So during the cold war the name of the game was to get the nukes as close to their target as possible so you could reach that target quicker than they could reach yours.

You would want to hide its location (silo) because the most common target would be other nuclear launch sites and if you are close to them, they are equally close to you.

But there is no where more close than within the country itself. It would be absurd to think that governments at that time put no effort into concealment and camouflage.

So what do you think. Do you think there are Russian nukes in this country buried under ground, or nukes in Russia?

You're kind of wrong about the strategy of the cold war. That was only true until we developed ICBMs and SLBMs.

Now, as far as buried nukes are concerned, that's entirely feasible. There were plans made for chicken powered nuclear landmines (no joke), and Russia has shown off some backpack size nukes they've built.

If smugglers can get tons of drugs into the US then terrorists would certainly be able to get a nuke into the country.
