We're still only talking nukes, though. What about all the nightmarish concoctions that were coming out of the Soviet's Biopreparat program? Ken Alibekov in his book "Biohazard" details how the Soviets asked him what would be needed to arm ICBM's with biological warfare agents.
Though granted once the ICBM's start flying, all bets are off.

"The use of force is always an answer to problems. Whether or not it's a satisfactory answer depends on a number of things, not least the personality of the person making the determination. Force isn't an attractive answer, though. I would not be true to myself or to the people I served with in 1970 if I did not make that realization clear."
