The moon was ruled out long ago as a nuclear launch platform (at least against earthlings).
1) sub launched nuclear missiles are much speedier
2) bunker based nuclear weapons are much speedier
3) getting a missile out of moth balls, arming the warhead bringing it to a silo, and then launching it is still speedier
than the 3 days it would take to get a missile from the moon to earth.
Also, the cold war is over and if no one noticed most everyone is disarming and scaling back nuclear stockpiles (except the terrorists).
