Nuclear War

I think there's an argument to be made that there would be no good place to be if a nuclear war were to happen. That being said, there's a recent report that claims Missouri might be an especially unpleasant place to exist during an end of days conflict as the plan was for it to be a 'sacrifice state'.

Here's one of those what-if scenarios you hope you never live to see. China has made some threats against the United States over Taiwan including nuclear retaliation. What if only one of those ICBM's were used against St. Louis, Missouri? A simulation map shows the devastation is likely greater than you think.

Did you know there are some who claim government officials have confided the public may not be warned in the event of an incoming nuclear attack? There are 5 signs you can look for that will alert you that an attack may be in the process of happening or imminent though.

It's a chilling scenario that seems like it should be unreal, but an author with inside information paints a dire picture of what would happen to Illinois if war were to begin. She says Illinois would be gone in much less than 2 hours and that's a conservative estimate.

Perhaps it's a good thing I don't read many books anymore because a new one has laid out a chilling scenario that plays out extraordinarily fast. If war breaks out, Missouri would likely be gone withing the first 72 minutes.

I have vivid memories of watching this Civil Defense educational film as a small child. My coworkers? Not so much.
