Well if anything, us hitting them and dropping them lower would have helped with that tiering issue. Less infra and fewer nukes inflating those scores would have left them in a far better position to down declare. In terms of city count they look very similar to t$ I believe, and they've always managed to contribute to wars even if it meant running with an air heavy strategy. But they didn't do any of that before we hit them and they didn't after we hit them. It really just goes to show their intentions and proves the initial point that whether the impact was direct or indirect, nukebloc getting hit made no meaningful difference.
