Do you need to go back to science class? Nuclear weapons would effect everyone. Its not like a cluster bomb or even a biological weapon. This is why the idea of MAD was created. Look at chernobyl. Over 20 years later, the land is still unihabitable, and this was just a small melt down. No where near what an actual cold war missile would do. If a modern warhead was deployed on the west coast, nuclear fallout would cause cancer and death throughout the country.
Also, do you understand what the SS18 missiles are capable of. Multiple Independent Reentry Vehicle or MIRVs missiles shot one main missle from there silo, then it can break apart and send 10 diffrent warheads to 10 diffrent targets, thousands of miles apart. New York, LA, Washington DC, Chicago, Detroit, Seattle, Denver, Boston, San Daigo, and Tampa could all be taken out by one of these ss18 missiles. This is why there nickname was the ss18 SATAN. Remember, these were developed 20-30 years ago (Started making the SS18 series rockets in the mid 70's, the mod 4's in 1980 and more changes later through the 80's) You don't think that North Korea will ever be able to acheive something like that?
So what your saying is that one missle can't destory the entire economy of the US. Umm, you might want to look into that a little bit more.
