Alternatively Russian early detection and deadmans switch results in retaliation launch. - US being nuked results in US sending retaliation nukes, potentially also dragging in India and UK since treaties are now invoked and treaty partners are a principal target. - India and UK nuking China or Russia puts Iran's nukes into play within Europe. Mutually Assured Destruction. The entire scenario could play out in under an hour. Politics means it would likely take longer, but if certain automated deadmans systems are still operational then multi-continental effe ts would be felt in under an hour. North Korea has often said it's intent is to build an arsenal to keep the US at bay such that it achieves complete independence from external financial and political influence. The nuke / MAD card is clearly their play. If it works out for them, expect others to follow.
