Nuclear devices are small anyway.

Not especially, unless you like holding lumps of raw plutonium. It's the bits round them that counts.
The question the pro-nuke guys need to answer is why it's so good to have them? If you have to use them, it's too late, if you don't have them to use the effect is the same anyway, absent deterrent, which doesn't work the way it used to. Is the cost worth it when you consider what else you could do with the money and effort? Put it into nuclear decommissioning talks with the other nuclear powers, like in the 80s? Why did that go out of fashion anyway? Rather a good idea, you can tell because the neo-cons *hated* it.
