Developping a one-of-kind deep strike nuke to nail a high value target like the NORAD rather than just tossing a heavy hitter is a possibility too - more expensive thatn repurposing a city-leveller but it can get handy for others hard targetswher you're at leéast cosmewhat concerned with the collateral damage (to the troops you might send there if not to the locals).

Remember the Soviets tested a 50 MT that would devistate a LARGE area. I think the *Mountain of Doom* would be in a world of hurt, as would the surrounding area. However I wonder IF they had one, and IF the could deliver it with any degree of accuracy. The mountain would survive a near miss I think. They are several thousand feet under a granit mountain!
