That is very cool. Great movie. I always thought that Suharto '98 was also the inspiration for Nolan's outside scene in Inception showing 'revolution' in the streets, the first time they tried to set up Saito.
I'd bet the farm it has been repeatedly war-gamed in the event of either a rogue nuke/very limited exchange with the CCP.
The metros that could even remotely hope to sustain the influx of both the Swamptard bourgeois elites and the unfortunate, scorched refugees would be DFW, I think far and away No. 1, possibly Indy as the surprise No. 2.
The more obvious No. 2 choice behind DFW -- Atlanta -- to me, lacks the 2 million acres of flat, undeveloped, exurban land needed for a supremely-rapid Levittown buildup for America 2.0, which would also eliminate the Carolinas.
Chiraq is a non-starter.
No - I will NOT laugh. That would be rude, insensitive, wrong. (snicker)
I guess they were impressed with how Brasilia worked out.

Pres Joko is feelin’ it.
When this country was founded, the District of Columbia was almost directly in the center. When the Civil War began, it was on the Front Line.
But living in a place is completely different than being a business visitor. The types of customs games and overt bribing demanded to do business in Indonesia were off putting. And the city itself seemed like an urban "Heart of Darkness". It wasn't the people. I'd never felt the same sense of "evil" in Malaysia, with similar people. That said, it might be down to a Dutch versus a British colonial foundation.
Nigeria is well known for making sure that the government city of Abaju has all the electricity it needs while the rest of the country has intermittent power.
It is a classic elite power play—telling the peons to pound sand.
When I was in Indonesia the bribing to get even the smallest things done was endless.
My trips there were not an enjoyable experience.
I never felt that way about Malaysia. There was bribing to get thongs done there but not as multilayered. To me it was nothing more then a Southeast Asian version of the latin American “mañana”!
