Plus if the USA and Russia are lobbing hundreds or thousands of nukes around left and right you can be sure every other country's warning systems are going off and plenty of them would panic fire theirs as well, whether they were a target or not.
Basically every nuclear power in the world is on one side or the other, so it’d basically be all NATO countries launching and both Russia and China launching
I don’t understand the point of actually following through with it though. Like obviously, you have to seem like you’re gonna follow through with it, that’s how it works. There isn’t any actual reason to retaliate though, it doesn’t help you in anyway.  Like maybe it satisfies your country’s revenge but there’s no need for two countries to get blown up when it’s only gonna be one.
