good news. fusion (hydrogen) bombs produce very very little radioactive fallout. in fact, much of the improvements to our nuclear arms has been making them more efficient, so that most of the nuclear material undergoes fusion and is not blasted out into the atmosphere as (relatively) long half-life fallout.
In addition, nuclear weapons are now designed to air-burst at an altitude that avoids irradiating nearly as much dirt and debris and blasting it up into the air to be spread. The higher-altitude burst actually kills and destroys more while avoiding as much nuclear fallout. This irradiated material is much less dangerous that "un-fused" nuclear material, and it's radioactive properties last less than a month.
so yeah. don't live near air bases and population centers and you'll have a reasonable shot at living.
the nuclear fallout scenario is actually totally unrealistic
Depends on the bomb. Two Colbat-60 nukes would be enough to kill everything on the planet if set off in the right places because they're intentional "dirty bombs" designed with at least 60 years of fallout as the purpose rather than the consequence.
They'd target the military bases first, then government complexes, then major districts.
The muzzies? The Shiites want to cause destruction to usher in their messiah, they'd might target major population centers before military targets. Sunnis seem more level-headed, but I still wouldn't bank on logic reigning should the sort in Europe get nukes.
If I could convince Elon to bring me to Mars, I'd not want to go. I hope the process would be based enough that it would exclude me, as awful as that would be for me.
France and the UK have intercontinental hydrogen bombs.
When France falls you’ll have to be very far to be safe.
Holy shit wouldn't that be something? World Peace in our time.

lets just hope someone doesnt get the bright idea of lets drop all our own nukes on one specific spot on ourheads unless we get our demands met.
Maybe I can convince Elon to take me to the moon with him.
If I could convince Elon to bring me to Mars, I'd not want to go. I hope the process would be based enough that it would exclude me, as awful as that would be for me.
Mars would have the same problem(s). I'd rather go with small mobile space colonies. Don't like the neighborhood? Nope out.
I want to go to the sun. I like the warm weather.
