It seems to me that if a country has nuclear weapons and they are used in an attack, then one should desire them to be delivered by ICBM. Then there is no doubt where it came from and who attacked who. Living on the US Pacific coast, I sure do not like the idea of a North Korea with long range missiles, but they do have many submarines and a few nuclear weapons stealthily delivered by a few of those would have much worse long term consequences for civilization. The re-abandonment of American cities could happen just as they are starting to bloom once again after a long hiatus.
