dreaming a little more. as the pentagon has planned for everything, i expect the military has the resources to deploy special forces within days to extinguish any terrorist organization that is responsible for a nuke attack, no matter where it happens.
the real issue is how many nukes go off, & where. the US has redundancies where wall street can be replaced by chicago. DC would be replaced by NORAD.
beyond the catastrophic loss of people & property, its true that the financial calamity would be global. it would be akin to a multi week or monthlong power outage & people would not have access to cash for food & life. think of it like new orleans after katrina. there is simply not enough cops on earth to preserve the way things are.
depending on who survives, the chinese or the russians may replace the USA as the global superpower, at least for a generation.
i simply hope it never happens.
