Amid the West's continued support of Ukraine, the threat of nuclear escalation with Russia has been ever-present as the Kremlin tries to deter further NATO involvement.
While there is no indication of an impending nuclear clash between Russia and NATO, the results would be catastrophic, according to the "Plan A" simulation published by Princeton's Science and Global Security program, which estimates there would be 91.5 million casualties within hours of a nuclear conflict and many more in the following months and years.
A Russian nuclear attack on the U.S. would aim to cut essential command and control communications channels, destroy key industrial and commercial zones, cripple nuclear assets, and incapacitate American military and political leadership.

“...that NATO needs boots on the ground (mostly US) in Ukraine...”
I couldn’t tolerate the anti-war idiots protesting the Vietnam War, but I would be inclined to join them now if Bidenzki sends our youth to Ukraine.
Yet Democrats would still cheat at elections
We have targets in the UK, France, Canada among other countries. It is common sense to have war plans for every possible situation.
We’ll save Australia
Don’t want to hurt no kangaroo
We’ll build an all American amusement park there
They’ve got surfing, too
I tend to think that will be the outcome, except it will take centuries, not weeks.
If we have to become the Planet of the Apes, I hope it’s the orangutangs who come out on top.
That would be Newsweak and Princeton Virtue signalling Wokesters, your favorites!
Just be sure to learn to speak Mandarin, you’ll need it.
I just saw you ride to Biden’s rescue. I saw it. AMF...
Didn’t take centuries for Hiroshima.
Russia will likely follow the same plan they had back in the 70s: high/low bursts staggered north/south, east/west across the county; that way all infrastructure, all cities, most military bases are destroyed; hitting individual targets invites failure, blanketing the country ensures success.
Then whatever the initial wave missed the resulting massive firestorms and firestorm tornadoes will finish off. Oxygen will be massively depleted across the country and the northern hemisphere.
No one escapes. Casualties will be most of the population, and the survivors will wish they had died.
FR will still be around right? After all I heard one of the early reasons given for the internet is that it can survive a nuclear war given its architecture.
Seeing most of the targets, I am now convinced a war with Russia is a great idea! /s
“Has there ever been a time when Russian didn’t have US targets in place?”
Yes ... before 1949.
Pretty much all of them are liberal cities too. I wonder if that's a coincidence.
True. But while Russia may not have had nuclear US targets then, they certainly had the entire US as a target.
Via Communism. And looking at the Communist goals of 1963, they succeeded in many ways.

Maybe Russia has a new policy that they will Nuke big American Cities full of Arrogant Aholes, just because.
You made sure your idol Biden was not held solely responsible for the nuclear threat at the moment. You rushed to point it out lol.
Now run along little boy. You young ones are so full of yourselves.
