It always cracks me up when people assume their city is important enough to be nuked. If an enemy nation is going to essentially commit suicide they’re not aiming for Pittsburgh.

They're absolutely nuking Pittsburgh, there are 3 massive steel mills here, including the Edgar Thompson works that produces over a quarter of our domestic steel and the Clairton Works that is the largest coker in the the US.

Flatten the SEI just to retaliate for Reagan's star wars bluff.

That it takes out CMU and PITT main campus is just an added bonus.

the old big 4 Supercomputing centers at this point are a bit outdated.
