To be scared

Was with the guy I am seeing the other day and we were talking about random things and got onto the conversation of the war. He said ‘it’s very likely nuclear weapons will be used and we will be fucked, you’ll be given a 15 minute warning and have to just bend down and cover your face’ aibu to be scared now?

I thought we were meant to hide under the stairs or in the airing cupboard. Or is it the bath ?

I’d be no good in a 4 minute warning (clearly)
Honestly op. It’s very unlikely to happen

however what should happen is that you ditch this man. - he’s a Pratt

In the 80s the nuclear war videos suggested leaning a mattress against a wall and going behind that. I'd never get my mattress off my bed and leant up in 4 minutes! Not that we have a warning system any more anyway.

Don’t be ridiculous! He’s talking out of his ass. We won’t get a 15 min warning.

Everyone knows you need to take internal doors off and get a bucket with a lid 🙄
The only reason to bend over is kiss your arse goodbye if you're too close to impact.

Why not do your own research over relying on what others tell you

DoYouRememberDiedreBarlow · 28/09/2022 18:37

Wow he sounds a catch and a charmer. Confused

Putin is a megalomanic, he 'aint gonna nuke himself into oblivion. God Bless Mutually assured destruction

Bend down and cover your face. Well at least I'll die inhaling the scent of my nice hand sanitiser.

He is talking out of his backside op.

I think it's weird what with all the historical outrage banded about nowadays, that Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bombings ever get a look in. Seeing the devastation there bending down and covering the face wouldn't have helped much.

The average nuclear bomb is several thousand times stronger those dropped on Japan too. Sleep well!

That said your boyfriend sounds an opinionated pub bore.

I always understood that you would want to be taken out immediately as it’s quick and painless - the alternative is truly hell on earth.

He doesn’t sound much of a catch op to be fair.

Kissingfrogs25 · 28/09/2022 18:45

Is this his idea of sweet nothings?

What an idiot he is. He's just trying to scare you and pretend he knows what's going on while you don't. Dump him.

I agree with this. He sounds unpleasant.

Stop taking drugs.

Bend down and cover your face is bees, not nukes. Ignore him.

😂

dump the dimwit

YABU dating this imbecile.

The idea that any country could fight and win a nuclear war is deranged.
