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.

Well I hope the day will never come...
Still, if Washington and New York were destroyed by Nuclear bombs your financial and government centre would be eliminated.
And what do you need to wage war and retaliate?
Money and structure.
