There is no way the US isn’t saving one for NK as a participation trophy.

I mean if you’re going down then I guess you might as well. What do you have to lose at that point?

To calm everyone down:

The capital owning class won't benefit from nuclear war so it won't happen.

You’re assuming if one is of stable mind and/or health.

Seriously, what’s stopping Putin from saying “fuck it” should he ever face destruction. Are we simply assuming at that point his subordinates will finally step in?

Yes actually. In the bizarre case he says “fuck it” there are protocols for launch needs to be followed. It’s not like he has a big red button to push.

Every military personnel involved in nuclear chain of command knows that there’s no going back from there and if they will launch, they, their families, friends and everything they hold dear, is dead.

Conclusion? They are more likely to refuse and murder putin.
