Only a piddly nuke, not the citybusters targetted by the hundreds
against the other side that we once had.

So what if some freedom fighters use a 50 KT bomb against Paris or
Chicago?...the world will go on. Zero chance of the widespread forest
fires (essentially the ignition of the northern hemisphere's great
forests) needed for the Carl Sagan/Helen Caldicott "nuclear winter"
scenario.

You need to get educated about magnitudes, probability, etc.
