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

You’re going to have to survive with a bunch of MAGA lunatics running around. Good luck.

The MAGA people I see around me are all decent, capable, law abiding family people. I don't agree with their politics but some of you have a very warped perspective of Trump voters in flyover.

You don’t know them well enough. They have zero morals. I wouldn’t trust any of them in an apocalypse.

I’m not sure democrats can claim the high ground on morality anymore (and that’s coming from a liberal). I know a lot of democrats, pretty much everyone I interact with is a democrat, a lot of them have shown to be privileged, whining, out of touch a-holes for the past two years.

Yup. The last few years have shown us just how much humans suck.

People’s memory is short. Do you think earlier history was better?

People have probably always been stupid/immoral.

Social media has emboldened and amplified the stupid/evil.

One single SATAN missile from Russia can destroy the entire state of Texas in an instant. Only 5 SATAN missiles are required to destroy the entire East or West coast of the US. You could drive hundreds of miles and still need 100000000000000 SPF sunblock. Even if you managed to live in the middle of the US and the costs were destroyed by SATAN missiles, you'd still probably die of the massive nuclear fallout and radiation poisoning. Land would become unarable for 10000 years, so at a minimum you face complete starvation.

Best just to die in a direct hit.

No. Just no.

Where do you come up with this nonsense?

You're behind the times. Russia has developed a single missile that is a country killer:

Sure, they can. There is absolutely no equivalence for the level of depravity that the GOP has shown over the last few years.

Ds aren’t perfect but they are light years away from Rs.

If someone launched a nuke, they wouldn't launch just one, they'd have to launch multiple at the same time to make sure there was no threat of retaliation, But that's impossible because of the US' nuke triad. The entire country and world would turn into a radioactive waste land unfit for life. We'd all die, no matter where you'd try to move.

This. They wouldn't just target DC. They'd target major cities, military bases, silos, etc. Frankly, you might not want to survive the first strike, given what life will be like afterwards.

This ICBM is not in production. Not really even close.

+1 and I am not a Trumper

+1 and not a Trumper either, but people like the PP above NEED to brand people who support MAGA as lunatics so it can justify their own vicious hatefulness. Makes them feel good about themselves.

Nope. MAGA actions speak for themselves.

Maximum payload is 10-15 MIRVs for a total yield of 50MT

That’s not even enough to destroy the average county in Texas, let alone the whole state.

To further put that in perspective, American B-52’s were flying with larger nuclear payloads than that before the first Ford Mustang was designed.

I hope Putin is assassinated. The Russian people, and the world would be safer.

Your schtick is getting worn out.

I didn’t vote for Trump, but I will also acknowledge we didn’t have 22 page thread about a possible Russian nuclear attack during his presidency, either.

I have a serious case of buyer’s remorse with Joe Biden. I now look at the Trump-era fondly. I feel awkward admitting it, because I hate being wrong. But that’s how I feel.

Their nukes may not work -- at all. Ours do. It will not stop a madman from firing but if there is any sanity there by anyone they will not.

I would agree with a statement like, "some may not work." I am sure that there are a number that would fail to detonate. However, even if the failure rate is 50%, that's still going to be bad news for the east coast.

The actions of those that would prefer American not to be great are pretty clear.
