Analysis of World War Three Build-up for Concerned European Citizens


(What no other nuclear war blog is saying)

UK & Ireland Projected Nuclear War Targets (Detailed Map)

Synopsis: Alarmed at seeing mainstream media articles purporting to show "top ten nuclear targets in the UK"? Such materials are lightweight fluff compared to this.

Projected nuclear targets in UK & Ireland (OSINT)
  • Targeting criteria.
  • Counterforce: Primary & Secondary Targets, with detailed OSINT map.
  • Countervalue: Tertiary / crossover targets.

Annie Jacobsen's Errors & the 5 Worst Nuclear War Myths

Synopsis: Fatalism about the survivability of nuclear war is rampant, as are artefacts of Cold War anti-bomb propaganda, including nuclear winter theory. This article seeks to redress some commonly held, but utterly false, notions about nuclear war and highlights that it is survivable and that other nations are proceeding on the basis that it is. Myths refuted:

  • MYTH #1: Nuclear war is not survivable and everyone would die right away.
  • MYTH #2: The barrage would be over in a day or two.
  • MYTH #3: Nuclear war would “destroy the planet” / trigger nuclear winter.
  • MYTH #4: NATO still operates a policy of Launch on Warning (LoW).
  • MYTH #5: There could be no winner, therefore no nation would start WW3.

Billionaires, Governments and Whole Countries Bunkering Down

Synopsis: Nation states (in both the East and West) are, unlike the UK, engaged in frantic nuclear war bunkering measures. At the same time, billionaires are feverishing digging in and making their own preparations. So why aren't you?

Why Northern Ireland is a Good Nuclear War Retreat Locale

Synopsis: Northern Ireland has, in our assessment, some of the best retreat geography in all of the UK with respect to minimising the effects of radioactive fallout during the coming nuclear war with Russia. It also has other key attributes that make it an ideal locale to ride out the intervening storms. Key takeaways:

  • The SW region of Northern Ireland is a veritable "golden zone" in terms of avoiding fallout.
  • Crime rate is far lower than on the mainland UK.
  • It lacks the social problems of both the UK mainland the Republic of Ireland across the border.

7 Special Reasons Why Russia is NOT our Natural Ally

Synopsis: Western conservatives have been the target of arguably the most sophisticated psychological warfare operation known to mankind in the modern age, resulting in a hagiographic impression of Russian President-in-Perpetuity, Vladimir V. Putin. Tragically, this has blind-sided them not just to a mortal enemy (beyond simply our own rulers), but to how to interpret Russian moves on the geopolitical stage. Key points:

  • The enemy of my enemy is not automatically my friend.
  • Russia poses as a bastion of traditional conservativism but is really still an oppressive tyranny allied with other such regimes.
  • China and the rest of Russia's allies will not make major geopolitical moves out of lockstep with Russia, as agreed between them decades ago.
  • Russia is culturally alien to the West and does not think like we do, making its motives and rhetoric difficult to interpret.
  • Self-destruction is not just considered an acceptable outcome to Russia, but is academically accepted as a potential result of its actions.

7 Hidden Reasons Why the Present Path to WW3 is Irreversible

Synopsis: Many western commentators believe that Russia sees Ukraine as an end in itself and that there is accordingly scope for a negotiated settlement. Tragically, they are guilty of the same kind of near-sightedness that Neville Chamberlain's name shall forever be besmirched with, for Russia (like China) is on an irreversible path to an all-out nuclear war with the West. Just as bad, the West is also on the warpath. Key points:

  • Russia and China are now following the final stages of a path to war predicted by the defectors and prescribed in decades-old blueprints for final victory over the West.
  • Russia has been making longstanding psychological preparations for near-term nuclear war with the West.
  • Russia has been developing credible civil defence measures for its people (as has Sweden, Finland and Switzerland, but sadly not the UK, US, Canada et al).
  • Russia and China have been upgrading and expanding their militaries for decades and now the balance of nuclear power is tipped in their favour, which was always a key objective in their formula for attacking the West in a nuclear first strike.
  • Russia's economy has, like China's, been transitioning into a "war economy".
  • The West is also, but less blatantly, committed to a nuclear war with Russia, to settle once and for all who gets to dominate the planet.
  • Nuclear War is not imminent, but it is coming this later decade.

The Best Nuclear War Retreat Regions in Britain & Ireland

Highlands near Ballachulish

Synopsis: The UK is a target-rich environment in the context of nuclear war with Russia, but that point notwithstanding, there are some areas in it that are far better suited to lying low in than most of the country. Key points:

  • There is no guarantee of a perfect locale that meets everyone's criteria.
  • Many of the empty (i.e. mountainous) regions of the UK are downwind of key primary and secondary nuclear targets and are thus not ideal.
  • "West is best" is a generally correct maxim for minimising fallout impact.
  • It is still feasible to implement fallout sheltering in less than ideal areas.

Why Ireland’s Neutrality will not Spare it in the Coming WWIII

Map of nuclear war targets in Ireland

Synopsis: Ireland is sometimes spoken of by careless article-writers in the mainstream media as a utopia, along with New Zealand, in which nuclear war could be safely sat out. However, that is crassly naive. Key points:

  • Russia regards neutrality as a weak nation "playing possum" rather than a valid policy.
  • Ireland has critical ports and airports that could be seized by NATO in the event of a war in Europe, making those assets pre-emptive targets for Russian nuclear war planning.
  • Ireland is extremely vulnerable in that its ports and airports are almost all contained within its major urban areas.
  • The loss of life in Ireland during a nuclear war would be existential to the nation.

A Potential Framework for a Russian-Brokered Peace in the Middle East

Synopsis: How Russia is quietly positioning itself to broker peace in the Middle East.

  • Why regime-change in Iran will not happen.
  • Iran makes no plays without the green light from Moscow.
  • What a Russian-brokered peace treaty might look like.
  • World War Three implications of a Russian-brokered peace treaty.

Critical Assessment of the National Security Strategy 2025 (NSS 2025)

NSS 2025 cover image

Synopsis: A cynical but objective assessment of the UK's National Security Strategy 2025 (NSS 2025), highlighting the British government's detachment from the public sentiment, its disregard for civil defence planning (shelters for the public) and its commitment to progressively transitioning the UK from a peace-time state to a war-footing.

  • A second string to the UK’s deterrent is coming, enabling air-dropped tactical nuclear bombs.
  • Defence spending to reach 5% of GDP by 2035 (half a decade after WW3 will end!!!)
  • Mission impossible: conjuring stoicism out of a demoralised society.
  • Predictable silence on civil defence planning.
  • The laughable & contemptible.
  • Narrative-building for conscription + troop deployments to face Russian forces in eastern Europe within 3-4 years.
