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?
