Why is Austin targeted?
Does the Emperor Boy know someone that lives there?
This is why we should keep an eye on this. Nothing is more dangerous then a fearful world leader thats fighting to show his people how great he is.

That's probably not Austin, Tx they are targeting.. that's probably Fort Hood, Tx, one of the largest military bases in the U.S. It's only 60 miles north of Austin.

Syria is a good example of this going on right now, colonial England is another, the Goths are another, and I know others will think of more.

Who would be an example of this?
One member of a state-run research institute pointed out that North Korea in principle has the technology to hit the U.S. mainland with an intercontinental ballistic missile. "Through the successful rocket launch in December, North Korea is believed to have developed an ICBM with a maximum range of more than 10,000 km," he said.
The expert, who asked to remain anonymous, speculated this could be used to deliver a so-called electromagnetic pulse bomb.
One way of delivering a destructive electromagnetic pulse could be to detonate a nuclear weapon at high altitude in an effort to incapacitate all electric systems and electronic devices.
An official with the state-run Korea Institute for Defense Analyses here told a National Assembly hearing in 2009, "North Korea is capable of using a small nuclear warhead in the form of an EMP bomb." The official added, "If a 20 kt nuclear weapon explodes 40 to 60 km above the East Sea, all weapons equipped with electronic equipment on the Korean Peninsula could become incapacitated."
All intelligence indicators received and processed by GIS/Defense & Foreign
Affairs show that the nuclear weapon tested by the Democratic People’s
Republic of Korea (North Korea) on Feb. 12, was paid for, and intended for, the
Islamic Republic of Iran.
It was, in essence, a test of an Iranian nuclear weapon, and involved scientific as
well as financial involvement by the Iranian government.
The Feb. 12, weapon was below the boosted fission level weapon. There was a large satcom terminal near the entrance to the test site (which was unusual), and it was believed that this was because the weapon was, indeed, a joint Iranian-North Korean weapon, and was, in fact, funded by Iran.
Intelligence sources noted that there were significant numbers of Iranians present at the test site.
