US to station nuclear weapons in UK to counter threat from Russia. Old enough to remember how libs were saying Belarus was being colonized when Russia put nukes there. (www.telegraph.co.uk)

Gonna have to check it out, The Day After is another good depiction of what we could expect in case of a nuclear war.

Give yourself some time and space afterwards though. When I watched it, I didn’t get much sleep the night after

Yeah, it's pretty heavy stuff.

A little less realistic, as it starts as animation before slowly incorporating live-action footage as things get dire and more depressing, but When the Wind Blows is also a very good depiction of what happens to regular civilians during a nuclear war. Distressing and depressing film, but a good one.

We really need modern films like that to remind people what's at stake.
