On the bright side, the Democrat's power base gets taken out, and we won't have to be subjected to the ad nauseum cheerleading posts on FR.
I live about 100 miles from one of the biggest and most critical nuclear targets in the USA: King’s Bay GA, home of our east coast SSBNs. (The other such base is Naval Base Kitsap on Puget Sound in Washington State.)
If Russia fires just 10 nukes at America, King’s Bay will get at least one, and so will Kitsap. At any time, several SSBNs are in each sub base, each sub containing a nuclear reactor and dozens of MIRVed ICBM warheads. Plus extra warheads in bunkers etc. That is a lot of plutonium that is going to go up in the mushroom cloud.
Depending on wind direction over the following days, it will create a nuclear wasteland when that plutonium dust settles down to earth. Think of the Russian nuclear explosion as just the detonator for a massive “dirty bomb.”
Jacksonville, Atlanta, you name it, a huge swath could be rendered unsafe for humans. I am not casual about nuclear war. No jokes about the Russians taking out our Blue Hives. They will for sure target King’s Bay GA and Kitsap WA, and that will be horrible when all that nuclear material goes up and comes down across American cities, towns, watersheds and farm fields.
