Good luck!

Just what I thought. 'Bugging out' in fallout = not a good idea!
Why this obsession with 'bugging out' anyway? The Chinese are hardly likely to invade (I'm sure they have enough of their own McDonalds, snicker... ). Far simpler to disable a country from a distance.

I have taken all the doors off their hinges and created little bomb shelters using cushions from the sofa. My house is quite obvious as it is the only one with white wash windows. They laugh at me in the street , but I'll be the one laughing when I arise from my door and cushion bunker, having survived nuclear armageddon

maybe this universe is a mirror. So maybe some more postive thoughts would be nicer.. Why do we need thread sabout war all the time.. What if peace broke out.. what would you do then......
Better than a 1000 useless words is a single word of peace.....

If China used their merchant fleet to get soldiers into the country for a sneek attack, (a la world at war comp game) they could land a large force on US soil, in key ports, theoretically simultaniously, or just to close togeather for the military to stop the landing. Then there would be major problems, the guard would be called up and reserves. However, the Chinese could get a good toe hold on US soil. Also could happen during the war if the Chinese used ships that are flying false colors.

focusing all my attention on eradicating all the asshles who helped bring us to this point in our evolution, while gathering up ma goldnsilver, matees

I would do what I have been doing for some time.

Hiding out in the woods,getting prepared to live primatively.

Let the world destroy itself while I wait for it to finish itself off.

You're hardly "hiding out in the woods" if you have power, a computer, and can get online. You need to look up the definition of "hiding in the woods" and "living off the grid".

Personally, I live AND work less than two miles from a major international airport. No point in securing my home against nuclear attack.

Given the massive casualties expected during a nuclear attack or when the world goes to #, I think it's pretty arrogant of ANYONE to assume that they're going to survive when TSHTF.

Unless you're specifically trained with YEARS of experience in survival training (IE, probably nothing less than military special forces) your likelihood of surviving such times is very limited. The stated population decline is "9 out of every ten will be removed". What makes you think you're special enough to be the ONE that survives?

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I'm a REALIST.

The Chinese can't figure out McDonald's drive thrus. It's a lot more likely that the Chinese would attack with a socio-economic strike combined with a massive cyber attack rather than with their military or nuclear weapons.

I would hunker down and stay very aware of what exactly is happening. We're already prepared with food, water, etc. I'm in California (Northern end) so if someone nuked San Francisco and there was a southern breeze, we would bug out. We're prepared for that, too. But I don't think it will get that far - they'll just do enough to scare us and keep our eyes off the doomed dollar and worsening depression.

If someone nuked San Francisco, California would be in mass chaos, and likely road gridlock (if vehicles were even working -not likely), within minutes. I hope your "bug out" plan doesn't involve using ANY transportation of ANY kind other than walking, or rely on ANYTHING electronic such as a cell phone or GPS, none of which would work after such an attack.

Enjoy your walk through the radioactive wasteland. If San Francisco is nuked, likely many other cities would be too.

It is only a land based missile. While it would help defend China from us invading, it would be of absolutely no use in support an invasion of the US.

I'd probobally smile, let out a chuckle.... and look for the hoards of teenagers, all on there cellphones bahahhahahaa
