What If Russia Nuked Ukraine Tomorrow?

What if Russia used a nuclear weapon in Ukraine? This animated what-if follows one hypothetical night: a single small nuclear bomb at midnight, fifty miles from a quiet farm, and everything that happens next, from the first second to the first day to the years after. We look at what a weapon this size actually does, how the world would react, and why the biggest damage might be to the idea that has kept nuclear weapons unused since 1945: the nuclear taboo. None of this has happened. Hypothetical scenario, simplified for clarity. Weapon effects are based on published estimates; the reactions of governments, markets and people are our best guess. If you could send one message to the people who would have to make that choice at midnight, what would you say? Tell us in the comments.
