Study Reveals Likely Russia Nuclear Targets in US
Newsmax ^ | March 19, 2024 | Nicole Wells

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.

Has there ever been a time when Russian didn’t have US targets in place?

Yes. Prior to 1949.

The point of the movie was to show what a Fire Sale was using a computer and how all of utility and other places are vulnerable to Cyber Hacks and Crime. That is where we are, no Cyber Security and a reliance on the Cloud which offers no protection at all.

I believe our Defence Sec said if Ukraine does not prevail, NATO WILL go to with Russia. Almost as if the decision has already been made.

They left China off their primary target list?

What a great way to expedite The Davos-DS-DNC ‘Great Replacement’ policy that would eliminate Euro-American Caucasians and culture world-wide in just a few days!

And for the first time they are targeting communists here in the large US liberal cities.

Back in the early 80s Omni Magazine printed a list of most likely USSR targets. Our air force base * was listed as #2 target after Washington DC. We were the biggest and fastest bomber threat to the USSR.

* Plattsburgh AFB. NY. It’s closed now.

“...I don’t refer to movies for advice.”

That’s not what that entry was about. It to give people the opportunty to realize that nuclear scenarios are not something new. The only new things we add to it anymore are who has the capacity now as the threat from countries grows. And any effort toward any of the launch scenarios could cause hundreds of launches all over the world. The US has about 20 minutes before the first possible device is detinated in the CONUS. And Russia, the party being talked about, has a couple of thousand active warheads with some ready to throw a few from subs all over both our coast lines.

So you may not take advice from movies. But that little instance was correct concerning scenarios. And if you stop and think, both Russia and the US are well aware of what would happen if there was a launch. If we are so smart, then why are we so suicidal? And why is Newsmax trying to hide the real truth about nuclear war to scare people that have been under the threat for a few generations?

In 1960, the United States developed its first Single Integrated Operational Plan, a range of targeting options, and described launch procedures and target sets against which nuclear weapons would be launched. That’s been expanded clear through today and changes with situations. So what’s the issue?

Take out DC and the State Capitols, leave Patriots alone to rebuild a better nation.

DMAFB is more of a long term storage yard. Starting in 2017 they have restored hundreds of aircraft to service.

It doesn’t depend on DC either. Quite the opposite actually.

Putin threatened to nuke first. I know he’s FR’s hero now because of Biden derangement syndrome, but come on.
