What Is The Nuclear Threat To Big Sky Country?
How Likely Is Montana To Get Hit With A Nuclear Weapon?
Turns out this is a pretty loaded question, and the answer depends on where you look. I'm wondering if most of the answers I see are pure speculation or actual figures, but it's all we've really got to go on. However, no matter how high or low we are on the list, we are still on the list.
According to Unilad:
Nuclear historian Professor Alex Wellerstein, of Stevens Institute of Technology, believes that it depends on who is firing the weapon.
If the adversary is Russia and their goal is to disable US retaliation, command centers and ICBM sites will be hit first. If the attacker is a rogue actor, symbolic or densely populated areas might be targeted instead.
This actually makes a lot of sense to me, and I completely agree. But, it doesn't matter what I think. The fact is, we live where there are nuclear weapons stored.

My dad used to say not to worry about it because everyone in Central Montana will be dead in a matter of seconds if Malmstrom is targeted. That's absolutely true, but somehow doesn't offer much comfort.
I thought about talking about how to survive a nuclear attack, but why? Montana has nukes that the world would love to see gone. I sure hope worst case scenario isn't our best chance. I really like living in Montana.
