But govts can't use those nukes as indiscriminately as they
can black op teams with conventional tools. Nukes mostly
freeze power relationships when (for N=2) 'both' sides get them.
Modulo hardened silos, mirvs, decoys, BMD, etc..
More practically, an engineering question:
Can Sealand's structures withstand a post-gulf-war bunker buster munition?
And a social/engineering one: Can the on-shore endpoints to their
communications withstand meatspace asset seizure?
