Damages in all the 6 cities

  • San Francisco – if this city were to be the target of a 15-kiloton blast, approximately 64,000 people would die and roughly 172,000 would be injured. In conformity with the simulation, in the case of a fireball, the Golden Gate Bridge would be fine. Moreover, if the blast were to hit Mission District, it would miss two of the most iconic waterside milestones in the city: Fisherman’s Wharf and the Ferry Building.
  • Houston – if the target were Houston, there would be 90,000 deaths and 65,000 people wounded. If the bomb would be detonated from a point near the downtown area, the Space Center Houston and the Johnson Space Center would be protected. Furthermore, the Houston Zoo might be able to get away from the air blasts as well.
  • New York City – if the nuke were to hit the lower part of Manhattan, the majority of Brooklyn and Queens would be fine, but some windows there might still burst. If the target would be somewhere near SoHo, the zone around Washington Square Park and Chinatown would be exposed to severe radiation. Moreover, some parts of the Financial District would also be the victims of radiation.

  1. I guess it depends on the size of the weapons and the tactical and strategic intent. New London, CT, Norfolk, San Diago, Honolulu, and Seattle all have nuclear sub and aircraft carrier bases. Although striking major population centers have a particular psychological impact, going after your adversary’s weapons makes more sense with mutually assured destruction and US ballistic missile submarines as well as airborne and land-based weapons systems in the U.S. Putin would never risk using a nuclear weapon, no matter how much bluster he spouts. From the Second World War on, we’ve had nothing but ill-fated conventional conflicts that bled our treasuries and, over time, our resolve. No matter what the new administration in DC does, NATO and the European allies will continue to help Ukraine because, for them, it is an existential threat. If our democracy continues to function, the current occupant of the White House will be gone in four years, arrested, or medically disqualified. As long as we can all keep going for the next two to four years things could settle down.

  2. I personaly think we have bigger problems coming with our new president elect,the man has not a clue about war ,and the people are going to pay big by putting him in the white house again worse than before.

  3. Man has destroyed this planet beyond repair!
    All the insane so-called leaders will certainly hasten our demise..🙊🙈🙈
    🤪💥😱

    What good would attacking cities do? More likely any enemy would try to attach weapons (missiles, submarines, bomber fleets) than soft targets.

    Also, if an enemy wanted to occupy a conquered country, why destroy it?

    We destroyed cities in Europe only to pay to rebuild them!!

    The sheep worry about the wolf, only to be eaten by the shepherd!

  5. So, where is the list of 6 US cities??
    You open the article and it immediately goes to the crisis between Russia & Ukraine ?¿??
    This site is full of propaganda and never facts as stated in the title!!
    I’m reporting and leaving this lame site.
    Good luck brainwashers.

  6. A Nuclear attack was adverted in 1960, because of the Cuban Missile Crisis. Both the U.S. and Soviet Union had agreed to remove its nukes and personnel from Cuba. Cuba being 90 nautical miles from Florida would have given advantage for a Nuclear Strike anywhere in the U.S.. People began building fortified shelters to sustain a nuclear fallout.
    From that time until the present what has the Government done to build Infistructures to prepare for a Nuclear Attack.
