Their findings are unsettling. States clustered along the East Coast and parts of the Midwest may be less likely to take the first direct hits, simply because they lack dense missile fields and certain high\u2011value strategic targets. Yet that relative advantage is fragile and deeply conditional.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-4\"><\/div>\n<p>The central United States, home to vast networks of U.S. missile silos, could face the most immediate danger. Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Nebraska, the Dakotas, Iowa and Minnesota sit near facilities that would almost certainly be targeted in any attempt to cripple America\u2019s nuclear response. But analysts emphasize that in a large\u2011scale conflict, shockwaves would not respect state lines. Major cities, ports, command centers, power grids and military hubs across the country could all be drawn into the fire. The harsh truth remains: in a nuclear World War III, there may be safer places\u2014but there are no truly safe ones.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As talk of global war shifts from fringe fear to mainstream concern, experts are racing to understand what a nuclear exchange would really mean for ordinary Americans&#8230;. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":57280,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-57279","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.1 -
