Having never demonstrated personal courage in a military combat capacity (despite having attended a military academy and having been a natural ROTC candidate), I think the president underestimates courage and resolve. He expects people will cower under threat, a common historical error.

I owned the book! Their Appendix was seldom wrong.

Moses Lake is another site confirmed as a large federal Cold War site. I don't think it was on known target maps. But if Moscow knew and wanted it gone, Moses Lake wouldn't be safe. Pro Tip. Be sure your bunker isn't near a covert nuclear target.

True. Novato did have some fallout protection. It wouldn't be of much use if significant damage occurred to equipment on site. These maps also ignore unacknowledged targets like McDaniel College, confirmed 1984 relo site for Sec of Ag. Maps purely for CD risk planning.

NAPB 90 was last official FEMA nuclear attack risk map. Other colored map was DCPA 1970s. We can infer Novato and other EAS sites don't expect fallout because FEMA offers no radiation protection on site. Personnel would die from radiation. Antennas would succumb to blast.

Zandi recently said he's looking for a 275K+ weekly jobless claims (probably a 4 week moving average) as definite recession indicator. I think markets would for sure react to that. Especially 300K. Otherwise, they'll fade it. Markets need a reason to abandon the AI trade. A real good reason.
