This is a very interesting matter, but let's start with an answer - the United States will suffer huge and unbearable losses, leading to the collapse of the American federal system and the formation of several countries that even Mexico cannot compare. And Russia, although it will also suffer greatly, Russia will still exist and re-emerge in 3 50 years.
This is the core reason why the United States is trying its best to avoid nuclear war.
A nuclear war would cause most of the countries of the world to suffer great losses, and no earthlings would be immune. But the extent of the damage will vary widely from country to country.
This is determined by the economic, political, military, industrial, cultural and other aspects of each country. The United States is an extremely densely populated country, take a look at the population distribution map of the United States:
You'll find that the U.S. is populated by the occasional large cities on the east and west coasts and in the middle. Let's talk about a w-gentleman statistics: there are 326 cities with a population of more than 100,000 in the United States, 69 cities with a population of more than 300,000, and only 10 cities with a population of more than 1 million, and there are no cities with a population of more than 10 million. However, these 326 cities account for 29 percent of the total population of the United States16% share (97044945 people), and according to another data, these 326 cities represent only 0 percent of the total area of the United States83%, a total of only 779525 square kilometers.
This is a phenomenon caused by the economy and culture of the United States, and large cities are more likely to have opportunities, so a few large cities in the United States have crazy population absorption capacity. There are 10 U.S. cities with more than 1 million people, and 24513008 of these 10 cities still account for 7 percent of the U.S. population36%, and the area occupied by 10 cities is only 94097 square kilometers, that is to say, 01% of the area has 736% of Americans. And a large part of it is still the elite of the United States.
Can you understand where it will hit if Russia fires a nuclear bomb at the United States?
Why did the United States collapse under the blow of nuclear war?This is mainly because, sparsely populated places are agricultural areas in the United States.
In particular, the prologue and irrigated agricultural areas of the Midwest of the United States have little to do with the farmers in these places, and the big cities don't really have much to do with themselves, just the markets where they sell their produce. In fact, these areas are only farms and there is no deformed existence of rural areas, and thousands of acres of land will be connected into patches for unified cultivation and management.
The Americans who own and grow farms account for a very small proportion of the population, so they have little political voice, which leads to the fact that this group of people own most of the land and are kidnapped by the United States, when the United States suffers a nuclear strike, these farm areas often become the first to break away from the United States, after all, the honor and disgrace of the United States and their own relationship is not very large. They pay more attention to the international agricultural export market.
And after the nuclear war, although their agriculture will not be destroyed, the international market will no longer exist.
Relative to Russia, let's take a look at the same indicators:
Russia is more sparsely populated than the United States, although Russia's population is concentrated in 14 of the country, and there are only 12 cities with more than 1 million people, but the difference between Russia and the United States is that most of their cities are extremely large. Moscow, with more than 10 million Russians, has a population density of only 7,700 square kilometers, while New York has the same figure of 11,312. As a result, even a nuclear bomb of the same yield falling into New York and falling into Moscow would have a completely different effect.
In a city with more than 1 million people, similar to Volgograd, there are only about 1,000 people per square kilometer. For a nuclear bomb strike at the level of "annihilation", it can be said that there is really no place to use it. Dropping a nuclear bomb to kill and injure more than 300 people does not seem to be a particularly cost-effective feeling.
And Russia's own economy is actually much worse than that of the United States. But its own private economic interests have not been hijacked by politicians.
This form has advantages when it comes to war.
Clause. 1. Barefoot people are not afraid to wear shoes, especially when there are nuclear bombs. I believe everyone can understand this.
Second, people do not feel a big gap when they experience war, so they do not particularly resent war, especially when the economy is in a downturn, and even think that their own life predicament is caused by the other side.
Why is it said that Russia can re-emerge in 3 50 years after a nuclear war?This has to say Siberia. Fighting Siberia at the beginning of a nuclear war actually does not make much sense. With a population density of less than 1 person per square kilometer, throwing a nuclear bomb over is a lonely.
Siberia is sparsely populated, mainly due to climate problems, which is not very suitable for human habitation, but after a nuclear war, the temperature will be colder than the cities bombed by nuclear bombs. This is the greatest strategic depth of Russia in a nuclear war. Overcoming the cold, development is not too much of a problem.
Speaking of other countries, who raised the horrors of nuclear war?
United States. Why did he bring it up?Is it mainly worried about the destruction of the planet by nuclear war?Actually, no, but I am worried about someone else fighting a nuclear war with myself. Over the years, the United States has used various works to instill in the peoples of the world the concept that a nuclear war would destroy the entire human race. But you must know that the earth is very large, and the little nuclear ** that human reserve will not bring essential disasters to the earth at all. It's just that the Americans themselves can't afford a nuclear war, it's not that the earth can't afford it, and if you think about it clearly, you can understand why you yourself are afraid of the outbreak of a nuclear war - it's just that the Americans fell for it.
