A few months back, the National Security Archive made national headlines when they released a 1956 US target list they had obtained under the Freedom of Information Act. The target list outlined over a thousand Strategic Air Command nuclear targets in the Soviet Union, Eastern Bloc, the People’s Republic of China, and North Korea. The Archive had posted a small graphic of the ones in Eastern Europe, but hadn’t digitized the full list. Several weeks ago, the people at the Future of Life Institute did just this, digitizing the complete dataset — no small task, given that these were spread over several hundred, non-OCR-able pages of smudgy, 60-year-old government documents.

Plans must be in place to cut every underwater cable if shit hits the fan, so i doubt there will be /pol/.

Interesting. I'm going to explore the links.
Thermal radiation radius (3rd degree burns): 2.21 km (15.4 km2)
Third degree burns extend throughout the layers of skin, and are often painless because they destroy the pain nerves. They can cause severe scarring or disablement, and can require amputation. 100% probability for 3rd degree burns at this yield is 8.9 cal/cm2.
Goddam, that shit scary.
SSSHIIIIIEEEEETTTTT

Jesus, Eastern Europe would have looked like a massive version of the Glowing Sea in FO4 if this had happened.

What the hell is on that island right next to Hokkaido?
I doubt Japan would be happy about fallout just leaking into their country.

I don't think anybody would care about japan feelings in case of ww3.
