User blog:Fegaxeyl/Discussion: What would happen in someone new used nukes in 1983:DD

So what do you guys would think would happen as the result of a nation in 1983:DD using a nuclear weapon today? Pretty much the only powers capable of doing this are the SAC, ANZC, and USSR; while other countries may control unused nuclear bunkers, it's likely the weapons would've deteriorated by now. The SAC and ANZC, if they do have weapons (which I doubt) are even more unlikely to use them, so that pretty much narrows it down to the USSR - which may well end up using them, if it faced a significant threat in its next expansion. I'm not sure who from - I don't follow that corner of the ATL globe - but if they did, what would be the international reaction and response? Condemnation? Embargoes? A global declaration of war from pretty much every major power?

So, to the community which lives around the motto of 'what if', I ask you: what if this happened?
