With a POD no later than Reagan's inauguration on January 20, 1981, create a scenario in which NATO and the Warsaw Pact enter a limited nuclear war with the only ones getting destroyed:
1. Hard underground military targets such as NORAD and ICBM sites in Montana and North Dakota.
2. Surface military targets such as the Pentagon.
3. Only collateral damage on cities wrapped around military bases. So if the Pentagon gets vaporized, only part of Arlington, Virginia would be hit. Or if we hit the naval bases in the State of Washington, only part of Seattle would be destroyed.
4. No nuclear damage at all to major population centers such as New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Houston, Miami, Dallas, Chicago, Tokyo, Seoul, Beijing, Hong Kong, Manila, London, Paris, Moscow, Leningrad, Berlin, Kiev, and others. They can be razed down by conventional means ONLY.
Now please don't tell me this is ASB: Such a scenario may not be likely, but not outside the realm of possibility IMO.
After all, 5% probability events happen 5% of the time. It's roughly the probability of Democrat Kendra Horn winning in Oklahoma's 5th Congressional District in the 2018 midterms in what was considered a safe GOP district*.

*To the moderators: I hope you don't put this in Chat. I'm not discussing modern-day politics here. I'm only comparing probability ratings (5% chance of happening, for example) but will no go further than that into modern-day politics.
