Ive been thinking about nuclear war quite a bit lately, I dont feel anxious but I do like to feel prepared. While I think the main priority should be food and water for the ensuing famine, having a laptop might be beneficial (obviously no internet though).

Ive heard about bombs knocking out telecommunication, but do they also fuck up the personal electronics permamently of people who are far enough away not to be killed by the blasts?

    You’re assuming they want to conquer the other nation. Countries like the US, instead, really just want nations not listening to them out of the way. It’s why so much of their war tactics include “salting the earth” and turning beautiful places into war torn hellscapes.
