Princeton Simulation: Nuclear Conflict Erupts — 34 Million Lives Lost in Just Hours - video Dailymotion

Buzzline

A disturbing simulation from Princeton University known as Plan A illustrates how a limited tactical nuclear confrontation between NATO and Russia can swiftly spiral into a full-blown nuclear war within mere hours. The findings indicate an immediate death toll of 34.1 million and 57.4 million injuries in the initial exchange, leading to over 91 million total casualties before any subsequent retaliatory strikes or long-term consequences are factored in. With the Doomsday Clock set at an alarming 85 seconds to midnight and both the US-Iran tensions and the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists cautions that the risk of nuclear misjudgment has reached unprecedented levels in recent history.

00:00Princeton University's nuclear war simulation is called Plan A, and what it shows should

00:05terrify every American. The simulation shows how one small nuclear strike in Europe could

00:11rapidly escalate into full-scale nuclear war between NATO and Russia. The first wave alone

00:17projects 34.1 million Americans dead, 57.4 million injured, more than 91 million casualties

00:25before the second wave even begins, before fallout spreads across the country, before radiation

00:31deaths, before nuclear winter. The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists moved the doomsday clock

00:37to 85 seconds to midnight in 2026, the closest in history. They warn of three major global

00:44crises happening at the same time—Russia-Ukraine, the U.S.-Iran conflict, and the collapse of

00:50nuclear arms treaties. Plan A does not predict nuclear war, but it shows how fast the world

00:55could spiral if leaders make the wrong decision. And at 85 seconds to midnight, wrong decisions

01:01happen very fast.
