My parents always called it "anden verdenkrig" (second World War). They 
were born 1919 and 1924.

I get the impression that we are seeing a re-run of 1936 right now. 

German re-armament and all that. 

And the "guns before butter" rhetoric of many politicians.

Both the Russia-Ukraine and US/Israel-Iran wars seem to be hotting up.
The first nuke to be used will probably mark the point at which one or
other of them morphs into WW 3.

If you really think so, do you regret leaving South Africa?  People
are more likely to survive a nuclear war there than in the UK.

I'm still here. 

Though we do have quarrelsome and incompetent politicians, they seem
to be less inclined to participate in arms races than those of Europe
and the UK.

Yes. My wife thought it important that our daughter should have a Chilean
passport for just that reason.

If World War III breaks out, we'd probably only have a few minutes
notice.  Not nearly enough time to flee to Chile.

Moving to Chile might just delay being enveloped in the nuclear shroud, 
cf. Shute's 'On the Beach' (Morse the pity).

In view of the instability and unpredictability and undiluted malice
of the politicians of some countries that have nuclear weapons, and
the "guns before butter" policies of others, the film of "On the
Beach", and perhaps "Dr Strangelove, Or How I learned to Stop Worrying
and love the Bomb" could do with a remake.

Well, that might have an effect - though remakes are rarely a patch on 
the original, and Films With A Message are rarely appealing. The real 
problem, though, is a few bellicose leaders at the head of powerful 
rogue states, notably Putin and Trump, and I can't see them changing.

The Americans must have been a bunch of /wingnuts/ to elect Trump. I 
understand, though, that he did say, "I’m going to stop wars,"¹ so 
perhaps they believed him² and didn't expect him now to be giving it 
laldy in the Middle East.


¹<https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jun/08/what-trump-actually-said-no-war-promise>
²I know, I know; they knew him and should surely have known better.

You failed to mention Netanyahu and Macron. 

It's probably a bit too soon to tell if Burnham will be as bellicose
as Starmer. 

There are probably a few more who are demanding more money for killing
people, and saying there's not enough for healing the sick, or
improving the lives of people generally.

So I did. I try to ignore the Middle East, and Macron will soon be gone, 
to be replaced perhaps by Le Pen or Mélenchon (qui est un con).

Apparently Burnham was focused on buses in Manchester - and still is, 
since he's just capped fares in England.

Anyway, he's already lost me. He's promising radical change, which I 
think calls for an election and a fresh mandate. It seems he disagrees.

I remember the old slogan "Jobs not bombs!" It was misconceived. Bombs 
are jobs, a lot of jobs, and money circulating in the economy.

That wasn't just about a nuclear war, but about a doomsday device,
a "salted" bomb.

It's been pointed out that there's no limit to how large a nuclear
bomb can be made.  If it's extremely large, it won't be deliverable.
But it wouldn't need to be, as it could work its magic if detonated
anywhere on Earth.

However, mixing of air north and south of the equator tends to be
slow.  So people on the other side would have plenty of time to build
long-term shelters.

But of course they'd have to already be there.  Simply having a
passport might not give enough notice.  Especially if the doomsday
device goes off by accident.

That's an interesting point.

"The circulation pattern quarantines the Northern and Southern 
Hemispheres, keeping the pollutant-laden northern air dirty and the 
southern air clean. / There is some exchange between the two, but the 
process takes a year or two, versus about a week for air to circulate 
within a hemisphere" -

I find it hard to believe that even a few people could survive in 
bunkers and mineshafts for years - let alone hundreds of millions of 
people. This is far beyond Anderson shelters and sleeping on platforms 
in the Tube. Where would their clean food and water come from? Their 
power? Where would their waste go? Wouldn't they suffer psychological 
problems "beyond the dreams of analysts"?…

I've visited mines and bunkers. Living in them permanently would be very 
bleak.

The premiss of "On the Beach" was that it would take several years for
the fallout to reach Australia -- enough time for a submarine to go on
an exploratory voyage to see if there were any survivors in the
northern hemisphere. 

Another similar dystopian novel, on the other hand -- Down to a
Sunless Sea -- suggested that a refugee plane that headed to
Antarctica was overtaken by radioactive fallout soon after arriving
there. 

Though the book was published more than 45 years ago, the scenario
seems more likely than ever in current circumstances:

I've read another novel with a bleaker scenario. It might have been
Harry Harrison's "War with the Robots". In that war both sides retreated
underground, and left their AIs to manage the war. Eventually both sides
wanted to surrender, but the AIs wouldn't let them contact each other,
and had stopped taking orders from humans.

It was like having a military whose main reason for existence would be
undermined if the war stopped.
