Nukes would have at best very limited usage.

It’s one think to nuke an island 5000 miles away.

Entirely different thing to nuke a city 125 air miles away.

I don’t see Americans nuking each other. But a nuclear arsenal is a mighty big stick, eh?

There aren't many cities within 125 miles of the Minot AFB, and all fewer than 200,000 pop. Montana is roughly 700 miles wide across the high line, so it must be farther than you think.

***If push came to shove, I’d move to those nuclear sites. I could target such a city 125 miles away. If it works on an ICBM it can work with Sahib & his Cessna. Not that I’d want to. Also... not that this would ever really happen.
