I don't like it when you're watching me eat.
I forgot just how crazy the story gets here, and it really plants some seeds for MGS2's start

Right. If Liquid launches a nuke at Russia, (regardless of what specific weapon fired the nuke), Russia will be able to trace trajectory* and see "Hey, that thing came at us from Alaska, which is part of America. WTF, America?"

Now America could go, "Ah, ah, ah, terrorists took over our nuclear weapons disposal facility and fired that, not us." But then they still have to explain 1) How did the terrorists build a launch platform for a nuclear warhead that has Intercontinental capabilities? 2) Why did America not let their allies know that terrorists had taken over said site? 3) How long have they been there? 4) What have you been doing all this time to stop them?

*Yes, Metal Gear is capable of "stealth launch", but I think that is referring more to "it doesn't use rocket propulsion which is how traditional nuclear bombs/rockets get picket up by counter measures" and less "It materializes a bomb from the shadows, completely unseen until detonation"
