Hell on Earth. Washington, DC, Possibly Sometime in the Near Future
A 1-megaton thermonuclear weapon detonation begins with a flash of light and heat so tremendous it is impossible for the human mind to comprehend. One hundred and eighty million degrees Fahrenheit is four or five times hotter than the temperature at the center of the sun.
In the first fraction of a millisecond after the bomb strikes the Pentagon, there is light. Soft X-ray light with a very short wavelength. The light superheats the surrounding air to millions of degrees, creating a massive fire-ball that expands at millions of miles per hour. Within seconds, this fireball increases to a diameter of a little more than a mile, its light and heat so intense that concrete surfaces explode, metal objects melt or evaporate, stone shatters, humans instantaneously convert into combusting carbon. The five-story, five-sided structure and everything inside its 6.5 million square feet of office space explodes into superheated dust; all 27,000 Pentagon employees perishing instantly.
Not a single thing in the fireball remains. Nothing. Ground zero is zeroed.

A nuke in DC would impact minorities and women disproportionately.
Obviously.
Freegards
Political reform?
...paint a BIG target on the place!
Twenty million tops... depending on the breaks.

It would avoid a civil war. The red states could form their own country and attack blue states which would technically not be a civil war.
Are we talking about during one of the frequent congressional vacations or are we talking about during the presidential State of the Union?
I lived 11 miles southwest of the capitol building for 30 years. I spent most of those years either in the Pentagon or on Ft. McNair.
The crime stats would change.
The Republic would be saved.
Seems like they’re trying to find out
What’s your point, Ms. Jacobsen?
It wouldn’t be good news. If they can take out DC, they can take out important places as well.
I would feel bad about the innocent people. Both of them.
12 miles offshore was 2 minutes roughly when they traveled 600 mph.
And now they’re much faster.
Cruise missiles would be first I’d guess.
Hope we’re not about to find out.
Hopefully, the IRS admins will be gone. Yay, no federal taxes for a while!
It would be the deep state doing it, they’d survive to crawl out and offer to “help”.
