If there were to be a nuclear attack on the U.S. by another country what places in the U.S....

They will first attack where we have military bases, strategic arms buildups, command centers. Then they would attack larger population centers. We would be counter attacking in a similar way, but a lot would depend on what the members of the Trump administration and other GOP members gave Russia in information about our defense mechanisms, they likely have some of our codes and can disable our countermeasures.

High population areas mainly and government. Depends on various scenarios how much is gone, such as the difference between a tactical or a strategic missile. Depending on weather conditions, NY could be taken out while parts of NJ remained unscathed. If the wind is favorable most of the most contaminates will fall out over the water..etc.

If the US was attacked, It would be an all-out war. North America would be gone, so would Russia, China, North Korea and Europe.

If nuclear war broke out we are all dead.
But it is because Russia has them that Ukraine has been left helpless.
And if Ukraine had not been forced to give up the ones that they inherited from the Soviet Union this war would not be happening.
The USA will not fire one at Russia ( not first anyway)-but i fear Putin -who is clearly insane-would be mad enough.
And it would be aimed at Washington to take out the government.

Swear to god, Americans are itching to get attacked so that all the troops and military tech can be let loose.

As for the nuke strike, it doesn't matter, no one has enough nukes to destroy every US military base.

Always target the population centers, dams, heavy industrial sites, transportation centers and then fixed military bases.

Military bases, government centers, and ports, most likely

Washington and NYC

Washington DC to destroy the government structure any states with oil or natural resources and states with military bases

Putin has shown himself to be a madman, so I take the threat seriously.

There is a theory that even if a country with nukes was attached by nukes, that there should be no response. Why kill millions more people?

If there were to be a nuclear attack on the U.S. by another country what places in the U.S. would they strike?
