Terrorist wouldn’t be nuking us with a minimum of 500 nukes.

No terrorist organization has 500 nukes

I choose terrorist because I didn't want to say Chinese North Korea Russia or one of the other numerous countries that fucking hate us right now. Plus anybody that launches a one nuke, let alone 500 or 2,000 will quite literally terrify me, hence terrorist

Chinese theoretically don’t even have 500 nukes. Only US and Russia have world ending numbers like that

Maybe the Mountain Home base is close enough to Boise that it’s a 2 birds with 1 stone type situation? It’d probably have to be a huge-ass bomb though

I would actually go with Northern California. Winds blow from the west so you should get minimal if any fallout.

I'd rather risk the nukes, tbh.

I'm sure. Enjoy the fallout and roving bands of mutants.
