US government buys $290 million in anti-radiation drugs as Biden warns of nuclear fears
« on: Today at 09:25:05 AM »

The U.S. government is taking preparatory steps in the event diplomacy fails. On Tuesday, the Department of Health and Human Services announced that it was purchasing a supply of the drug Nplate, which has been FDA-approved to "treat blood cell injuries that accompany acute radiation syndrome in adult and pediatric patients."

Acute radiation syndrome occurs when a person's "entire body is exposed to a high dose of penetrating radiation" — the kind resulting from a nuclear explosion or a dirty bomb. Nplate serves to reduce radiation-induced bleeding by stimulating the body's production of platelets. The drug can reportedly be used in both adults and children.

We have a fall-out shelter lol
My uncle let me play in it when I was uumm 10isf,,
He showed me the toilet thing and all the stuff like that,,,
I shut it up when we had our children..
Don't know why I did that I just did..
I'm going to tell the wife we need to open it up and check it out
and possibly ready it..
This is crazy shit, I can't believe I'm going to open it up..
I doubt it would actually protect us but then again dunno..
She might want to keep it closed up I'd be ok with that.
I never checked it out for the internet etc..

Nuclear 'Armageddon' threat back for first time since Cold War.

US President Joe Biden said Thursday the world risks nuclear "Armageddon" for the first time since the
Cold War and that he is trying to find Russian President Vladimir Putin's "off-ramp" in the Ukraine conflict.

"We have not faced the prospect of Armageddon since Kennedy and the Cuban missile crisis" in 1962, Biden said at a Democratic party fundraising event in New York.

Putin is "not joking" when he threatens to use nuclear weapons to pursue his invasion of Ukraine, Biden said.

Biden made his unusually strong comments about the risks created by Putin's nuclear threats while speaking to party supporters at an event hosted in the Manhattan home of James Murdoch, son of newspaper mogul Rupert Murdoch.

Referring to the nuclear standoff triggered by the Soviet Union stationing missiles in Cuba, within easy range of the United States, Biden said that for the "first time since the Cuban missile crisis, we have a direct threat from the use of nuclear weapons if in fact things continue down the path they are going."

Putin has made thinly veiled threats to use nuclear weapons if he feels he has run out of options in his bid to seize swaths of Ukrainian territory in the face of stiff resistance by Western-back Kyiv.

Experts say these would most likely be relatively small, tactical strikes. But Biden warned that a tactical strike in a limited area would still risk triggering a wider conflagration.

"We've got a guy I know fairly well," Biden said. Putin's "not joking when he talks about potential use of tactical nuclear weapons or biological or chemical weapons, because his military is, you might say, significantly underperforming."

However, "I don't think there's any such thing as the ability to easily (use) a tactical nuclear weapon and not end up with Armageddon," Biden said.

"I'm trying to figure out what is Putin's off-ramp," Biden said. "Where does he find a way out? Where does he find himself in a position that he does not, not only lose face, but lose significant power within Russia?"

The asshole needs to find his own "off ramp" .. He's the one that's gotten us on the verge of war .. He needs to shut his fukkin mouth and stop threatening world leaders... Especially those with nukes... All while he runs his own country into the ground

Not to mention wasting $290 million for anti-radiation drugs as Biden warned of his nuclear fears.

One well placed bomb into the geothermal area of Yellowstone would wipe out most of the United States' agriculture, wild life, forests, farming, meat production, humans.

Two small submarine based atomic bombs directed at Washington, DC and New York City would cripple the entire world's economy, and leave the rest of the U.S. ripe for an easy takeover.

No one one with any sense would want to live in either scenario.

I'm sure it's been thouroly tested and FDA approved...pffff .. It's not like anyone would be alive to complain it doesn't work.. As if some kinda shots or pills will protect us from a NUCLEAR BOMB ... Prolly just more of the unused covid vaccine .. Who would know? .. Just a few more hundred million uselessly spent ... Any word on boosters for that yet? .. What's Faucci saying?...heh...SMH

What a coincidence, three weeks to the election and suddenly nuclear Armageddon is breathing down our necks.

One final ramp-up of the fear porn in the desperate hope that someone might be scared into voting democrat.

I doubt it will accomplish much.
