantic and making many realize that nuclear warfare is about as idiotic a pissing match as could ever occur; what is the point in a war that cannot be won?

@lothartheterrible - IMO they were both pretty realistic. In both missiles are launched, millions are killed and infrastructure is destroyed and things we take for granted day to day are all gone. Then immediately after people try to do what they can to survive in both movies, but society degrades. Then TDA only goes a couple days after the exchange and Threads something like 13 years after. TDA did scary the piss out of me, threads showed me it is better to be vaporized.

@MegaSye Don't even need love, just open mindedness and tolerance. We can't even achieve that in our own country.

@Keizerdraak You bring a great point, regardless of nukes, our interdependency on more and more technology could prove devastating should that infrastructure be destroyed. Via natural or man made cause.

@electrogeek77 it is a spiritual knowing, not a mental one. We can know everything within once we allow the mind to rest.

...what?

@MegaSye But it would be dangerous to not be prepared to defend ourselves. Luckily, the defense industry is moving towards equipment and methods that are non-lethal.

@Keizerdraak AT the height of the cold war it was estimates that there was enough muke firepower to destroy the Earth 5 times over.

@Keizerdraak The fallout will be spread by wind patterns, if you look at the FEMA map for fallout, fallout is distributed over about half the land area of the US, the worst of it in the mid west. I would guess there would still be enough agricultural land to support the remaining population for the next few years. I'm not sure how long it takes for irradiated land to recover though.
