re: #35 Anymouse

It might be a rather dystopian view, but if someone wants to go lobbing nuclear weapons around the world, I am happy I live where I do. I won’t have to survive the aftermath of a Mad Max world.

All my adult life I have lived in places that are targets for nuclear attack (Virginia Beach, Jacksonville, Charleston, Omaha, Chicago). There pretty much isn’t a place that is not a target or close to one.

At least with all the silos around me I know it won’t be a near miss and weeks of radiation sickness. Just lawn chairs and popcorn to watch the fireworks display.

Minneapolis is close enough that I’m pretty sure I would be a smoldering crater in the event of nuclear war. It’s not at the top of anybody’s target list, but it’s within range of enough nuclear powers and has enough population density and manufacturing/raw materials capacity to be worth dropping a single warhead on.
