West Germany was under the control of the Allies. This would be like Mexico nuking the USA if they got attacked by Canada.

No it's not. It'd be nuking an invading army on the land they stood. Kind of like how Ukraine bombs their own land when Russians are on it.

It was meant as a deterrent, not an attack. It didn't need to reach all the way to enemy territory from where it sat to serve its purpose. It's like complaining about defending yourself from a home invader because you might get blood on the carpet...
