Switzerland after WWIII: "Where did everybody go?"

8:53 Oh look, Ireland cheekily reunifies the North while the rest of the world is busy with the apocalypse

Lucky for us winds would blow northwest. We also have an agricultural surplus. So we'd bed ok IF there wasn't so many warheads gone off that sunlight had trouble getting through. In that scenario animals can't graze crops can't grow and werein big trouble

That's when it was screened. A year earlier the Americans produced their own version called The Day After. It should be remembered this was a pretty Febrile time, with the USSR going through a succession of leaders after Brezhnev died, with Andropov and Chernenko both dying after short periods in charge before Gorbachev emerged in 1986. We now know that only a Russian missile monitoring station commander judging an apparent missile launch by the US as a false alarm prevented a Soviet 'retaliatory' stroke in 1983. Those were pretty scary days.

literally 1984

I think I saw an argument once that it's set in 1988. The dates given line up with that year.

The early 80's was the height of the cold war.

​@@FrederikOlsenYeah, I read that recently, too.

💯💯

Agreed

I know that the Fallout London mod has taken some inspiration from threads obviously with it being one of our only good nuclear apocalypse movies. Probably the closest were gonna get lol

Fallout London would be a good idea for a film, IMO

It's not really comparable IMO. Those other two are fantasy compared to Threads.

Or it's Michael Beecroft.

Even if not directly hit, it would suffer the effects of electro-magnetic pulse from nuclear detonations in Britain and from the fallout.

​@@TraTrancand there were literally three nuclear attacks near the border with Ireland, enough to devastate the part of the country close to the border (and that is because Ireland is not a target of the USSR, imagine if that were the case it would literally be the UK but 1000 worse and almost no chance of survival (like, if the UK collapsed even with a strong and prepared government and military forces, imagine Ireland) In short, in a nuclear war there are no winners and everyone suffers, especially small and unprepared countries like Ireland (and I don't hate the Irish people for God's sake I even wrote this in another comment here if the comment doesn't appear blame KZfaq for literally be snowflakes and be Twitter before and even after elon musk bought the social network)

​@@TraTrancand besides there were three nuclear attacks near the border with Ireland, that was enough to destroy that part of the country, imagine if the USSR considered Ireland a legitimate target, it would be UK 2.0 but 1000 worse and with almost no chance of survival

YES.

South America...

Interesting

The US launched it coup to end the Islamic regime. And became a bloody world war.

it makes sense considering the US' foreign policy historically - at least in my opinion the reason China adopted MAD was because the Americans were seen to be the ones that would strike first in the majority of cases.

Relatable. Ever since i saw Mad Max 2 I dress like humongous

Stop blaming these movies for why you walk around like you got m*lested

💯💯👍👍

The whole film is a nightmare

You should see the "banned" (at the time) predecessor to Threads, whose name I've now cleverly forgotten (should be easy to find, though). Being in black and white doesn't reduce the impact one bit.

@@michaelmartin9022 Would that be 'The War Game'?

@@rogueriderhood1862 Ah yes, that was it

The Cold War wasn't pushed. That was around 90-93, so we were in the Desert Storm and Panama phases, where we were pushing on past the Glasnost days and remerging former Soviet countries. Serbia was kicking off, and we had Central America and Somalia to worry about... That's one of the reasons why the Leftists grabbed as deep a foothold in Western society as they have.

I watched movies from the 50s in the 80s and 90s, they were old fashioned but the stories were fun. There's still dated stuff that I love, so I can see what the younger gens could see in this. Also the bomb effects from both movies look bad, Threads is actually the worst with people who should have been flashblinded, etc. It's actually the impact of the movies that are effective. They're very effective. I can see anyone curious about nukes watching them. There needs to be a modern version though since the lead up to the nukes is dated now. I hope if they do, they learn from the older movies for effectiveness and they've no excuse for no realism with bomb attacks.

I'm 21 and watched threads when i was about 19 after finding it online, with the way the world is at the moment id say its still a pretty relevant movie and important to see

@@RaccoonKCD why is it important to see? So you can scare yourself? I’m your age, realistically if a nuclear war broke out what difference would this movie make? None at all.

As an 18 year old I still love the film as I don't mind special and enjoy practical effects. I think it still remains a fairly penitent film even for ppl my agein 2024. Doubly so as it's set we're live

There's strategy games where you play as a country fighting WW3, or survivors after the apocalypse, that feature the same theme. DEFCON and Frostpunk come to mind.

Independent states. The British government doesn't exist anymore and the whole era has become decentralized city states or lordships.

@@megalodonfilms5148 alright thanks man

If man destroyed him selfs in nuclear war. It should read on its tomb stone. Here's lyes the ruins of man and his civilization. That he destroyed by his own hands and weapons he created. Because mankind failed to learn from his own past and mistakes.

​@@megalodonfilms5148 no no, it's that the government decides to divide itself in order to be more manageable. It's in BBC TV documentaries from 1983

@@megalodonfilms5148 My interpretation is that local councils and governments in the UK become their own sort of fiefs like from feudal times, as the central government is powerless to handle the situation. So the UK still exists on paper, but in reality it's a feudal system of local counties desperately trying to manage the situation in any way they can.

Thank you. I'm not entirely sure which spelling mistakes your talking about since I put the script of the video through many editing softwares to catch mistakes. When it comes to airborne divisions, I was using the information used in the movie so if they got something wrong I might have put it in by accident. Though I may have made some errors myself as well.

@@megalodonfilms5148 thanks. If I have time I’ll try to get you something more detailed and specific.

@@megalodonfilms5148 Sorry I appreciate the effort you've put into this but you haven't spelt invasion or Britain correctly for starters. "Invastion" & "Britian". It was the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) btw.

@@Gingycat100 Yeah I saw that. Sorry. I have terrible grammar

@@megalodonfilms5148 The grammar doesn't affect the impact, lad. good effort and still grim.

For the video I used the UK’s 180 nuke scenario published by the government in the 1970s. While the movie Threads used a slightly different nuclear attack scenario for its movie, I used the one with publicly available data, which is pretty close to the one used in the film.

@@megalodonfilms5148 thought it might be that :) It does show the local bases so could very well be possible that was applied just not represented in the show as they move to concentrate on Sheffield

Fallout New Vegas Soundtrack - Begin Again

Thank you!

blackpool and southend on the sea still standing

🕺💃🕺💃🕺💃🕺💃

but Ireland would probably suffer from the radiation carried by the winds and the British refugees wanting to enter the country and famine because there was nuclear winter at a global level and the crops would die or not even grow(or worse, Ireland could also be targets of nuclear attacks, of the USSR like Austria and Switzerland because even though they are neutral they also have great ties with the European Union (which also has military protocols) and with NATO, being neutral does not mean that you will not be attacked by a military power ( the second world war is an example) so the unification of Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland (if it is not attacked and still exists and can withstand the refugees, the radiation being carried by the winds and the lack of crops) will not be worth a lot of things for the country, this territorial gain, would only cause more problems for Ireland than helping the only ones who would love this unification would be the IRA but I highly doubt that they still exist in this universe because if not even a powerful and centralized group like the UK couldn't handle it, just imagine a paramilitary group that is considered a terrorist group by both countries

@@federalinvestigationbureau5814 Another famine for Ireland, then. Is there any way they can blame the British?

They probably had nations or city states that were made after the war but we don’t know about them so I just left it blank

@@megalodonfilms5148 Oh, that makes sense, thanks for clarifying. :)

Yes, that is their deployment, To be moved out of the central areas

Means countries or states that aren’t mentioned or aren’t named but I’m pretty sure would exist. The borders should be taken for a grain of salt though because they don’t show what the UK looks like on a map after the war.

i assume the council is replaced by some high ranking military figure, seeing it logically makes sense the people with the guns and most food would be top of the higherarchy

Chances are the government were evacuated during the last few hours to one of the control bunkers, assuming they got out of London in time, but would quickly have been obsolete. Who are you going to listen to - Thatcher, eighty miles away underground waiting for food and water to run out, or the traffic warden with the gun right next to you?

I remember recently, there was a story on some Excavated mine somewhere in the UK, which was meant to act as a huge COG bunker for the Royal family and UK leaders, housing 4000 personnel.

No. Threads fan reporting

My interpretation is that local councils and governments become sort of like fiefdoms from feudal times, with the UK still existing on paper, but in reality local counties are the only polities with power, desperately trying to manage the situation as the central government is powerless. After a few decades, I think the UK government would gradually start to be rebuilt

💯👍💯True

👍

_Fallout_ is a lot more optimistic than _Threads._ In _Fallout_ there is at least some chance of rebuilding and a return to agriculture within a few generations, plus there is adequate shelter in the vaults until the worst of it passes. _Threads_ ends with agriculture basically destroyed and the next generation of humans being stillborn mutants. Womp womp.

@@hotelmario510 Fallout and Threads COULD Not be any more different

Threads makes Fallout look like Teletubbies lol

Yeah I got terrible spelling lol

It still likely would have fell because of anarchy in the north and the nuclear winter.

Just watched the video and to be honest I would think if the Irish republic had survived the winter it would be severely Authoritarian and probably couldn't take on the burden of the desecrated Northern Ireland

Ireland would probably sign treaties to become a russian oblast the first chance they get

I'd be very surprised if either survived. Portsmouth is the home of the Royal Navy, and Aberdeen is North Sea oil. Both prime targets.

@@rogueriderhood1862 but they wre not on the map lol so they are fine

@@dgattenb I admire your optimism! 😊

Apparently, the Soviets planned to nuke Cork, Dublin and Shannon airports to prevent them being used by NATO.

No The Russian Embassy in Dublin applied and were refused planning permission to build a bunker with its own water supply and air filtration system at the rear of their Embassy. That tells you they know we are a target !

if Ireland does not collapse due to the large number of refugees, the radiation being carried by the winds (in fact there have been some nuclear attacks near the Irish border) and the lack of food because the world will have a nuclear winter and the crops will die or not even be born, apart from the panic and social disorder that will be in the country (or even worse, Ireland could be attacked by nuclear weapons from the USSR because even though Ireland is neutral it has good ties with the European Union and NATO, just like Finland,Austria,Switzerland and Sweden so for the Soviets these countries would be considered threats even if small and literally legitimate targets so Ireland got screwed a lot in this universe)

I can't remember the specifics, but the soviets did target a number of cities and ports in RoI in order to prevent any relief ships getting to NATO countries from the US.

😂😂😂👍💯
