If you want to be reminded of the power of nuclear weapons, than read a bit about hiroshima.
Why do you think the US has spy satellites checking data transmissions all over the world? They want to make sure that non allies not get their hands on a bomb that could destroy or break the power of the US.

The effects of even 50 nuclear bombs landing on American soil would cripple America greatly but not destroy us. People over estimate the power of nuclear weapons. Yes, they are much more powerful than any weapon designed to date, but they cannot obliterate a million square miles of country. Plus, no nation on Earth has that much fire power. Our infrastructure is spread out all over this nation. Even if you destroyed DC, our government could continue to operate (hell, probably better. It would remove some of the fat
) Our nuclear subs alone have more fire power than most nations.
Even in a crippled state, America would still be a force to be dealt with.
