But their priorities will be closer to home.
Back in 'The Cold War' days, Australia used to be number three on both the U.S. of A. and U.S.S.R. hit lists.

It'd make sense for Exmouth and Pine Gap to be both be targets given
their strategic importance to the US and the western military.

Personally I'd like to see Mexico City and Rio de Janeiro go up
in smoke. If we have to toss in a token city or two from the
US, Baltimore, San Francisco and Seattle would be fine. Nobody
would ever miss them.

The reason given at the time was that if U.S.A./U.S.S.R. and Europe were taken out, Australia, being resource rich as it was/is, would be bound to become a World power, so it would have been taken out do give the leftover U.S.A./U.S.S.R. and Europe a bit of a chance to rise from the dust!

There isn't a single soul in any of those cities worth saving. Not one. Especially Seattle.
