I think your version of realism is heavily skewed and full of logic holes.
So NYC gets destroyed by a nuclear missile but for some reason everyone in the military is so retarded they can't say boo without the head giving the OK to retaliate? That's not how any of this works.
Also, my Wyoming example was meant to illustrate scale, distance, and the naturally decentralized arrangement of power across the US. NYC gets destroyed. How does that affect Pittsburgh? Or Chicago? Or Houston? Or Seattle? Much less the hundreds of millions of people who don't live in major metro areas.
You seem to want to prove the US would collapse instantly from a nuclear strike. I keep pointing out why that wouldn't really affect anything and you keep returning with the idea the US is one giant body and if the head dies we all die
This is not, and never will be, the case. You should pull out a map and really understand what the US is before claiming we'd all submit and die instantly from an attack.
