B61 is fine, though time to deliver may take a while. Half a day or so for a B2 flying from the US, for example.


Single Trident launch is terrible, because you just revealed the location of 23 other Tridents and anyone with half a brain will drop a Max Load MIRVed heavy ICBM onto that location to eliminate those 23 Tridents because the farthest that sub can go is less than 15nmi in half an hour.


You'd be much better off sending a Minuteman as your "Last warning, (expletives deleted)."





SLCM-N is a terrible idea, but the "last warning" is a necessary capability.




Bluntly, because the KGB doesn't, has never, believe(ed) US public statements. They always see the statements as propaganda for either internal or external consumption, not an honest statement of intent.
