I fear that nuclear war could be happening soon…

Global tensions seem to be rising, and superpowers are allowed to be more and more reckless. It feels like the third world war is imminent, a nuclear war which would end everything.

I am so scared… I am so paralyzed to do anything now. Am I overreacting? Also, what should I be doing?

    Buy potassium iodide tablets. If it happens and it’s too close, you won’t even know. If it isn’t too close, take the pills and become a wasteland raider.

    Otherwise just live your life because nothing you do really matters concerning nuclear war. That’s like worrying about an asteroid impact.

        Frankly it doesn’t matter because if you’re close enough to need anti radiation meds, the lack of food, water, power, and shelter will be a much more pressing issue. The gist of my comment was supposed to be “go buy these pills for peace of mind because that’s about the only ‘preperation’ you can do for nuclear war. Really you should just relax and live your life”.
