Course they will be nuked and there will be forest firestorms the human civilization has never seen. The same will happen in America.
Did you see my calculations above? A single 20 Mt explosion will burn out up to 4486 square km directly. The further spreading of fire is not even counted... |
but it is speculation or else there would be proof supporting it, which there is not. Yellowstone eruption is far far different than a nuclear outbreak.
I'm not saying there won't be a nuclear winter, I'm positing that it's unknown. certainly there would be firestorms, enough to create a global nuclear winter is not understood.
