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.

Lets say Seoul gets nuked tomorrow, one of the largest cities in the world.  The response from the US would be of a swift full on destruction of North Korea.  The US woundn't just sit back and invade the country and use their military power to kill them.  What would happen if they went with standard war plans and North Korea shoots more Nukes off and hits Japan or aircraft carrier groups.  The US has only one option and thats to protect the rest of their allies from further nuclear strikes.

Yes, you are right, killing innocent people = preventing North Korea from dropping more nukes...

I think people are failing to see my point here, if the leader of that country is so deranged that he drops a nuke on another country, I don't think it will matter to him if you drop one back. Why kill millions of innocent people when you can just crush the government and key decision makers and seize whatever nukes they have left?

Unless the population of that country supported them dropping the nuke then I don't think there is a reason to drop one back.
