I was recently rewatching the movie, True Lies, and I was thinking about the ramifications of it. In the movie, the Crimson Jihad, a mythical Arab terrorist group manages somehow to obtain some ex Soviet nukes. They set one off in the Florida Keys and are prevented from nuking a city in Florida. I can imagine that the US will be leaning on the Russians very hard to keep track of their nukes. In addition, if you think that the USA went overboard by invading Afghanistan and Iraq this is going to be worse. The only thing is that the leader of Crimson Jihad and many if not all his followers are dead by the end of the movie. What do you think will happen after this?

- Start date
One other thing that I was thinking about was what if this nuking of the Florida Keys/almost nuking of a US city happened right around the same time as 9/11 in OTL?
