#1 Problem is, if you launch 10 intercontinental conventional missiles, how does Russia or China distinguish them from nukes? They might launch as soon as they see us launch before they have had a chance to see where the missiles were going.

#4 It is not much different to a bomber, how do you know what the bomber got?

Anyway if they hit a target in the Sudan, it is not a problem anyway.
