This crap again???
This “attack Map” is hugely outdated, and based on a late-70’s FEMA Targets study. Many of the installations shown as targets, especially the factories, Chemical sites, etc., are long gone, as are some of the bases.
Heck some of the cities look like they were already hit with a nuke.
Anyone looking to occupy would make a few major strikes, and wait for the fallout and the left over folks to do the rest. Widespread destruction of infrastructure would be counterproductive.
However, a widespread 'loss of civility' among survivors would thin the herd and expend munitions and resources among those most likely to resist invasion, and those who survived that might be more inclined to surrender to anyone who promised them food and medical care.
I think oil pipeline hubs might be on a newer map, with major power grid intersections, and some road and rail.
Reality is that significant EMPs could stop most transport in its tracks. Hopefully for those near rail lines, all the old tank (steam) engines haven't been scrapped. I don't see the Diesel/Electrics lasting through that sort of zot.
If the objective is terror and collapsing world financial institutions, I expect the bombs would go where they cause the most horror and confusion and the least severe damage. Panicked people would account for the rest.
Americans have been candy-assed enough that they might be slow to respond with nuclear assets, and might not even have a distinct strategic target to fire upon. The ensuing power play might conclude with the missiles still in the silos and the bombs still in the magazines.
