How would the Politburo respond to Project A119?

+0
−0

In 1958 the United States Air Force considered a mission to detonate a nuclear device on the surface of the Moon. The endeavour was framed as a booster to American public morale in the wake of the Sputnik shock, as well as a field test of nuclear weaponry in a novel environment (with implications far beyond the battlefield).

Needlessly to say, they did not go ahead with this plan or you would already know about it.

What would have been the Soviet response if this actually happened?
