The old industrial cities of the midwest strike me as being safe. Who'd blow up Pittsburgh or Cleveland?

Perhaps it makes it more likely that there are only two weapons - but I would argue that it increases the probability that the weapons are already emplaced and ready to go. I don't see it as lessening the threat.<br />The Old Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09854776544931267722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6198442674791729773.post-886304634371497612017-09-05T14:37:30.300-04:002017-09-05T14:37:30.300-04:00What if there are also Chinese agents sitting on b...What if there are also Chinese agents sitting on bombs in those locations?

But he's got to take out the Navy (for his Chinese masters) so Pearl and Sandy Eggo seem like tops on the hit parade. The more he emplaces, the greater chance of discovery so 2 seems like the optimal number.<br />Just my opinion, I'm an old ground pounder, not a high-speed, low-drag type.The Old Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09854776544931267722noreply@blogger.com
