Top Comments of this video!! :3
in fairness, the show only stated that Vault-Tec was willing to drop the bombs if they had to, not that they definitively did. in New Vegas, Mr House even says that his "predictions" on when the bombs would fall was off by about 20 hours, meaning maybe Vault-Tec was planning to drop the bombs that day but someone beat them to the punch. something still went wrong, someone wasn't behind the wheel.

About the Ghouls! In Fallout 4 you get a companion named Hancock who is a chem fiend. His whole purpose in life is to do as many drugs as possible. As you rank up affinity with Hancock you actually learn that he was a regular human who did a ton of drugs until one day some strange man sold him some chems he said would turn him to a ghoul! Hancock being Hancock knowingly took the chems and did that to himself! So not only did the bombs create the ghouls, some people have learned to manufacture a drug of some sort to Ghoulify others and I find the shows expanding on that fascinating!

I don't know that the show was trying to specifically imply that ghouls come from that drug. My takeaway was just that that specific drug was such a messed up cocktail of garbage that it had the same effect as whatever messed up nuclear exposure typically turns people into ghouls.
I might just be an idiot and rationalizing something they didn't mean, but eh... it works for me at least.

Regarding your gripe about Vault-Tec being responsible for the bombs, to be fair that's not what the show said - just that they were talking about it. I even heard somewhere (can't remember who or where or if it's even canon) that an unknown someone beat them to it. Also, the reason they had the idea was that they would then essentially own the world (or at least America) after Reclamation Day. Made perfect sense to me.

On the Vault Tec thing, it's always implied that the Enclave was puppeteering Vault Tec and a few other companies like they were the highest levels of government and the military. I see it completely fitting that the Enclave had a plant (most likely Coop's wife) that pushed the idea of pulling the trigger. Plus in fallout 3 the Vault Tec logo is literally on the bomb in the center of Megaton.
Regarding the satellite, I don't think they're replacing China as the main rival to the US. In many games you come across soviet messages and old military assets that were spying, just not to the extent or threat of China. So it would make sense that a Soviet spy satellite crashed

IIRC Ghouls being caused by radiation has been founded in Fallout lore for awhile now, and I think they were trying to imply in the show that guy was just a peddler that made some fool drink radiated sludge. And as far as who dropped the bomb first it was never founded in the lore as to who did first but it had been a fan theory for awhile now that Vault Tek did it.
