I don’t think agree with ‘relatively’ quickly, it took about 7 months. Then, when I tried to learn about the nuclear risk I was facing, almost all info about the war was not relevant, essentially it was just the fact that the Russian leader of the government had explicitly and extremely visibly threatened to use nukes.
The rest of the info I needed was not to do with the ongoing war, it was:
A little historical info about how MAD-escalation can happen with US/Russia
Finding out that where I am based (Bay Area) has historically been considered in the top 5-10 targets in the US
I still know essentially nothing about the war or how it’s playing out in those countries and in broad international politics, and don’t think this has been a mistake. I am currently standing by my algorithm.

Checking what size nuke would be headed here and what places I can go to fall outside the blast radius (I now have a place prepped and set up)
A little fermi about the micromorts per hour if a tactical nuke was used to inform how quickly I should respond
