From THS 2100 to ATE 2200

So the ATE campaign idea I'm thinking about is starting with THS2100+ and having the USA vs China conflict turn into World War III/Solar System War I, dragging the EU, PRA, TSA, Luna, belt and everyone else into the conflict, if only in self defense. So nukes/AM, swarms, AKVs, bio-weapons, etc all get unleashed. All major concentrations of civilization get targeted. Not all are destroyed, but everyone gets hurt.

Earth and Mars orbit becomes a gauntlet, that no one has the resources to clear or risk going back to for decades. Latent kill systems on Earth continue to zap attempts to rebuild for decades too.

Slowly isolated Far Beyond, Luna, and maybe other clumps of civilization climb back up and become self supporting and able to have resources able to head back to earth to check things out.

Questions:
How feasible do folks think it is for such a conflict?

Does knocking space communities hard enough for it to take decades for them to recover seem feasible?
