I swear to God Oregon is the worst state for hunting.

I need to move to Alaska or Colorado or something. Somewhere where I can chase elk and deer all fall instead of for like two weeks out of the year.

Cold War Fun Fax: Under the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile treaty, both the US and USSR had to choose one, and only one, area they were allowed to protect from attack. The Soviets chose Moscow, being a capital city, a crucial cultural site, very densely populated and critical to the organisation and control of the Soviet Union.

America, ever one to flip its population off while blowing raspberries, decided to shield bumfuck North Dakota where no cunt lived, because that is where the bulk of their nuclear missiles were. America would rather keep its missiles safe for one final 'fuck you' to end the world than protect any one of its massively populated cities or cultural sites.

More Cold War Fun Fax later, in this thread! Stay tuned!

M.A.D. bro. It works.

Specifically speaking, the site chosen by the US was Grand Forks AFB, and it followed a 1974 protocol amended to the treaty to reduce protected sites to one per side as neither side had yet chosen a second.

Also I'd be kind of pissed if they saved New York and not where I live or anywhere else. This country is too big and too populated for peace accords like that to work. That treaty was specifically meant to be on the Soviets side etc.

They had a lot of large cities, too, and many of them weren't actually in Russia.

Close, but no cigar.

Also, they may not descend as gradually, but there are still quite a lot of cities that aren't Moscow and house a substantial amount of people.

Oh, I am aware. But I'm saying that of course the Russians led by a Russian leader at the time chooses the heart of Russia.

I was hoping you'd realize what the British did not when they fought on the soil of North America- there is no true core or center of our country. But Russia has one, so of course that's what they chose to protect.

Yeah but you would have figured they would try and keep some Americans alive, but I guess not.
