Nuclear weapons

Did you know that the southeastern part of Illinois is now a likely first-strike target? You'll likely never believe the reason why.

We know that Missouri would be a likely early target if a worst-case scenario first strike nuclear attack ever happened, but there's a new area that I've never heard mentioned before that has emerged and it could be devastating.

I watch a lot of disaster movies. That's something you should know about me. That's probably why I've educated myself about where nuclear weapons are manufactured and guess what? Almost all of them originate or go through Missouri.

It's not exactly breaking news that all of America would have a very bad day if we ever face a worst-case scenario of an all-out nuclear attack. But, one Illinois place in particular has been named as one of the most at-risk if suddenly the world becomes apocalypse now.

This is what happens when you ask a question then completely regret it when you get the answer. Out of a morbid sense of curiosity, I decided to research what would happen if nuclear weapons were airburst over the biggest cities in Missouri. The result is the ultimate horror story.

Let's hope this scenario remains science fiction and/or the plot line for made-for-TV movies. A new video theorizes why Missouri would be one of the first prime targets if the Russians ever decided to try and take us out with nukes. Let's explore why.

Thanks to a recent movie, atomic bombs and nuclear weapons are back at the forefront of conversation. There's a new target map for 2023 and a recent simulation which shows why Missouri would be a prime target if the worst-case scenario of nuclear war happens.

Of all the worst-case scenarios you can imagine for St. Louis, Missouri, this would be at the top. Experts have now estimated what would happen if a nuclear attack happened in the Gateway City. As you might imagine, it's not a pretty sight.

This will never happen. I repeat. This will NEVER happen. I'm only sharing to help you understand how powerful nuclear weapons have become. A simulation shows what would happen IF Russia decided Hannibal needed to be eliminated.

If you've been following the news lately (*shudder*), you've maybe noticed that relations with Russia aren't great right now. That made me wonder how our part of America would endure a worst case scenario. I have compiled a pretty somber list of the targets in the tri-states that FEMA believes would be in jeopardy if Russia were ever dare to attack us.
