I have been watching the PBS Ken Burns/Lynn Novick series on Vietnam, an hour or so a night. It's riveting, beautifully edited.

Doesn't matter too much for a "soft" target like Los Angeles, even with low-yield (10-30 kt) warheads.
Feel free to explore whatever options one might want to assume:http://nuclearsecrecy.com/missilemap/

Hmm, you're spot on. Any reasonable CEP doesn't matter.... LA is big enough it gets hit regardless.
-
San Jose, too. There are a few areas in the US where you cannot miss if you have the range and any serious yield.

If I were a hostile power and had doubts about accuracy, and wanted to just cause pain, those are where I would aim. Huge casualties.

Of course, I have no real insight into their targeting philosophy. But we can assume they have the same tools available to them.

Unfortunately I think they'll target population centers instead of attempting counter force...
-
I've seen many people who assume they would try counterforce. I cannot see why they would do that.
-
They do not care about international opinion as far as I can tell. Would they think it would limit US response? I doubt it.

But I don't know the inside of their heads.
