Chinese nuke map of Western US

[nikimcbee]

Wow, this is so 1980s. When I first saw the story, I said "meh, get in line." Another country that wants to nuke us.
Then I looked at the map, and there is nothing important in Ore-gone.. (according to media-types, Oregon is the most important/special/unique/pretty/ state in the union.) They want to hit Boise, ID, but not here. Actually, they probably have too many ex-pats spy...working in the semiconductor industry to nuke Portland.

looks like they are only targeting liberals

cant see the point in not targeting military bases or our nuke sights? but maybe they already own them so they don't have to

China is just following Japan's lead. Everybody bombs Oregon.

Notice, San Fran....(Chinatown), not in bomb sights.

Paging George Noory.

Especially SEC football., sorry, I couldn't resist.

[Platapus]

The DF-5 and DF31a can hit any target in the US.

What on Earth has upset the PRC so much in Seattle and Portland?

Oh...wait...I know...

This is the last mission from World in Conflict isn't it?

You know, that bit where the PRC suddenly breaks with decades of anti-Soviet feelings and decides to help reinforce the beachhead at Seattle, so you have to take Seattle before the PLAN gets there or the US will have to nuke the city.

Must be that.

I remember that mission. Sawyer was a madman, but at least we stopped the chinese. And putting Whitesnake at the end was a gem

I must admit, I enjoyed the whole storyline as a whole, nuts in terms of plausibility (aside from the European missions and the raids on Russia) but good fun. The last cutscene of Cascade Falls was a memorable one too, and ye gods, holding the line around there was tough, I must have napalmed the forest around the bridges a dozen times.
Good game, a good game.

[Betonov]

That game really needs a sequel

The article does mention San Francisco as a target.

[nikimcbee]

Heavily influenced by Soviet naval models that stressed underwater forces, China’s nuclear submarine development began with the reverse-engineering of a Soviet Golf-class conventional-powered sub in the 1950s.

Now there's a shocker.

@Ducimus
SLC\Happy Valley isn't on the map either.

Ha. There'll still be more. They'd need to get both coasts to get all the liberals.

They probably have some sort of virus in our systems that they put in there when they hacked us last.

It'll shut down all of our weapon systems.

At least I'll be safe where I am until the fallout shows up.

[Stealhead]

Well there used to be a good deal of missile silos out that way during the Cold War (but more in the Dakotas) still at the time that might have been their max range.

All that being said we have attack plans for nuclear war just like they do so really I do not see the problem.We have equally deadly plans for China and Russia in the event of a nuclear war.

It seems like that is more of a fallout map the area they would mast want to hit especially in a first strike would our silos scattered across the Dakotas and parts of Washington and Oregon.

@Red they can hit every square inch of the US.

Here is a link to a PDF by chapter on a study of a war between the US and China.Interesting but more strategic rather than the saber rattling Chinese news and the saber rattly counters already linked.

The US knows much about China we just do not brag about it like they do.Spying is only so useful after all it is not the only tool and is only tool that is used to estimate.

With over a billion citizens there are plently that will take coin for spying against their own government or will do it for other reasons.
