I highly doubt one would be used, atleast not against western powers. If Iran or North Korea use one it will be the last move by their country. The US would have no option but to level that country.

You cant kill millions for the sake of one country losing the plot, it would be more ideal to invade and crush their government and military.

Not sure if serious.....IF a nation like X nukes a nation such as Y, then you should expect Y to retaliate with maximum lethal force because just 1 nuke being dropped to nation Y is obviously with the intention of obliterating it. IIRC, current nukes are approx 20 times stronger than the Hiroshima/Nagazaki ones. From a self preservation standpoint, if I was nation Y and I JUST got nuked, you better believe I WILL turn that other nation to glass as I expect them to follow up on that nuke. You honestly cannot expect nation Y to send regular military force and air raids when perhaps millions of lives are already lost within seconds.
