First we are talking more about the morale and societal issues than a full out nuclear war.
Secondly the US right now could win a nuclear war in the classic sense of winning. The Chinese haven't caught up yet, and the Russians are too poor to keep their equipment functioning. The Islamic states and North Korea can not threaten us yet.
We could obliterate our traditional enemies while suffering little in return. Our submarines are unchallenged, the soviet fleet is rotting, quite literally. Our battlefield intelligence is superior, as is the training of our troops.
If we were as evil as some would like to believe we would quite literally rule the world.
This won't last much longer, and we will end up in another cold war with a brutal communist power in the Chinese, but for now we reign supreme.
