This is actually a great plot for a supervillain in a movie. Simultaneously detonate all nuclear weapons on Earth, albeit at 3% of it's power. That would seriously fuck us up.

Why?

Most nukes are underground, so most of the fallout would be contained. And the result would be a world not fearing anymore for accidental or intentionally nuclear anhilation.

So most would consider that supervillain a super hero.

It would work if the villain sells conventional weapons - we've been itching for a conventional world war for a while now, and nukes are the only reason we've not been able to.

That does actually sound like a good plot - do something ostensibly "villainous" by stripping countries of their beloved nukes, but be hailed a hero for it. As in, it would be an actually smart way for a villain to rehabilitate their image. And then, you know, 10 years down the line they could build their own super-weapon, perhaps. This is why I'm not a screenwriter.

It would cause a lot of localized damage but certainly not global.
