I know that your study of the world's militaries is comparable to my own, but no way man, humans have a need to retaliate if attacked. There are so many strike options that any first strike would never get them all. one example is that the commander of an Ohio class sub has direct authority to launch if the U.S. chain of command is broken. That's just one example.
So if Putin launches 500 warheads, absolutely nobody is gonna be like, "oh ok you mean business, you're emperor of the world now"
Real world: "If I'm going down, then we're all going down"
