It's been taken off the list now that Atlanta is communist.

There are 3-4x more strategic sites in Louisiana on the nuclear strike list than Georgia.

You really believe they weren't going to nuke the largest port (by tonnage) or the largest oil refinery in the country?

Now, admittedly, while the Soviet Union was extant, Arkansas wasn't an SEC state.. but Little Rock was a target, Pensacola was a target, Shreveport was a target.. just to name a few.


Lake Charles, Baton Rouge, and Nola all were targets for the refining and chemical facilities

So, I’m starting to believe that you don’t like Atlanta.

The number one target in LA is barksdale AFB followed by all the refining locations . All are higher on the list than ATL . Strategic value is how the list was based and ATL doesn't really have that besides the airport

Fake news.

The south was targeted from TX to VA including all the state capitals, the military bases and a multitude of major cities like Charlotte, Dallas etc.

Blow up Atlanta and the entire southeast would unravel.

Fake news or else the Soviets wouldn’t have needed all the other nuclear targets.

Memphis has always been on these lists too for being a major transportation/logistics hub for freight, air, and water

Thanks for the reminder that Arkansas isn't in the Southeast.

This post sucks. It just further cements the fact that, even though we are just half way through April, the worst poster of the year race is over. So much for drama down the stretch.

surely the Soviets would have wanted to wipe out smaller places that have military bases and refining capacity as well. They’d be stupid if they only focused on one factor.

Everyone with just a little knowledge knows Bossier City, LA was a first strike target by the Soviets due to Barksdale AFB because of their B-52s and inventory of ICBMs.

There were enough nuclear equipped bombers and missiles on base to wipe out half the population on earth in a matter of minutes.
