Exactly. They are short-sited. By your own words if they knew about all that they would have plans in place on how to handle those very situations in which you name.

you're using the past to define a future certainty. don't. it's like playing chess and having to look at the entire board. if we do this then what does that say to the rest of the world? we won't use it, enemies know that, but what does that mean we really will use? there's a lot of having to act crazy in the game now since it's not ussr v. usa, but any crazy guy with a lot of money and control over others (n. korea) can get the usa's attention; and, sadly, you have to show them that you can out crazy them to the rest of the world so the rest of the world will likely back you in a situation because of that giant economy and military.
it makes more sense to be able to knock out enemy communications and improve our own through researching the ionosphere than causing seismic shifts through out the earth's surface even though that's more dependent on the earth's crustal plates floating on the upper mantle (little geology goes a long way) than anything with the ionosphere.
