12.3 miles from US Army Missile and Space Command so probably get nekkid, go outside, face SE and get my ding dong really well done.
I have to believe more than that: Bolling, Site R, Camp David, Andrews, Mt. Weather, Naval Observatory, Offutt, Barkesdale, Cheyenne Mountain, Kings Bay, maybe the missile fields in North Dakota, Montana and Wyoming (although they would be hitting empty silos,) the VLF transmission station at Cutler, ME, a few select cable landings.Odds are high limited nuclear exchange. The Soviet plans were to hit basically our strategic nukes and a few of the major navy and joint bases. It wasn’t hit all of the population centers or the whole country or anything. DC was in the list. But Baltimore and NYC weren’t for example. And DC was just for the Pentagon. It was a few score of launches, not hundreds.
Or a dirt bike.If daily rush hour has all the major roads at capacity , any attempted evacuation will be instant gridlock , with nobody moving for days .
Unless you have a helicopter in your backyard , once a panic starts , it's already too late .
But a shock and awe decapitation strike is not just old school. It is playbook.If the Russians did bomb DC and the Pentagon, there would be 450 left over Generals and Admirals and 55-60 state governors to deal with for the surrender terms. 20 or 30 states might send thank you notes and flowers, but my guess would be 15 to 20 would fight on. It would be a mess that even Putin wouldn't want. In the earlier times the reason to sack the enemy's capitol was that was where the resources were, treasuries with actual precious metal reserves and graineries; but you didn't burn it until you had emptied it. None of that is in DC. The idea of bombing an enimy's capitol is old school.
Sure Cheyenne is on that list. Cutler is too. It’s a few of the major joint bases, major naval sub bases, major command and control center. Plus all of the ICBM silos.I have to believe more than that: Bolling, Site R, Camp David, Andrews, Mt. Weather, Naval Observatory, Offutt, Barkesdale, Cheyenne Mountain, Kings Bay, maybe the missile fields in North Dakota, Montana and Wyoming (although they would be hitting empty silos,) the VLF transmission station at Cutler, ME, a few select cable landings.
We might find out whether there was a bomb in the attic after all.

That's what she said.It doesn't matter where you go. If a nuclear war starts it will be the end of the world
Not necessarily...It doesn't matter where you go. If a nuclear war starts it will be the end of the world
I assure you that Ashburn, VA will also be targeted.....I have to believe more than that: Bolling, Site R, Camp David, Andrews, Mt. Weather, Naval Observatory, Offutt, Barkesdale, Cheyenne Mountain, Kings Bay, maybe the missile fields in North Dakota, Montana and Wyoming (although they would be hitting empty silos,) the VLF transmission station at Cutler, ME, a few select cable landings.

Even though we agreed to it previously? When Ukraine (the country with the most nukes in the world at the time) gave up its nukes upon the breakup of the USSR, we and (no joke) Russia guaranteed Ukraine "assistance" should it ever be attacked.
I generally agree we shouldn't get involved where we don't belong, but we should live up to our word.
Oddly I'm disappointed Baltimore wouldn't be on that list...I live between Camp David, Ft Deitrick (sp?), Ft Meade, DC. I can't imagine the Russians would waste a nuke on Baltimore, as the democrats have already destroyed it.
