Yeah but if you've got 3000, may as well be thorough.

They used to print these in civil defense manuals when my parents were growing up. I think my dad still has one kicking around somewhere.

Yep. Strategic target. Heavy industry and military production. They might as well paint a bullseye on the roof.

I was replying to the person who said the places to move are northern Maine and western Colorado. I wasn't talking or thinking about the sites. I guess that's why I misunderstood your previous comment lol.

No, but he would be the kind of guy to think he could get away with it without dying in a fireball. He's also got that nifty Dead Hand system he knows he can use.

A guy who makes all his guests sit on the far end of a 50-foot-long conference table doesn't sound like someone too keen to die in a fireball.

The Chinese aren't crazy or stupid enough to start lobbing rockets our way. Pooty Poot on the other hand... is, and has a lot more missiles than Xi does.

Rangely possibly as a secondary target in a counter-force exchange. Public knowledge that a US Navy SERE school is there. Doubtful they'd waste anything over 2 Kts on it though.

I know "they" wouldn't need a nuke for it but, I'm honestly surprised that Bangor International isn't on the list. It's a vitally important runway for the Air Force as it's the last airport in America to stop and refuel.

Meh. I watched The Day After, in the 1980's. Then some fucking asshole from Pease Airforce base broke the sound barrier over our heads. Have a nice day, asshole.

Excited to live in Boston (actual city) and frequently visit my family in Scarborough/Portland, which should work out well.

Finally some love for Respiratory therapists! The true front line of COVID. They should be paid so much more for the things they do!

Actual target lists from the Cold War would disagree with you. There's no scenario where someone would attack it with anything other than a nuclear weapon.

A map like this is kind of funny.
You gotta think there’s at least 1 nuclear-capable country saying, “oh neat, we didn’t even think about nuking Muleshoe, Texas!

Nobody would waste a nuke on a radio antenna. They have conventional bombs for that.

You don’t need to nuke VLF Cutler to destroy it.
In the winter they routinely have to pump additional power into the antenna arrays to keep them de-iced.
A conventional bomb or missile hitting one of the antenna towers or the control building would take down the whole operation.
