Nuclear weapons

We've always known that if the world ever enters a worst-case nuclear attack scenario that Missouri would be one of the first places hit. However, it was believed there were only 2 or 3 likely targets for an attack. A newly-updated FEMA map suddenly shows there are now dozens of Missouri places in grave danger if an enemy were ever to make our worst dreams come true.

The good news is this is just a hypothetical scenario that will hopefully never happen. The bad news is if a first-strike nuclear attack on America ever happens, a new FEMA map shows dozens of places in Wisconsin would be in trouble during the beginning of a horrific conflict.

The world stage continues to heat up as China is staging war games around Taiwan. As the United States promises to protect Taiwan in the event of an invasion, China is threatening a "big war" against America if that happens and some of its 500 nuclear weapons are believed to be pointed at Missouri.

In case you didn't know, Missouri plays a big role in the manufacturing of nuclear weapons for the United States of America. That role appears to be growing larger as the state legislature has just approved plans to build a lot more nukes.

I don't believe in fear mongering and I don't think you should lose any sleep over a nuclear winter beginning tomorrow. However, it would be prudent to at least be aware that most of Wisconsin would be in a world of trouble if Vladimir Putin really does follow through on his latest threat.

It's probably just saber-rattling, but threats of nuclear attack from Vladimir Putin are still being taken seriously. Thanks to new intel, we have a pretty good idea of what American places he would target first and a map shows Missouri would be near the top of his hit list.

It would be a blessing in disguise if it were to happen like this. I'm referring to a scenario in a leaked Pentagon paper that reveals what a nuclear surprise first-strike attack would look like. What it describes includes the terrifying fact that Missouri would be 'one of the first targets to go'.

Call it saber rattling or whatever description you like, but Russian President Vladimir Putin's new threats of nuclear attacks on America are a potential scary problem for Illinois in ways you may not have imagined.

I liked the world better when it was quiet and boring. The current landscape is anything but as Russian President Vladimir Putin's regime just threatened 14 American targets with nuclear weapons and high on the list is a prime target in Missouri.

I've heard lots of nuclear first strike scenarios mentioned, but never before have I heard one that mentioned a surprise likely first strike target like this one. If it were to happen, it would be a nightmare for Missouri for many reasons.
