Other papers in this volume have touched on many of the direct effects of a limited nuclear war. In order to avoid repetition we will briefly describe the scenario which is used as a point of departure for the issues raised in this paper. The following calculations are based on the Federal Emergency Management Agency's CRP-2B scenario which assumes that the United States is exposed to 6,559 megatons (Mt) of nuclear explosives targeted primarily at military installations and 250 centers of population exceeding 50,000.
P - In the absence of warning and any subsequent evacuation, about 125 million people would be caught within the 2-psi circles (geographic areas which sustain a blast overpressure of 2 pounds per square inch); nearly 58 million would be inside the 15-psi region (Haaland et al., 1976; p. 20).

The United States and Russia should both promise never to use nuclear weapons first.

Could the Russian invasion of Ukraine escalate to nuclear war? It’s unlikely but not impossible. That should terrify us.
The world is closer to nuclear combat now than it has been at any other time in the last half-century. Both Russia and the United States have developed tactical nuclear weapons designed for use on battlefields. Some of them are one-third as powerful as the atomic bombs with which the United States incinerated the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945.
Soon after Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered his army to invade Ukraine last month, he took the wildly irresponsible step of publicly announcing that he was placing his nation’s nuclear forces on “high combat alert.” He has made clear that he considers a hostile Ukraine to be a mortal threat to his country. If his forces do not quickly win this war, and especially if other countries come to Ukraine’s aid, he may be tempted to use his full arsenal — including nuclear weapons. I doubt he would do it, but I also doubted he would invade Ukraine in the first place.
President Biden deserves credit for not replying to Putin’s nuclear threats with counterthreats. Yet Americans are now caught in a spiral of emotion even more intense than the anti-Saddam frenzy that preceded our invasion of Iraq. Relentless images of Russian bombing and suffering Ukrainians provoke outrage and demands for punishing revenge. That can lead us to lose sight of the terrible stakes. By arming Ukraine and seeking to smack Russia, we may be sleepwalking toward the ultimate nightmare.
Using nuclear weapons in Ukraine would break a longstanding taboo and turn Putin into the most despised world leader since Hitler. More important, the situation could quickly escalate. When the Pentagon conducts “war games” based on this possibility, the result is always the same. In these simulations, one side uses a battlefield nuclear weapon, the other side responds in kind, and soon both countries’ cities are in ashes.
“It escalates; it doesn’t stop,” says Joseph Cirincione, a fellow at the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, in Washington, who is a leading student of nuclear weaponry. “Each side thinks their use will be decisive. There’s no way to avoid these risks. And if Putin feels he’s losing, the risk increases. Russia’s doctrine of ‘escalate to de-escalate’ is specifically designed for these situations. It says that if Russia is losing, they will use nuclear weapons first. The military believes in this doctrine, which means that if Putin gives the order, they will likely obey.”
Russia’s arsenal of battlefield nuclear weapons makes the Ukraine crisis uniquely dangerous. The firing of a single nuclear-tipped rocket — to destroy a Ukrainian town, to wipe out an enemy combat formation, or even simply as a demonstration — might well set off quick and disastrous reactions.
The Western response to this invasion has been strong and nearly unanimous. Some of it is symbolic virtue signaling that borders on silliness. Russian conductors have been fired from the Munich Philharmonic and La Scala in Milan after refusing to condemn the invasion, and the International Cat Federation has banned Russian cats from competition. Other reactions, however, are deadly serious and could affect global politics for decades.
Harsh economic sanctions on Russia will reshape life in what until last month seemed to be emerging as a stable and prosperous globalized society. Major oil companies have pulled out of Russia despite its position as one of the world’s leading oil producers. Germany is sharply increasing its defense budget. Finland and Sweden are considering applying for NATO membership. Switzerland broke with its longstanding policy of neutrality to adopt the European Union’s potent sanctions against Russia. Each of these steps may be seen as reasonable. Together they could give Putin the sense that he is being forced into a corner and has no choice but to use his ultimate weapon.
In 2008, four ancient veterans of geopolitical conflict — Henry Kissinger, George Shultz, Sam Nunn, and Wiliam Perry — warned that the steps the world was taking to address the threat of nuclear war were “not adequate to the danger.” The danger has increased since then. “The goal of a world free of nuclear weapons is like the top of a very tall mountain,” the four statesmen wrote, drawing on more than a century of combined experience in dealing with nuclear security. “But the risks from continuing to go down the mountain or standing pat are too real to ignore.” Yet we do ignore them. More Americans seem afraid of taking the COVID vaccine than are afraid of nuclear war.
Both Russian and American military planners have placed nuclear combat on their list of possible tools in wartime. It’s right there on the “threat continuum .. https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.defense.gov/News/News-Stories/Article/Article/2866963/concept-of-integrated-deterrence-will-be-key-to-national-defense-strategy-dod-o/__;!!BspMT6SJLSDJ!entk6orrzzDOWxMs9abpRZjqW9tpVDouguvDF5zu2oc6Wa3iFF6mgObLf1yZjYsNkPA$ ” after covert action, sanctions, cyberattacks and conventional war — as if it’s simply another step up the coercive ladder. Until we remove that step, the danger of holocaust will hang over our planet.
Nuclear war is beyond our lived experience and even our imagination. The prospect seems distant and improbable. It isn’t. One way to lessen the immediate danger would be for the United States and NATO to declare unequivocally that we will never use nuclear weapons in Ukraine and ask Russia to pledge the same. Then, if we emerge from this crisis alive, all nuclear powers should devote themselves urgently to assuring that we never reach such a dangerous threshold again.
The responsibility lies mainly with Russia and the United States, which have more than 90 percent of the world’s nuclear weapons. If these two countries could assure each other that neither would ever be the first to use those weapons, the world would instantly become far safer.

Philippe Lazzarini, UNRWA’s commissioner general, said on social media on Monday that Israeli authorities had blocked him from making a visit that was “supposed to coordinate & improve the humanitarian response.” UNRWA, formally the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, is the largest aid group on the ground in Gaza and a critical lifeline for more than 2.2 million people struggling to survive under a near-total Israeli siege.

Conclusion
Although certain parameters of radiological MS disease activity were significantly reduced by vitamin D supplementation as shown in randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trials, the evidence accumulated so far is not sufficient to allow drawing a definite conclusion on the effects of vitamin D supplementation on clinical parameters. The VIDAMS trial may provide further insights as it aims to investigate vitamin D supplementation in the yet largest (N = 172) prospectively randomized MS patient population followed up over =96 weeks (134). In addition, basic scientific research may increase our knowledge about the effects of vitamin D on the immune system. Considering the interactions between vitamin D and glucocorticosteroids, this knowledge may provide us with new therapeutic strategies for vitamin D administration in MS.

Putin’s War in Ukraine Is a Watershed. Time for America to Get Real.
"Chomsky: Let’s Focus on Preventing Nuclear War, Rather Than Debating “Just War
[...]
Mr. Putin’s invasion of Ukraine should provoke moral outrage in all of us, and, at least in principle, it warrants his removal from office. But Mr. Putin could well remain the leader of a major power into the next decade, and Washington will need to deal with him.
This friction between lofty goals and realpolitik is nothing new. The United States has since the founding era been an idealist power operating in a realist world — and has on balance succeeded in bending the arc of history toward justice. But geopolitical exigency at times takes precedence over ideals, with America playing power politics when it needs to.
During the Cold War, Washington promoted stability by tolerating a Soviet sphere of influence and cozying up to unsavory regimes willing to fight Communism. In contrast, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, America operated under conditions of geopolitical slack; great-power rivalry was muted, enabling Washington to put front and center its effort to promote democracy and expand a liberal, rules-based international order.
What, then, is the path forward? The war in Ukraine now confronts the United States with the need to tilt back toward the practice of realpolitik. Washington’s commitment to keeping NATO’s doors open to Ukraine was a laudable and principled stand against an autocratic Russia. Yet America’s idealist cause has run headlong into Russian tanks; Washington’s effort to do right by Ukraine has culminated in Russia’s ruthless effort to put the country back under Moscow’s sway.
Mr. Putin has just sent history into reverse. The United States should seek to foil and punish Moscow’s aggression, but Washington also needs to be pragmatic to navigate a world that, even if more unruly, is also irreversibly interdependent.
The Gap Between Means and Ends
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has exposed a gap between America’s ideological aspirations and geopolitical realities that has been widening since the 1990s. During the heady decade after the end of the Cold War, Washington was confident that the triumph of American power and purpose cleared the way for the spread of democracy. A primary instrument for doing so was the enlargement of NATO.
But from early on, the American foreign policy establishment allowed principle to obscure the geopolitical downsides of NATO enlargement. Yes, NATO membership should be open to all countries that qualify, and all nations should be able to exercise their sovereign right to choose their alignments as they see fit. But geography and geopolitics still matter; major powers, regardless of their ideological bent, don’t like it when other major powers stray into their neighborhoods.
It’s true that Moscow’s dismay at the prospect of Ukraine’s membership in NATO most likely is fed in part by nostalgia for the geopolitical heft of the Soviet days, Mr. Putin’s paranoia about a “color revolution” arising in Russia, and mystical delusions about unbreakable civilizational links between Russia and Ukraine. But it is also true that the West erred in dismissing Russia’s legitimate security concerns about NATO setting up shop on the other side of its 1,000-mile-plus border with Ukraine.
All major powers desire strategic breathing room — which is precisely why Russia has objected to NATO’s eastern expansion since the end of the Cold War. NATO may be a defensive alliance, but it brings to bear aggregate military power that Russia understandably does not want parked near its territory.

“Because they thought that they had won the Cold War and could dictate all the terms as Russia was 'beaten'. They were high on the euphoria of a perceived victory rather than a massive opportunity for peace and security,” says Gregory Simons, an associate professor at the Institute for Russian and Eurasian Studies at Uppsala University.
“They did not regard Russia as an equal and probably thought to use the idea of membership as a means of compliance. Like the EU has done to Turkey for years,” Simons tells TRT World.

But other experts believe that if Russia is not a NATO member, it is not the fault of the Western alliance. “Yes. In the 1990s, Russia and NATO discussed whether or not Russia might want to become a member of NATO.

MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS & COIMBRA PROTOCOL
I have Multiple Sclerosis
Almost two years ago I started processing the Coimbra protocol. I haven't had any new pushes since, no new lesions have occurred, and the ones I already had have shrunk.
The symptoms and effects I had, like vision and walking impaired, have disappeared.
Before protocol, I had conventional treatment. During this time, countless new lessons emerged. One bad symptom after another. I was treated by a doctor who allegedly was a super specialist in Multiple Sclerosis.
I spoke to her about the Coimbra protocol and she just swore at me. During the consultation she told me that unfortunately I need to be strong and adapt, and that I would probably end up without eyesight or even mobility.
Decided to visit a Coimbra protocol physician. I stopped taking conventional treatments. I've been leading a completely normal life ever since. I only know that I have this disease when I have to go for tests.
It's another life, a miracle!
I am very thankful to the doctors of Coimbra protocol. If my story can help at least one person, I'm happy because with the diagnosis I received, conventional treatment and advancing Multiple Sclerosis, I felt completely lost and hopeless.

As much as shittypants is fighting every penny, he might have to tap his son-in-law or directly pukey or orbeanbag for cash. Does he even have any markers with these people any more?
Wouldn't it be amazing that he has to put up maralooney and Carroll gets it on repossession or whatever ruling it is? It seems as time goes on his better option is to just flee.
yes, me too but the SC's argument against state v. dotard doesn't even nearly resemble what they tossed today. And yes AZ guy served time but that shouldn't make a damn bit of difference in the eyes of the law.
Not that it's surprising that shittypants is screaming he can't make the 445 million bond for appeal and he and his lawyers claim to be hitting up tons of people and banks and such. But, could it be lies as well?
Is there any way to fact check what he says and what his lawyers are allegedly doing.
Isn't it true if you want to look like you can't do something, one puts up reasons why it can't be done, true or not.
So the question is, will all his bullshit be fact checked. And if there are really names and more than a few say they were not contacted by shittypants or his team, what would that infer?
yes, nobody wants a war but sometimes we need to put our foot down.
No, really... I've been pissing on that building for at least that many years and even the homeless folks who live down there call me crazy. I always add fresh mash to the barrel and I'm sure I'm not the only one.. Please don't be confused. I usually bring sandwiches before I pee..
Yeah, go ahead and lie to yourself old timer.
You outed yourself here years ago.
You don't see Biden supporters doing shit like that. I'm sorry. Trump supporters have some serious issues.
I hope I go out like that. No suffering and just lights out.. I care a lot for others though, so I'm not really sure. If they survive while I'm gone, will they still bitch about the woke democrats?
Wow — so many of these pictures you like— bet you get a thrill looking at them — me not so much
The supreme court even divides itself on rulings between state and federal. Just look at the ruling that came down today that said dude couldn't be on the ballot because he is an insurrectionist.
It's consistent with their Colorado decision.
I think the guy in Arizona was actually charged and convicted too, wasn't he? Either way, it was a state matter. I thought the Colorado case was problematic from the beginning.
And that is one other reason the US deterrence response to Putin has not been as successful as some hoped at the time. The American people don't want American troops on the ground in war. Nor do Europeans want their people on the ground in an overseas war. That's one reason the West dropped Afghanistan. And that's one of the reasons successive American presidents including Trump and Biden have not been more forceful against Putin. I know you don't want Trump elected again. If Biden took America into war with Russia Trump's chances of being elected again would rise dramatically, i think.
That's kind of funny coming from an old punk who doesn't even want to send bullets to Ukraine.
We were literally wiping the Russian armed forces off the map without committing a single unit to the fight, before you Putin felating garbage people started pulling strings for the Russians.
Get back to your Donald Trump homoerotica and shut up.
Well, I wouldn't be so sure of infrastructure as opposed to the people that run them. I really don't think that armageddon is anywhere near at this point, but again, I've been wrong before and I'll be baking in my own broth.
I think what should concern us more is on our home soil but that really doesn't have to do much with the feds. It's the states that have control. The supreme court even divides itself on rulings between state and federal. Just look at the ruling that came down today that said dude couldn't be on the ballot because he is an insurrectionist.
Now last week was an entirely different story for them.
It's pretty much up to us as to were we want to go. Some might agree and some might not but we're all looking for the same outcome, peace and prosperity. I don't want to really fry in my lawnchair but that would be a fitting outcome for me as I watch the wheels spin.. Putin has most likely killed anyone who really knows how to fire those kind of weapons, we haven't.. big plus one.
The free world is threatened by AH putin with nukes -- all of us -- should we not have the balls to remind him he is surrounded by our nuclear subs, targeted by missiles in silos -- then we better start learning russian -- we have lost ww3 w/o a fight -- tell him to draw when ready or shut up
