What are some non American/European targets that would definitely be hit if a full nuclear exchange broke out between the US and USSR in the 1980s when they had over 50,000 nuclear weapons combined?
My pick are the major oil fields in the Middle East and various ports that either side could use in the aftermath.
How far would the US/USSR go in targeting areas simply to deny their use/resources to their opponent?
