Why are they hating on Austin?

[Flying Dice]

Why are they hating on Austin?

What would the U.S. do if it lost a city in its largest state? Guaranteed panic.

Psssst. Texas isn't the largest state.

Psssst. Texas isn't the largest state.

And here I was hoping that that would be obvious enough to not require a Poe check.

They really should strike somewhere like Abbott, Texas. With only 328 people, it'd be way easier to strike fear into our country by destroying it.

[Cthulhu]

Mark me down for "this was obviously done on purpose as propaganda."

All this shit is just a show for their own citizens.  If North Korea were the only country in the world all of this would still be happening.

With what little money they have as a country that seems like a huge waste of a bombing.

and why Abbot Texas?
(just curious cause its such a specific example...)

[Haspen]

You think it's all propaganda and shit and then they really strike those places

But honestly it's most possibly something like this:

*World worried, North Koreans in doubt*
Kim Jong Un: WE WILL GUIDE THE MOTHERLAND INTO GLORY
*World freaks out, North Koreans cheer*
NK general: Good job, great leader, nation loves you just like the previous great leaders!
Kim Jon Un: C:

[Loud Whispers]

Aw, fascism is adorable C:

I googled "smallest city in Texas" and it came up.

Anything smaller than that stops being a "city" and becomes a compound.

The danger in NK isn't really the leadership, their sole objective is holding onto their power and cushy privileges. The danger lies with the soldiers and mid-level officers who keep hearing the Young General telling them to be ready to attack at any minute, war is right around the corner, and who have been taught since childhood that the SK and US soldiers just across the border are itching to kill them and feast on their flesh.

If a handful of those get too nervous and cause an incident this could escalate almost instantly.

Look up the Soviet Defector Incident, This has happened in the past, and the mid-level officer and soldier who broke the ceasefire were executed.

What about Killeen? I bet they could land a missile in k town, Texas. I mean, they need to shoe their capability, but preferably without triggering our response. No one would mind much.

[misko27]

The thing is you NEVER attack a large city first. You hit some rinky-dink Podunk town in the middle of nowhere, Then the enemy knows you're serious (and presumably back-shit crazy) and concede. It's why during the cold war, all the "nuclear attack on the US" scenarios center around nuking Cleveland.


The US isn't helping matters though. They sent nuclear capable B2 bombers to drill for the first time. Is not good. Don't prove them right.

[Aqizzar]

Man, the fuck does Best Korea have against Austin?  That's like the one good town in Texas.  Not cool dudes, I know it's just propaganda but why ya gotta hate?

I like the Mac desktops.  Definitely a real military command center, you can tell by futuristic they are.
