You would only need to nuke one or 2 major banking centers (New York City, Charlotte NC (surprisingly), Dallas TX, etc) to completely destroy the economy of the US, nuking Norfolk Virginia would cut off the head of the navy (America's greatest ability to project strength is in the navy, nothing else comes remotely close to making you a superpower than controlling the ocean). Nuking Washington DC wouldn't even be necessary. People act like nuclear war is some fallout shit where everything on earth just dies, but no country is fucking retarded enough to invoke mutually assured destruction and a nuclear war would more than likely be limited to a few specific major targets.
This is why we haven't fucked with countries like North Korea and why we're so adamant that nobody gets nuclear weapons (except golden child pissrael) except America and its allies. Because a few nukes alone are enough of a deterrent to avoid an invasion. If destroying an entire nation were necessary to effectively use nuclear warheads, it would not matter if North Korea had 5 tsar bombas, it would have been invaded by now and we wouldn't give a fuck about Iran's nuclear program, because it would take decades for them to have even remotely enough to do anything at all.
America's demographics wouldn't change very much but it would likely segregate very heavily naturally because the jewish government would be unable to exert much noteworthy influence for a pretty good period of time, and a potential revolution caused by instability could remove it entirely.
>Europe's population would revert to 200 years ago.
Similar deal as America. Nuke Brussels, destroy or castrate EU, nuke london, geneva, and frankfurt, destroy european economy, and every country in Europe will revert back to doing their own shit in the fallout caused by it, except it probably would result in the people actually kicking out and/or killing the migrants there.
Globalization makes it so that the carpet bombing and complete nation destruction from history to win is no longer necessary at all. Destroy a bank and out goes the country
not even close to how our military works.
This ignores the pacific fleet, not to mention every other branch of the military. This ignores their (rape) tunnels and underground bases.
Yeah, our military can get fucked up by one city being taken out. Written by a europoor?
I said that Norfolk being nuked, along with the major economic zones, would be enough to make the US capitulate. I chose Norfolk specifically because you could nuke fort Bragg or something, but the army is not how the US projects strength. The US has had a very strong army for ages, in the Civil War it could've gone toe to toe with most European powers, but was never a superpower until the navy was exceeding the Royal Navy and IJN. 4 carrier strike groups, 5 carriers, 4 destroyer squadrons, one submarine squadron? All potentially being destroyed? Or having nowhere to go to if they actually do manage to leave, because Norfolk exclusively, out of almost the entire world, has the capability to support them? Devastation at worst or an absolute logistic nightmare at best. It'd either be MAD or capitulation when combined with the destruction of major economic zones, and it'd more than likely be capitulation.
The head of the most powerful part of the military, as well as banking being gone? What purpose would there even be to continue fighting without MAD?
