And who're going to fight this way? Mexicans or Canadians? BTW, Soviet tactical nukes of 50's can also be delivered by mortar launchers, but at least it has some sense, because they are intended to be used against NATO forces on our own continent. Right now they are considered obsolete. There are low range mobile missile launcher for that. E.g. Iskanders (SS-26 Stone) in Kaliningrad are able to deliver a 50kt nuke (which is worth 3.5 Hiroshimas) to Warsaw in less than 2 minutes.

What? Please be more specific here. What exactly Putin did? You Americans are like kids. Right now Russia simply replaces SS-18 (Satan) with RS-28 (Satan 2). That's not some revamp or an arm race. That's just a planned upgrade of obsolete weapons - they have served their time and have to be utilized. What's wrong with that? Do you still drive Ford of 30's? The same applies to ICBM's - we have to replace them by the newer ones.
