A newly released “doomsday map” has highlighted seven possible U.S. targets for a Russian nuclear strike, sparking fears of World War III. The suggested targets reportedly include major cities, military bases, and key infrastructure.
Global tensions have worsened, with “Iran and Israel” recently trading missiles and the Russia-Ukraine war dragging on. The U.S. remains deeply involved by supplying aid and weapons to Ukraine, despite Moscow’s repeated warnings. Analysts warn this could make America “a direct target if tensions spiral out of control.”
Russia has escalated its threats in response to U.S. sanctions and arms deliveries, reviving Cold War-era fears. Officials in Moscow have even hinted at “retaliatory strikes.”
The situation intensified after President Joe Biden approved a classified decision on the conflict. Russian leaders reacted with anger, warning of “grave consequences” and hinting at attacks on U.S. assets.
While experts say nuclear war is unlikely, the map and rhetoric underline how fragile global peace remains.
