Looks pretty close from RightWhale's point of view. One nuked city would be tough on the whole country. 3 nuked cities would be disaster and very difficult to deal with, but not total devastation. Recovery would come, but in time, not quickly. And that is America, which would be able to cope with such things to a degree. Any other country would be devastated.

One nuked city would be a total economic disaster since the threat of more bombs would empty our cities.
