I disagree with the conclusion that should the US drop the land based ICBM in favor of dispersed B-21s there are no targets left to hit in the US. ICBMs are weapons of mass destruction.... What the US should do is bring back the Midgetman, immediately.

Yeah, dropping the land-based ICBM is about as dumb of an idea as there is.

I hope that this is only a political stance, the Polish leaders are too influenced by their unfortunate historical past to be reliable in a crisis such as the Cuban missile crisis.
Fidel castro was even less stable and Khrushchev didn't find that out until it was far too late.

I'm kinda surprised that they used the equivalent of 16 tons of TNT for their test shot.

I was expecting closer to 100 tons.

16 tons is a very low end fizzle!
 
Probably all they could afford.

Speaking of tests---in the 50's and 60's, nukes of all sizes were shot off left and right---about the same numbers as a limited India/Pak exchange---which Naftali and other historians assert would wreck planet Earth:

Thoughts?
The difference is that the tests were set up in areas with minimal immediate effects (as understood at the time), and with minimal fallout.

While an India-Pakistan exchange would deliberately maximize immediate effects and fallout.
