One of the most highly anticipated films of the year – the blockbuster American documentary “Countdown to Zero “ – has been referred to as a wake-up call for anyone hoping to live in a nuclear weapon-free world.
No surprise the new 'Countdown to Zero' disarmament documentary omits life-saving strategies from their agenda of banning nukes, like advocating public Civil Defense, to try and better survive nukes in the meantime. The disarmament movement for decades has hyped that with nukes; all will die or it will be so bad you'll wish you had. Most have bought into it, now thinking it futile, bordering on lunacy, to try to learn how to survive a nuclear blast and radioactive fallout. In a tragic irony, the disarmament movement has rendered millions of American families even more vulnerable to perishing from nukes in the future. The greatest tragedy of that horrific loss of life, when nukes come to America, will be that most families had needlessly perished, out of ignorance of how easily they might have avoided becoming additional casualties, all because they were duped that it was futile to ever try to learn how to beforehand. The disarmament movement's sincere supporters, just wanting a world safe from nukes, will discover those unintended consequences to be inconvenient truths of the worst kind.










I did not watch film and I believe that idea was to give humanity a "wake up call" about danger and risk to have nuclear bombs. In my opinion we will never have a world free of this weapons...It is mission impossible and it will never be! Some kind of reduction yes but a complete clean up no....I also believe that people will in the future find something more deadly than nuclear bombs. Why is that? Becouse people are made imperfect-foulty...When we look what we doing to our only home- Planet Eart-I simple can not state otherways! There is not one single day in news that missing something about new weapons and huge amount of money spend on that..All of this doing is in the name of protectng ourself from OURSELFS! I am more then sure that humanity will in the end(somehow) demolish everything. Sorry to be pesimistic(realistic) but looking at history od human kind up to now-we heading there....Thank you
