    • If a nuclear blast occurs with no
    warning or too little time to get out
    of the area—


    » Shelter-in-place—Take cover
    immediately as far below ground
    as possible. Any protection is
    better than none at all. The more
    distance from the detonation, the
    more intervening shielding, and
    the less time spent in radioactive
    areas, the better.

    » Take your emergency kit, if possible.

    » To keep out radioactive dust,
    close doors, windows, and vents
    and turn off ventilation systems.
    These actions are typically called
    "sheltering-in-place."

    » Stay put and use radio, TV, or the
    Internet to get official information and instructions.

    • If you are caught outside by a
    nuclear blast—


    » The time it takes the heat and
    shock waves to arrive depends on
    your distance from the detonation. Take cover behind anything
    that might offer protection from
    the blast, lie flat on the ground,
    and cover your head and hands.
    Use any available cloth as a
    breathing filter.

    » Don't look at the flash or fireball—they can blind you.

    » No matter how far you are from
    the blast site, take shelter from
    fallout as soon as you can, upwind if possible.

    » Before entering shelter, dust off,
    keeping your mouth and nose
    covered. As soon as possible,
    shed contaminated clothing and
    wash your hair and skin.

    If you are inside, keep doors and windows shut, you don't want the dust (radioactive) coming in.

    I've heard that the European NATO members have been increasing their defense spending since 2014,
    when they agreed to reach a 2% of GDP target by 2024. (Not saying I don't want them to do more.)

    The current agreed target for European Nato members is 2% of GDP on defence by 2024.

    President Trump had urged the other countries in the alliance to increase that to 4% of GDP.

    In 2020, 10 Nato countries (in addition to the US) reached or exceeded the 2% target - two more than in 2019 including for the first time, France and Norway.

    The rest (including Germany, Italy and Spain) spent below that in 2020, even though they've all increased their spending as a percentage of GDP since 2014 (when the 2% target was agreed).

    Germany indicated in 2019 that it wouldn't reach the 2% target until 2031.

    Nato members also pledged that by 2024 at least 20% of their defence expenditure should go on acquiring and developing equipment.

    On this measure, most Nato members in 2020 spent at least that proportion or more on equipment, although Germany and Canada still spent less than 20%.

    And last year, European Nato members and Canada increased their major equipment expenditure by an average of more than 11% on the amount spent in 2019.

    Yes, that is precisely what they are doing; most Americans understand this.

    Putin wants to restore Russian control over key pieces of the Soviet Empire. If the world lets Putin get away with it, without any consequences, you can be sure that Xi will be emboldened to take action in Taiwan. Fortunately, it looks like the world is not going to let Putin get away with it.
