What If A Nuke Detonated In Los Angeles?

As the Deep State continues its desperate push to cause as much chaos as possible before Trump takes office with the overthrow of Assad in Syria and deeper strikes into Russia causing Putin to loosen his nuclear weapons doctrine, Newsweek recently published a harrowing analysis showing the effect of a R-36M2 missile impact in major U.S. cities.
Also know as SS-18 "Satan", the nuclear-grade missile is a cornerstone of the Russian arsenal since the Soviet Union with a range of up to 10,000 miles and yield of 20 megatons (over 1,000x Hiroshima). Just one impact in any major U.S. city would dwarf America's WWII losses in minutes, to wit:
Washington, D.C.: Approximately 6.1 million people would be within the total blast range, with fatalities reaching 1.64 million. Capitol Hill would fall within the fireball radius being melted.
New York City: With an average of 16.3 million people present, fatalities could exceed 5.46 million. The destruction would extend to surrounding areas like New Brunswick and Stamford.
Chicago: Fatalities might approach 2 million, with Lake Michigan absorbing much of the fallout.
Houston: In this city, over 1.2 million deaths and 2 million injuries are estimated.
Phoenix, Philadelphia, San Antonio, San Diego, and Dallas: Each city would suffer extensive casualties and injuries, with death tolls ranging from nearly 1 million in Phoenix to 1.6 million in Philadelphia.
Behind NYC, the most devastating metropolitan blast would occur in Los Angeles. Per Newsweek:
“Some 2,758,790 would die and 4,369,390 would be injured. In any given 24-hour period, there are on average 12,092,715 people in the full blast range (all four circles) of the simulated detonation. Thermal radiation would hit Santa Monica, Calabasas, Long Beach and parts of Pomona.”
In the above image, the “fireball radius” (small inner yellow circle) is the zone in which everything would be vaporized by intense heat rising to millions of degrees Fahrenheit. This would reach around 15.1 square miles of surface area. The more moderate blast damage radius (inner gray circle) covers 442 square miles of the blast and would destroy residential buildings, causing widespread fires.
Anyone within 2,360 square miles of the explosion (the thermal radiation radius: wider orange circle) would be at risk of suffering third-degree skin burns, "often painless because they destroy the pain nerves," which can cause severe scarring, disablement and require amputation.
Within the light blast damage radius (wider gray circle), 3,490 square miles from the blast, glass windows should be expected to break.
Thank you Victoria Nuland…
An LA-based nuclear blast is also the core plot of the new upcoming movie Homestead by Angel Studios. In 2023, Angel released Sounds of Freedom, which grossed $250 million against a $14.5 million budget. It has become one of the most successful independent films in history and exposed the horrors of child trafficking. Now they've returned with a not-so-cheery Christmas movie:

our mission:
to widen the scope of financial, economic and political information available to the professional investing public.
to skeptically examine and, where necessary, attack the flaccid institution that financial journalism has become.
to liberate oppressed knowledge.
to provide analysis uninhibited by political constraint.
to facilitate information's unending quest for freedom.
our method: pseudonymous speech...
Anonymity is a shield from the tyranny of the majority. it thus exemplifies the purpose behind the bill of rights, and of the first amendment in particular: to protect unpopular individuals from retaliation-- and their ideas from suppression-- at the hand of an intolerant society.
...responsibly used.
The right to remain anonymous may be abused when it shields fraudulent conduct. but political speech by its nature will sometimes have unpalatable consequences, and, in general, our society accords greater weight to the value of free speech than to the dangers of its misuse.
Though often maligned (typically by those frustrated by an inability to engage in ad hominem attacks) anonymous speech has a long and storied history in the united states. used by the likes of mark twain (aka samuel langhorne clemens) to criticize common ignorance, and perhaps most famously by alexander hamilton, james madison and john jay (aka publius) to write the federalist papers, we think ourselves in good company in using one or another nom de plume. particularly in light of an emerging trend against vocalizing public dissent in the united states, we believe in the critical importance of anonymity and its role in dissident speech. like the economist magazine, we also believe that keeping authorship anonymous moves the focus of discussion to the content of speech and away from the speaker- as it should be. we believe not only that you should be comfortable with anonymous speech in such an environment, but that you should be suspicious of any speech that isn't.
