I have no idea what targets would be left un touched in the U.S.A. But with 1800 strategic warheads I would expect the Russians would have some allocated to cover targets located in U.S. allies. (edit to add.. That were out of range of non strategic systems.) Leaving non US NATO and ANZUS military targets un touched seems rather silly to me. If nothing else taking out inteligence and C3I related sites and perhaps military airfields located in US allies would seem a prudent course of action for the Russians. (If only to make it harder for the U.S. to re constitute their strategic bomber force.)With Russias 1800 and Chinas 100 long range nukes on somewhat less delivery systems what targets in the USA are going to be left alone so Australia can eat a nuke or 10?
The Chinese may not have enough warheads to do this.
2nd edit to add...
I doubt the Russians would have more than a few dozen targets in formal US Allies (mostly in Canada and Australia IMHO) that they would want to target with strategic weapons in a general exchange with the U.S. that they couldn't cover with tactical weapons.
