A List Of All The Places People Have Tried To Destroy In Bond Films

Goldfinger: Fort Knox, Kentucky, USA
Thunderball: Miami, Florida, USA
Diamonds Are Forever: Washington DC, USA
The Spy Who Loved Me: New York, New York, USA and Moscow, USSR
Octopussy: "Feldstadt", West Germany*
A View to a Kill: Silicon Valley, California, USA
GoldenEye: London, UK**
Tomorrow Never Dies: Beijing, China
The World Is Not Enough: Istanbul, Turkey

*I assume there was a town around Feldstadt that would be caught up in the nuclear explosion.
**The GoldenEye device technically only destroys electronic circuits, but as was seen in the destruction of Severnaya, there's a hell of a lot of collateral damage which wouldn't have left London in a very good state.

The USA and Russia would have destroyed each other if Blofeld's plot in You Only Live Twice had succeeded, but there weren't any actual targets named.  Hugo Drax also tries to kill everyone on Planet Earth, but the planet itself would be left behind, so that doesn't count.
