A surprising number of people don’t know this.
†*******************
I have known this since the early 80’s. While I was in high school, I researched what would happen and why where I lived was a prime target.
Having lived within 10 miles of Fairchild AFB (at the time, a SAC base, home of the 92nd Bomb Wing), I was well aware that if the Sovs launched, I had about 20-30 minutes to live.
I now live within 3 blocks of the perimeter of JBLM on the McChord side. I’m still in a prime target area. If Russia or China launched, I’d still have only 20-30 minutes of abject terror to live.
In the 1980s, the nuclear war fear propaganda was through the roof.
The establishment seems to have found that global warming fear mongering is much more profitable.
Difference is that nuclear destruction actually is a real threat. Although it didn’t warrant the fear mongering of the 80s, it seems today’s population are mostly ignorant of the concept.
Get on your bad motor scooter and ride!
You won't get anywhere on the clogged roads, but at least you'll die doing something fun.
