you forget that in the cities the riots will happen in the police will be told to stand down, and the National guard will not be requested (see protests, 2020) foreign intervention is only posable if major strategic positions are taken (nuke silos, the pentagon major army bases) and these places will still have the main military on very high alert. the protests will just continue like normal and they might be a little larger but they wont leave the cities, and any attempt to take a military base will end like the Area 51 "raid"
eh, cities can burn, they can be rebuilt (maybe, wont get fedral funding for rebuilding if they dont request the National guard/trump wins) while lives will be lost and even bad optics for losing a city or two, from a win a war stand point, cities dont really offer much in the way of Strategic points, cities with bases/ navy ports being the exemption. but losing detroit... yea no skin of the nations nose.
