how do you think it will become a target?
give me one instance where a country has been attacked by another gov't whilst that country has held nuclear weapons... the u.s. has attacked thousands of tiny islands in the pacific and inherently killed off small tribes all over the place. did they have nukes? no - has the u.s. ever attacked.. say, russia whilst they have harbored nuclear arsenal?

nukes are simply a deferment strategists tool. they are never intended to be used. because of second strike capability a country that has nukes is ensured to be kept safe from a nuclear attack. attacking a country with second strike capabilities leads to a least desirable outcome for all players involved and will inevitably seek out peaceful tactics (softpower) as a result

and of course there are technical differences, but in the end, both icbm's and slbm's are fired from one location, strike another location delivering a nuclear payload and annihilate lots and lots of lives.
