You know what I would do if I really wanted a nuke capability? Put it in a city. Thousands of buildings, anyone of which could contain uranium processing, bomb assembly, you name it. Just make sure that you put large numbers of civilians in very close proximity. Sure, the US has amazing pinpoint strike capability, but it seems like they could make it very hard to distinguish between legit targets and civilian stuff. Heck, the Russians put a rocket testing facility in some major city, was it Moscow? I think they put it right next to a power plant, and routed the exhaust fumes through the smokestack.
