How far away do you need to be from DC to be safe from a nuclear attack?

People are bored and being worried about a nuclear attack is making them feel alive again. That's all that this is.

no, just me?

I'm not depressed but between my job, husband, 3 teenagers and high school drama/academics/spring sports tryouts, etc I'm kind of ok with vaporization.

I don’t think you really understand what being *dead* means. This isn’t a video game. You don’t get to re-spawn and start playing again.

Every other problem you have in your life is pretty damn trivial compared to being DEAD. You don’t seem to get that.

Being dead isn’t a problem I have to deal with though…-DP

Do we have any anti-missile defenses? I remember as a child hearing about Reagan's Star Wars program but did anything ever get implemented? Not that I would want to count on it...

That was mostly a way to funnel money to military contractors for half-baked ideas that couldn't possibly work.

No. Probably too close to Malmstrom Air Force Base Montana.

My dad used to comfort us with that fact.

The Day After movie scared the crap out of me as a kid

I was just going to say this. Feel like I'm reliving my youth again.

That movie gave me nightmares for a long time after I watched it. I was convinced there was going to be a nuclear war any day and I would never survive to adulthood.

Minus the lady who posted she literally booked an Airbnb to run away to…

Pretty sure that was a troll!

We’ve booked it for 21 days… I guess if there’s an attack it won’t matter at that point and we’ll just stay there. There’s not much around it, and it’s miles and miles from anywhere that would seem even remotely important. Closest “city” is Roanoke, and that’s almost 45 miles away. That seems like the best we can do on short notice. We both WFH and are familiar enough with home schooling thanks to the pandemic that I think the kids will be ok for a while. They’re too young to really understand this, so as long as they’ve got stuff to keep them occupied I think they’ll manage ok….. I never believed we’d be in a mess like this a year ago. It’s just inconceivable. I just can’t even fathom it.

What was the deciding factor? I would like to leave for a bit as well and I’m trying to convince my spouse. We may leave out of the country if need be.

I just had a discussion with my cousin tonight about leaving the country and going where we have a second citizenship for a few weeks. We're on the fence.

On the plus side with all of the paranoids allegedly fleeing the area maybe we can start to shed more of the heightened covid restrictions and move more in line with the rest of the country

For real. Please stay wherever you flee too. Your panic is not needed here. I hope you don’t need to venture out of the house for anything. Covington is the complete opposite of DC. Report back how many masks you see. I’m going with zero.

The joke is the anti-mask crowd is the pro-prepper crowd too. They've been waiting for this.

No. If that woman is even for real, booking an Airbnb to run away to might be the most exciting thing she's done in two years. And running away to some cabin in the middle of nowhere is a far more interesting story than flying to a resort in Playa del Carmen. People need to feel things, and most people have been feeling pretty meh with the pandemic. A potential nuclear war is exciting.
Preppers and all the "I'm going to be sent to a camp because I refuse to vaccinate!" folks are the same. They're nobodies who are doing nothing with their lives and these fantasies give them a purpose.

If only he had adopted his predecessor’s strategy with Putin: bending over and coquettishly spreading his ass cheeks.

Better that then the idiot we have now.

No, honey. The former idiot was 1,000 times worse.
