Locations In The U.S. That You Should Avoid At All Costs If A Nuclear War With Russia Erupts
by Michael ECONOMIC COLLAPSE BLOG
Vladimir Putin is threatening to use nukes again. If Russia ultimately decides to conduct a surprise first strike, are you living near a location that is likely to get nuked? Many people assume that the vast majority of the U.S. population would immediately die if a nuclear war erupts, but that isn’t true. It has been estimated that only about 20 percent of the U.S. population would be wiped out right away, more would die later on from radiation exposure, but the vast majority of the population would actually die from starvation during the subsequent weeks and months due to the “nuclear winter” that would stretch on for at least a couple of years. So if a nuclear war does happen, you will need enough food for yourself, your family and everyone that will be depending upon you for as long as you plan to stay alive.
In recent weeks, our politicians and the “experts” on the cable news channels have been assuring us over and over again that the risk of nuclear war is very low and that Vladimir Putin is bluffing when he threatens to use nuclear weapons.
Considering his track record, I believe that we should take Putin’s threats deadly seriously, and he just publicly threatened to use nuclear weapons against anyone that interferes in the war in Ukraine…
‘If someone intends to interfere in what is going on from the outside they must know that constitutes an unacceptable strategic threat to Russia. They must know that our response to counter strikes will be lightning fast. Fast,’ he said.
‘We have all the weapons we need for this. No one else can brag about these weapons, and we won’t brag about them. But we will use them.’
Though Putin did not mention nuclear weapons directly, he was almost certainly referring to Russia’s new Sarmat 2 nuclear missile which was tested for the first time just days ago and that he boasted is unlike any other weapon in the world.
Obviously, that threat was directed at the United States, because we are intervening in the war in Ukraine more than anyone else.
As I have stated before, there are no winners in a nuclear war, but whichever side decides to strike first will have the best chance of surviving a nuclear war.
If the Russians ultimately determine that a direct military conflict with the United States is inevitable, they may decide that it is best to hit us before we can hit them.
When that day arrives, you will want to be as far away from prime strategic targets as you possibly can.
At the top of that list would be all of the military facilities where our nuclear weapons are located…
- Naval Base Kitsap (Washington)
- Malstrom Air Force Base (Montana)
- Nellis Air Force Base (Nevada)
- Warren Air Force Base (Colorado and Wyoming)
- Minot Air Force Base (North Dakota)
- Pantex plant (Texas)
- Whiteman Air Force Base (Missouri)
- Barksdale Air Force Base (Louisiana)
- Naval Submarine Base (Georgia)
In addition, there are approximately 400 active nuclear missile silos that are spread across five states. The following comes from the Washington Post…
About 400 of those missiles remain active and ready to launch at a few seconds notice in Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, Colorado and Nebraska. They are located on bison preserves and Indian reservations. They sit across from a national forest, behind a rodeo grandstand, down the road from a one-room schoolhouse, and on dozens of private farms like the one belonging to the Butchers, who have lived for 60 years with a nuclear missile as their closest neighbor.
Secondly, you will want to be far away from any U.S. military bases, because they will be prime targets as well.
