I wish, but it won't. DC is where they live. It's also worthless in the sense that it produces nothing but corruption. To properly frame the Russians it should really be somewhere that produces something valuable or militarily important like Norfolk or San Diego. If the goal is to max out the psychological effect while minimizing meaningful damage, NYC, Honolulu, or Philadelphia probably top the list. I think the most likely scenario is US federal interests detonating it somewhere in or near Ukraine to justify the full scale involvement they're clear after.
