Chilling ​​Declassified Documents Reveal Top U.S. Target if Russia Wages Nuclear Armageddon

Recently declassified documents have unveiled a chilling revelation regarding the primary target in the event of a nuclear conflict.

Classified under the title "General Nuclear War," these files, previously withheld from the public eye by the US government, shed light on the harrowing fate awaiting the nation's capital, Washington DC, in such a catastrophic scenario.

The disclosure, initially brought to public attention by The Daily Mail, outlines a grim narrative wherein Washington DC would bear the brunt of a devastating surprise attack, with a one megaton thermonuclear bomb at its epicenter.

Andrew Weber, former assistant secretary of defense for nuclear, chemical and biological defense programs, emphasized the profound fear within Washington's corridors of power regarding such a "Bolt out of the Blue" attack.

The term "Bolt out of the Blue" aptly describes an attack devoid of any forewarning, unleashing a violently destructive blast characterized by temperatures soaring into the millions of degrees.

The ensuing inferno would spawn a colossal fireball expanding at velocities reaching millions of miles per hour, leading to the rupture of concrete, liquefaction or vaporization of metal, fracturing of stone and instantaneous carbonization of individuals, as reported by The Sun.

Former Federal Emergency Management Agency director Craig Fugate, speaking to the Daily Mail, acknowledges that survival hinges solely on individual preparedness.

He urges a shift away from the psychological barrier that shies away from contemplating such horrors, emphasizing the imperative of readiness and equipping people with the knowledge to safeguard themselves.

In a revealing ABC interview dating back to 2010, an anonymous official intimately “involved in the planning” for potential nuclear strikes offered a glimmer of hope, asserting that survivability surpasses common perception, stating, “The key is avoiding nuclear fallout.”

These revelations emerge against the backdrop of Russian President Vladimir Putin's ominous rhetoric, where he has unabashedly declared the readiness to utilize nuclear armaments.

Putin's assertions, conveyed through Russian state media in March, underscore the stark reality of nuclear tensions, even as he claims that the employment of such weapons has not yet become a necessity for his regime.
