London is ‘well-prepared’ if Russia launches nuclear attack, says Sadiq Khan

  1. There is no part of the world that can prepare for a nuclear war… It’s like an E.L.E dinosaur killer asteroid with a payload of at least 25,000 years of radiation for anything that survives to enjoy.

    EDIT: can’t spell thanks to my mutation.

  2. Well prepared….really …the best guidance would be to stand outside and face the bright light….at least it’d be quick and you won’t be reduced to your hair and teeth falling out and working all day clearing up dead people for a share of cooked rat.

  3. He gets a lot of unfair criticism (I wonder why) but how the fuck can he say that? Wtf does he know about nuclear war?!

  4. Why is this even seriously coming up? I’m still nowhere near putting “nuclear weapon deployment” on my 2022 bingo card.

  5. That’s the dumbest fucking thing I’ve heard in a long time. No one is prepared for a nuclear attack and they’re fooling themselves if they think they are.

  6. There is no defence against a nuclear attack.

    Counter ICBMs were designed and tested on very low tech missiles, and even then the success rates for interception were low.

    They would be hopeless against the sophisticated MERV ICBMs deployed by Russia, and the UK probably only has a very limited number of them deployed because they are very expensive, so they aren’t stopping several hundred warheads.

    If the nukes launch, anybody living within 20 miles of an urban area is getting instantly vaporised.

    Anybody within 50 miles is likely to be seriously injured by the shockwave and have a partially collapsed house.

    The <1% of the population not in one of the above categories will be dealing with radioactive dust, contaminated water and land, and nobody else left alive to replace those resources.

  7. Our biggest defence against a nuclear attack is that Russia’s most powerful oligarchs live in London and own billions of pounds of property here. However our government is letting them sell it up and leave the country instead of putting them all under house arrest.

  8. Blitz spirit will do it!!!!! Couldn’t cope with Covid-19, and that was a few grannies with breathing problems and not people with melted skim…..

  9. Well prepared as in we’d be fucked. If X-tinction rebellion can partially paralyse the capital, then the utter destruction of all infrastructure, where millions are killed/injured including the emergency services would probably do a tad more. I’ll just hope I’m near the blast sight so I’m vaporised in the opening second

  10. Khan also said that there would be no tube strikes whilst he was Mayor. Khan says a lot of things, mostly it’s just noise.

  11. London is safe. It would be like the Russians setting fire to their own garage while their rollers and lambos are still parked there.
