When resources permit, build a new Command Center within the safety of your original base. When it's done, fly it west and deploy a garrison to defend it. Siege Tanks will be especially effective here perched on high ground, but don't neglect to include Bunkers and Missile Turrets in your formula. Attach a Nuclear Silo to your Command Center when you can, and start gathering more resources from your new location.
Your original base will continue to attract most of the enemy's attention. At this point you may wish to send a force of Marines, Goliaths, and Siege Tanks east to claim the other resource node. Build a Command Center and fly it over as you did before, and build another Nuclear Silo when you get there. By now you should have plenty of resources rolling in, and you should be able to build plenty of Wraiths and make Nukes continuously. Make sure your Ghosts are fully upgraded with Personnel Cloaking, Ocular Implants, and Moebius Reactors, and then prepare to Nuke your way toward either objective.
Use Ghosts to drop Nukes on Missile Turrets, which tend to be surrounded by plenty of enemy units; then bring in the Wraiths to clean up. Fly away when the enemy uses Comsat, and repeat the process until he's out of energy. You'll need to work more slowly than you would probably like, but if you have two Nuclear Silos, you'll find that you can tear a hole in the Terran defenses rather quickly. Once you destroy all enemy Nuclear Silos in the southeast, or all Physics Labs in the northeast, your mission is accomplished.
