Seriously, it just causes chaos, and another possible war.
That whole nonsense was more internet fear mongering over... something or another. The entirety of the situation wasn't very clear or life threatening.
Sure, the occasional idiot would pay a visit to either spot and defecate there, but not much else. Kind of like the cold war, except the raiding parties were single man operations led by colossal friends who weren't really affiliated to either side, and the nukes didn't actually exist. Yeah that war was boring.
