Would You Rather Have a Nuclear Weapon or Do More Damage to Knock Out the Satellites?

Would you rather have a nuclear weapon if you're a terrorist, hit an american city, or would you do more damage to knock out the satellites? I think i just like to look at it back through the lens of the rock paper scissors. Once upon a time somebody invented a bow and arrow, or somebody took a bow and turned it into a compound bow, or a composite bow. These people lostt so talk to me a little about engineering and warfare. Is this just a facet of what engineers do to our whole life, or is there something specific to warfared and the development of engineering in your mind?
