This database of US targets is fascinating and terrifying. It was put together by a former US nuclear war planner, as a hypothetical “how would I nuke the US?”.
Here’s a target selection for maximum collateral damage being run in Nuclear War Simulator :yea:
just 104 million fatalites? thats a 68% survival rate, the stonks will live to see another day :brandon:
Found a comment from the guy who made it under an upload he made of it to reddit:
:this-is-fine:
Oooh I didn’t know he posted to Reddit. I used to follow him on Twitter, but he quit or got banned. His account is a goldmine for War Nerds…
From 6 months ago:
:yea:
:putin-wink:
Almost refreshing to see someone with professional knowledge of these things refute the idiocy of “but lol the nukes won’t work”. Obviously it’s not refreshing as it means that 90-95% of the US population would be dead in 18 months, but still. There’s at least some people who take this seriously, somewhere in the empire.
mass migration to Canada/Mexico might happen tho, right?
Darpa did a similar study that came to a similar conclusion but it was only about the US's shitty power grid failing. If just a few power plants go down the entire country will be powerless for about a year during which darpa thinks most of the population will die.
There was also at least one unexplained attack on a power plant involving a drone dropping tin foil.
Also - Americans won't even wear masks anymore during a peacetime pandemic. Imagine the chaos, fear, and anger if there was a nuclear war. If the radiation doesn't kill you - other Americans will.
Most people won't live long enough to die from radiation without food and clean water.
