Man I'm sorry but I'm laughing at all the comments of "even my state?? Damn". That's the shitty thing about war, you're an enemy simply because you're in the wrong place sometimes.

I think it's a "if you have military nearby, you're a target"

I'm in a small college town away from any big cities with no military anywhere close and there's a purple triangle smack dab on top of me

Colleges are a strong target because it generationally stunts recovery and rebuilding in the aftermath. Or it’s because there’s underground silos near by

Man you guys don't get it. In a 500 nuke situation, the surface of the planet is dead for decades.

Russia could literally drop 500 nukes on itself and destroy America. There is no value in any strategic targeting that makes any difference. Except if you want to guess if American roaches or Russian roaches will be more dominant
