   They could have set that in the 1970s or 1980, when the Soviets   
   were planning on nuking Vienna (capital of neutral Austria).   
      
   I am currently reading "A Cardboard Castle?", which has quite a   
   few plans along these lines.  Fascinating, if extremely chilling,   
   reading.  The intransigence of the Romanians vs. the Soviet Union   
   is almost funny to read (if one didn't know what kind of guy   
   Ceaușescu was, and how his regime dealt with internal dissent).
