I don't really think anyone who has the power to order those nuclear strikes cares much about the consequences. If they really cared about it they would stop their provocations dressed up as defensive behavior. After all, ballistic missiles and nuclear warheads can hardly be used to "defend" their country.

So then, why have they never nuked the United States then, after all of these years of threats?

Because maybe they don't really have much to use and threatening is a lot more profiting to them than actually doing something. A suffering population due to excessive military spending is a lot more dangerous to them than any invasion.

Screaming threats in all directions is very beneficial to their leaders especially when you're backed up by China. I doubt they actually want to attack anyone. Everything they do is just reactionary or serves their own propaganda.
