But Moscow wasn't the only Warsaw Pact headquarters capital that was targeted.

But it was the only one that counted--the WP armies were completely subordinate to Moscow in a shooting war, and their cee-cubed didn't go through their national capitols.

Among other unclas references, see General Sir John *Shan* Hackett's account of a fictional 1985 Third World War, published in 1978.

And if the C4 didn't go through their national capitols, their raillines generally did. Two birds could be had with one thermonuclear stone there.
