When I was there in '96 you wouldn't get served in stores or restaurants, people would actively avoid you in the streets - until you clarified that your were Australian and not American.

Odd- I have no memory of such treatment, although I was rather young at the time and my memory is slightly sketchy.

I do remember, whilst riding the Tokyo subways, a few icy looks from elder folk...

everybody is talking about the nuklear air burst which don´t contaminate the soil. a airbursted nuke wouldn´t destroy or contaminate a city like new york. well nice, but NK wont go for an air burst. they´ll go for the option which creates the highest damage.

The option that does the greatest damage is an airburst.
The option that produces the most fallout is a groundburst.

Choose one.

Which is a high airburst.

The lower you go the more energy you waste smashing things already dead and eventually in vaporizing them once the fireball starts coming into contact with the ground.
