hitting all, or enough of them would irradiate the atmosphere to such a degree that within days, the fallout from your own bombs is blowing back in your face.

edit: adding that thermonuclear weapons
of sufficient size are capable of things like, pushing the earth into a higher orbit, fracturing tectonic plates, global scale tsunamis, blasting palpable chucks of earth off-world, up to and including triggering a self sustaining nitrogen fusion reaction that would propagate through the atmosphere in mere seconds.
acckkttuually, the curvature of the earth would prevent one from blasting a land mass the size of texas or france with a single detonation. What
could hit a land mass that size, or even the continental U.S. is the E.M.P. from a high-atmosphere detonation of a 75+ megaton thermonuke.
