Main reason? We're firing from a cruiser. The engineering to mate a surface-to-space missile to a cruiser isn't just a matter of bolting the launcher to the ship.

If I were the Russians, or the Chinese, I'd be thinking "well, at least we know where our nukes are. And we don't lose control of OUR sats, we just blow them up when we're really done with them." oh right I’d forgotten all about that! that argument seems more plausible to me now than if I’d heard it before all this satellite shootdown talk.

Shortly before that incident, the Russians had assured the world that they didn't need to worry about the resumption of Bear flights, since the Bears weren't carrying nukes. The first thing that crossed my mind when I heard about the B-52 incident was that someone wanted to show the Russians that we're so macho that we ship nukes around *by accident* Oddly enough, that was also my thought about those errant nuclear warheads on the B-52s a while back.
