If Russia nukes Ukraine won't the prevailing winds blow the fallout/radiation into the Russian Federation?

This may have been posted already but if true it makes Putin and Russian leaders look like the "Moran's" they truly strive to be....

1. They won't nuke

No one likes glowing cobalt.

2. I looked this up a couple years ago

And I believe the prevailing winds do not flow towards Russia.

3. Yeah, they'll be flowing towards my family in Hungary.

I can't believe we're even discussing this. Is there any sanity left anywhere?

5. Russia is north east and East of Ukraine

8. You are correct. Weather moves from west to east and Russia is east and north of Ukraine

17. Loved the meme, by the way, and saved it for future use

If I can figure out how to post it.

19. No problem!

6. Just to clarify air burst which damage a larger area do not cause much fallout

Ground hits which do more damage to a small area are the ones that dump fallout.

Go to the link below and play with it for air or ground burst.

7. Unless the radiation gets to Moscow

Putin wouldn't care.

[Xolodno]

9. No, and its a myth that is far too much perpetuated.

Here is a map of the Chernobyl radiation cloud.

10. Low yield tactical nukes, especially air burst vs ground burst, have low radiation/fallout levels. nt

12. maybe they are like Trump voters

too stupid to look ahead

16. The USA is not the only nato member who has and controls nuclear weapons.

18. Civilian's duty is to die for the state when it demands in the russian government mindset

Nobody lives for themselves. Lives and deaths are meant to only serve the needs of the state in Russia.
