That's what MIRVs are for.

The strategy, if it existed at all and it isn't just a post-hoc explaination, was probably designed around the time the strategic bomber was the primary, and only, method of delivery of atomic bombs.

Good point, I think rockets that re-enter from space were not a thing prior to the 60's and even then I bet they didn't expect thousands of them owned by multiple nations.

I did not know about MIRVs, this comment thread has been educational.
