...where he blows up 7 to 10 American cities with suitcase nukes.Is a suitcase nuke big enough to blow up an entire city?
My impression is that a suitcase nuke, without the expert technology of US radiologists, would only have a total destruct zone of about 10 city blocks.
Of course that doesn't account for radiation fallout.

The fallout will be insignificant, although from the howling of welfare recipeints and the avalanche of ACLU lawsuits you'd think hell had opened and Satan had barfed on the city.

The experts have talked about suitcase nukes...you immediately hit the deck...let the percussion pass both ways...then run away from it...anyone in the short radius of that nuke will die.
You are right...suitcase nukes will not take a city out...
