Quote HistoryQuoted: I just looked this up earlier today. The North West is going to get rocked. NY and Florida are the big targets in the East. During the cold war... They said that Gainesville Florida, home of the University Of Florida, would get a warhead if things went hot... Most assumed because of the population of people. It wasn't! It is because the airport in Gainesville, the run ways are large enough and long enough to handle military aircraft traffic. |

Utah? Maybe. Much higher potential for average home having preps/stored food, and willingness to share.
Idaho? Maybe. Much higher potential for average home having preps/stored food, and a willingness to take yours, too. |

Last time I looked, Idaho is the least targeted state. The only major military installation is Mountain Home AFB. The most heavily targeted city is Tucson I believe.
Doesn't matter where you are at, the nuclear winter will kill you eventually. I'd rather get the canned sunshine dropped on my head. |

Hill AFB will be a target. They have ICBM squadrons there.
Maybe if you got high up in the mountains. I don’t think there are many safe places to be. Then there’s the fallout to contend with after the strike. A nuclear war is why I spent much of my childhood and teen year with a sort of low level fear during the Cold War. I haven’t had that feeling since the late 80’s and now all of the sudden it’s back. Putin is a major asshole. Remember, at his heart is is all about Communism and worships at the altar of Lenin. Same shit commies in this country want. That same ideology drives them to do horrific things. Scares the hell out of me. |

I always heard Hill Air Force base was on the first struck list because we service the minuteman missiles there. Don’t know if that’s true but I think outside of northern Utah it wouldn’t be bad. There’s tons of open land with hardly anyone living there.

I think WW III will be a "use what you got" affair. Not the prolonged "Battle of Production" that was WW II ... Plus - launching a ICBM from a US Silo tends to wreck them without extensive renovation as I understand it - the Russians later models use "Cold Launch" to kick the Missile out of the silo before the Main Rocket Engine kicks in & cooks the interior of the Silo.
